Would you buy an LV that has been on display?

I bought my 2016 Speedy 30 from the display in Herald's Square. There was another one from the back but the leather looked crinkled on the sides of the bag and the display looked better. The SA also stated it was not on display long. No returns and never thought of it again until I saw this post.
 
Hate to break it to you, but virtually every bag in the store has been handled. I was in there today and they had two of the particular bag I was interested in.... we were two customers who looked at them... one on the shelf and one from the drawer. Neither one of us bought that perticular bag. I took longer ... so my “drawer bag” ended up on the display shelf.....f you want one that is “virgin”.... order it online.... but you always run the risk that it is a return.
 
Haven’t even thought of it until this post. I am that person who buys the bag that I see and like from the display. My Alma PM and the new locky bb are 2 I am sure I got from the display. I inspect for scratches /issues etc but if it’s pristine I don’t care.
 
I was recently in Paris and found the LV I wanted (Tuileries satchel) they only had the one in display, so I bought it as it seemed in great condition although it had been out for a couple of weeks. The bag looks great but I am now wondering if I did the right trying on such expensive bag :sad:
My croisette was the display model but I loved it and it was the last one in stock. It’s perfect, so I don’t mind at all. Plus I feel like most of the bags in store have been handled at one point or another, so it’s not a big deal unless it was scratched or something.

I would... As long as it's perfect condition :)
