Full Version: Okay, I Selling My Men's Coach Messenger Bag

Well, I decided to sell my men's Coach messenger bag that I bought earlier this past summer and get another one from Coach. This one I like much better because I love the color, a nice rusty brown suede, and it's not so showy as the other one I have now; which I have up for sale on Ebay.

What do you think?

I think this one will suit me more. I will still give me all the room as my other one and make me feel not so "girly" with this current one. I have been on the fence with this one I have right now since I have bought it.

This is what the one I own looks like and I am selling on Ebay now (I hope to recoup my cost somewhat, we'll see!):

I do like this current bag a lot but I guess with it being so loud with all the C's on it, I guess I do not feel the confidence to pull it off. "Beautiful as it is. Oh well... sigh..."

Well, this new one I have ordered is really nice. It is a bit more in cost but I have a feeling I'll like it more for the long haul.

Just felt like posting about it.

Hope everyone is having a great day! smile.gif

Thanks Chard, I agree. It's nice, the new one I'm going to get. I think it's much more classic smile.gif

I wish it was available at the time I bought the other one! Oh well, live and learn! LOL!

I'm trying to say this gently, albeit with trepidation.

Is is realistic to put a BIN of $260 plus $15 shipping on a used bag that can be ordered new from the Coach website for $258 with free shipping? Perhaps you're only using that as a come-on and will be satisfied with the opening bid of $220 plus shipping, but I have to say that if it were me, I'd probably want a new bag for very little extra outlay. Especially since you seem to be using a stock photo and not one that shows the actual bag.

In addition, I think the discrepancy between shipping prices in the listing is courting trouble, or at least a dissatified buyer.

Sorry. I hope it works out for you.

I understand your points here and believe me, no offense taken.

I had a hard time trying to get that shipping calculator to to work anyway I wanted to it. So I just gave up and posted in the message of the auction notice what it will actually cost to send the buyer. It may cause for confusion, you're right with the buyer. Believe me, I had this issue with a buyer before when I sold something this past year. I ended up not selling to the buyer and sold to someone here in the U.S. and actually making the profit I wanted to.

"I really hate using Ebay..... grumble, grumble, grumble... "

Yep and I used the stock photo because I don't have a good camera that works for me to use. I hate not having a camera! But luckily I was able to sell an item with a stock photo on a Coach sterling silver ring a few months back with no problem. Your points are really good ones.

I did drop the price a bit more on the "buy it now" price to $250.00 since I did think I was asking more than what I should've. I'll be happy to get just the $220.00 if someone does buy it for that amount at final bid.

If not, I'll relist and I'll be happy with getting it sold at a new starting price of $200 or even $195.00. At this point, I'm truly realizing "beggars can't be choosers", at least not in this economy.

Thanks for your thoughts, I do really appreciate them.

Good for you! Consider the difference between the purchase price and selling price of the bag as "rent".

Whew, Mando! I'm feeling relief and happiness right along with you. Ship that sucker off!

I like both of them, to be honest. But I'm looking at your new one and thinking "suede wouldn't last a week in my house without getting stains." Enjoy it!!
