purse
« on: May 04, 2013, 04:45:22 pm »
Could some one tell me if this is old or not? I bought it at the auction last night, i say it is,   my bf says no.  It has no tags anywhere on it. The bottom is just a tad tattered on  one spot, but not on the inside.

I believe i can sell this purse but she wont look at a pic of it untill i give a price i want for it. Any suggestions? Not looking to get rich. But i did buy it to make money. She just wont make an offer. You have too with the pic.

It all boils down to, how much of a profit you are looking for,..of course we,d all like to buy at a pittance, and sell for oodles of $...but that,s not going to happen here,is it,...it is after all, only a purse,only you know how much you paid, and only you can say how much you want for it,....then its up to the buyer,...its their money,....the only advice i can give, is ask,..over what you,d accept, then if the buyer goes for it, you,ve scored, but if the buyer offers less, but its still within your profit margin, then sell, ..the buyer,s happy as they,ve knocked you down, and you,re happy cos you,ve made a profit....its not Rocket Science...

Personally...I,think you,ll frighten the life out of the prospective buyer,asking $50....i know i said ask a little more than your acceptable price, but at 50 i think you,re pushing the boat out too far,..you paid 12,therefore if you doubled your money,..you should be happy,..me i.d ask around 40...but...its up to you,....just be sure to have smelling salts handy, when you pick the buyer up off the floor.... ;D

LOL  40 it is then. I was just thinking of the cost i will have to pay to mail it. If she takes it  it will be going to the bag lady emporioum. But 40 should be fine. Thank you again :)

Why would you pay the postage?..that should be the responsability of the buyer,..or is things done differently in the US...

Stick with the $50. !!  Chances are she will offer less anyway !!  If you stay with the $40. that would be plus postage and a small handling fee,, say $2.50 unless you have free stuff for packing !!  I save my plastic sacks from store purchases !!  Best packing I ever found and they weigh almost nothing !! I use them for everything !!  Never had anything damaged or broken !!
