I don’t know what to do. I have 2 GSTs, a burgundy and a black in absolutely mint condition. I am not carrying them because they are heavy. I have tons of other bags including a jumbo, a boy and 2 WOCs. Not to mention many vuitton. Just worried I might have regrets. But right now they are taking up space. Will my 16 year old kill me in 10 years for selling chanel GSTs? I paid $2900 plus tax many years ago and I’m guessing I’d get close to $2000 for each on one of the well known resale sites. Please advise.
Would you sell GSTs to buy jewelry?

Sell what you don’t love, for something you do love. And live for now, not what may or may not happen in years to come. Your 16 yo might not even be interested in this particular one bag in a sea of thousands of bags (or may not even care about bags at all) 
Ha! Of course not. Your taste is not her/his taste, now or in the future.
If you want to think about investing in any meaningful way for the kid's future, holding onto old GSTs--losing value every year--sure isn't the way.
GSTs are definitely losing value, I would sell and get jewelry. Not fashion jewelries.
Live in the present. If you’ve not used it in the last year it may be time to let go of one or both. Make an effort to wear them over the next two weeks and see if you still really love them. I had two GST in Black but different color hardware. Over the years my taste and style changed after so I ended up selling one of them. GL with your decision.
Between bag and jewellery, jewellery definitely get my vote! I think I’ve heard ladies raising issues about the weight of the gst and also that gst hasn’t been mentioned around much for years hence the dropping of value. But as what the rest of the ladies have said- if you haven’t been using the gst, then probably you don’t love it enough. Plus, if you’re thinking of passing down items to your children, a piece of nice luxe jewellery def sound more attractive then a bag. Just my opinion! Good luck deciding!
Along w/ all of the other lovelies & their replies, I would also sell or consign them if you are not (& will not use them in future)...since you question if your “16 yr old would kill me if I sell them?”....does this mean she loves your GST’s? If she truly loves them & will use them, i would consider passing 1 down to her & selling one as a “compromise.” But I can’t tell from your post as to whether she loves the GST or would she just be upset that you are not passing down a Chanel to her? Hmmm? Best luck deciding!!
She may not be a bag person at all. My mom was a collector my whole life and at that age I got into jewelry and bags because I loved everything my mom had. My sister is not into bags and it hasn't changed as she got older. She is more of makeup person and I doubt your daughter will resent you because you decided to sell your bags. She probably has something else that she is in love with.
Sell sell sell ! I did the exact same thing I wasn’t using it and was too heavy I was tired of the big logo and put cash towards jewelry
My daughters are in their teen and couldn’t care less

Sell and use the money for something you love and you will use.....You can pass on your other designer bags to your daughter if she is interested in them...
