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.
-
Never mind what BF says..if you like it...let him lump it...it does look old, probably early 20th century...

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...

Well im kind of ignorant when it comes to this stuff. I paid 12 think i'll ask 50. Too much? See i dont know. I cant find not even 1 on ebay to help me. 50 it is i guess. Thank you for your help.
-
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...
-
SHE should pay shipping/handling!!! Not you!
-
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 !!

Well i havent heard back from her yet. I said 50 and id go down a little not much. Im like you, i know she'll say lower lol. The bags are a good idea. Save me some money. Thanks for every bodys help and GOD bless.
-
a word of advice, never tell a buyer your thoughts,...by telling her you d drop from the 50,makes asking for 50 in the first place, pointless,
-
Yes !! Wullie !! Buyer always makes the first move !! Then,, don`t be too quick to answer !! Seller should just push the positive,, buyer will counter with negative points,, then talk money !!
