MIF doesn't matter that much in the resale market. That is really only a purse forum obsession. I bought a USA bag from someone locally and they had no clue it was made in USA, they assumed they were all made in France.Would buying brand new be better for resale in the future or buying a decent preloved made in France? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
The real deciding factor shouldn't be potential resale value in the future but instead whether you want a new or preloved bag and how much you are willing to spend. There's a lot of selection regarding preloved Speedys at the moment and if you can find one in excellent condition for a good price then that may be the way to go, but generally the ones in very good/excellent condition sell for only a few hundred less than current retail and if that's the case then maybe you want to consider spending the extra for new instead (guaranteed to be authentic and you also get the buying experience).Thank you for your responses. I'm torn between buying a pre loved vs brand new speedy b 30

Buy because you like it. Don't worry about resale. Things get ruined.
Rain, babies, drinks spilling.
Get something you love and let whoever owns it after you worry about it.
For a speedy b I would personally recommend buying new, you won't save a lot on resale for that one in excellent condition, and there are still a few issues that pop up from time to time with those (chipping hardware, for example) that you may want to have the full backing of your own purchase in case you need to bring it in for a defect or repair. Save all your packaging and accessories, lock with its keys/box, cards, receipt, etc. and I'm sure down the line you'll make a decent chunk back on it if it's still in great shape when you decide to let it go.
