Would you rehab this bag??

Yes! Yes you do. It is safe to say that this woman got her money's worth out of this bag and that she did not rotate this bag out with others.
I don't know how the seller could say it was in good condition. Even though there may be no other defects in the leather or hardware, I would not say it was in good condition. I do agree it could be a gorgeous patina IRL.
RIP, 238-2732, you worked long and hard!

I thought for sure this one would be on the thread:

As much as I would love to try, I know I would hate it after. Some brave soul in here needs to take on the challenge!

I would not. Not with that very dark spot and the very big wear on the corner. Though I have rehabbed a very beat up one of these okay, it was dark brown and that made it easier than this one!
 
Hi! My co-worker has a pretty blue Nomad in the larger size that she'll sell to me for 75.00, but if she sells it on Ebay her starting bid would be 100.00. The pictures show a bad ink stain and sticky stuff on the lining.
She emailed me pictures and I will view the bag in person when I see her at work.
f I did purchase I would try to rectify those problems by pulling out the liner and try one of the methods I see online. Pics:

For that price I sure would rehab it! Understanding that I could probably make the interior look better but not perfect - but it doesn't show! You may be able to eliminate the sticky stuff and lighten the ink stain.

One question, does the bag still have the Coach hangtag or is that missing? You can call Coach and ask for a free replacement.

Yes it still has the original hangtag. She bought it at a local consignment shop for 28.00 +tax, so IMO she'll still make a profit.
