Why did you sell your Chanel 19?

If you've had a Chanel 19 and sold it, or found that it didn't work for you, please share what size/leather/color you had and why it didn't work for you.
I only see people raving about this bag, but there are so many on the resale market, I'm trying to get as much input as possible to avoid making a mistake in getting one!
I haven’t bought one, I don’t like the look of it. However the ones I’ve seen on Fashionphile seem to have structure issues. Some look like the front is caving in, or the flap no longer lines up with the stitching and isn’t level. The sides stick out and aren’t level. Some even look dull where the chain handle rubs against the flap. On Instagram I‘ve seen several where the center top dips, making the sides stick out further and the bottom sags. I think a lot of those bags probably have too much weight inside.
 
Here’s some examples. If you don’t mind a slouchy bag the 19 should work for you.

The sagging and structure loss are not issues. People don’t seem to realise that the bag is meant to be like this. It’s not supposed to be a structured bag. If it were, it would have a rigid base like the flap, and Chanel would offer the option of caviar leather. The bag is meant to be slouchy and smooshy and not keep its shape. That’s why I like it. It has a more casual feel. Also the sides do stick out, that’s intentional. People probably sell it because it’s not what they expected or they wanted an It bag for Instagram or whatever, and now they’ve tired of it. I have no issue with mine. The only reason I would sell it is because I don’t feel it’s a classic and I would rather have bags that I can keep for years and won’t look dated.
 
have you used yours a lot?
When I first got I used it as my daily bag, now maybe once a month. I need to carry a laptop to work and really haven’t been going anywhere else other than work. So it hasn’t gotten used as much. As much as I love the bag, I have a feel in a year or two it will be dated, might as well sell it now when I can get top dollar for it!
 
I love the entire “look” of this bag! Alas, however, I did not purchase this silhouette in any size offered. Try putting your most needed essentials in to the bag! That shoulder strap, no matter wearing it crossbody or not, did NOT rest properly on my frame. It hurt! I wanted to be able to wear it crossbody, not just carry it in the hand with just the chain.

I heard a lot of people say that an organizer/bag shaper may help prevent all these issues. I am on the fence about this bag too. I would want a bag to last forever but looks like the 19 may not last that long if used as an every day bag. I dont have a lot of bags to rotate through..I know most of the people who love the 19 have more than one bag perhaps and they rotate them through and have no problems of it loosing structure or getting more slouchier.
