PurseBlog Asks: Do You buy Pre-Owned Bags or only New?

I wouldn’t phone call myself a “discount shopper,” precisely (I like costly stuff as well much for that to be true), however I do truly dislike to pay full cost for things I don’t need. (Or, hell, even things I do.) I’m a single lady in a extremely costly city, to ensure that means a great deal of my money goes to social activities as well as living expenses, as well as in order to keep that way of life rolling, I have to be cautious elsewhere. That’s true of a great deal of fashion enthusiasts in a great deal of different circumstances across the world, as well as all of us have our own methods of managing it.

Personally, I’ve bought a ton of designer bags second-hand, particularly when the bags were from brands that seldom or never go on sale. For a great deal of shoppers, the high-end sales experience is part of what makes the designer cost tag worth it, however that’s never been particularly true for me–what I want is the specific thing I’m lusting after. After all, if I want to feel special for buying something at a elegant store, there’s always the beauty department, which puts a much smaller dent in my discretionary budget plan than a brand new, full cost bag. That’s exactly how I make the math work for me.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I don’t buy things brand new–the decision calculus is different for each bag. I’ve had great second-hand experiences, though, as well as so did Katherine in her very first designer resale buying experience earlier this year.
