please tell me i'm not an idiot...
Permalink Closed

or, if you disagree, tell me i am!


i just won this bag (black perforated gap tote) on ebay for $71.  it was $98 in stores and it's been gone forever from all the stores near me.  with $12 shipping it's still cheaper than in stores, but ...is it really worth it?  i hate ebay, i always get all worked up and competitive... originally i said i wouldn't go above $50....and i really do like this bag, and wanted to update my "everyday" black bag anyway...


here it is


 


so am i a dumbass or will it be okay?  i have the money, but i'm already feeling like i could've spent it on something "better"...plus, i just got a new purse last weekend.  and i have like 50 at home.  ugh...

No, you're not a dumbass! I'd wait for it to arrive and if you feel like t wasn't worth it, just put it up on eBay again - I assume there were other bidders...:)


I like it, btw...

i don't think you're an idiot.  i think it's cute and an ok price for it (not a super-fab deal, but you didn't get ripped off either).  it's a very cute bag and you'll get a lot of use out of it--don't worry about it.

No you are not an idiot.  Your bag is on sale for $79.99 in gap online, but you have to pay tax and shipping for it.  And I do like the bag.

you're not an idiot. I have that bag in dark pink and I carry i often. I think it's actually decent quality for the price. I usually like Gap leather bags though.

thanks ladies.  i actually feel better about it now...guess it was just instant buyer's remorse.


plus, i am checking my email as i write this, and the seller said that since the bidding went so high he'll be including a gap scarf that retails for 19.50.  yay!  i hope it's cute.


so now it's like i got a really good deal...(i love justification)


happy friday!  i can't wait for my new bag!

You're not an idiot! I have that bag and I love it!! It is on sale now for 79.99 but you got a free scarf in the deal so I think it was still a good buy!  You will love the bag!
