I was never crazy about handbags, I had some good stuffs because of working years ago, that I needed something nice to walk around with. I could not picture myself in a beautiful tailor-made suit but a lousy handbag in a launch event meeting. Everything just had to be top-notch at that time, I am very happy now with flip-flop and golfing outfit everyday. I don't even comb my hair some day if I decided a cap would go on top of it, who cares now?!
Someones left-over would be other's treasure; you'd never know until you list it on ebay. I was talking to my friends about this Gucci tote bag I had for over 12 years, it has been sitting in the garage since I moved to Florida, never once I used it for something, dust and co-web was occupying the surface of it. Until now, I am cleaning up the garage and prepare for moving, that I made up my mind to sell any non-useful items on ebay.
I listed this bag for $49.99
I thought I would get $100+ possibly, I said to myself. Well, let's clean it up and give it a go! At the end of the day, it is still a genuine Gucci.
Out from the blue, once I listed it, I had email asking me for further photos and detail description of this bag. I said to myself: "It's gonna cost about $500+ to get a Gucci Tote these days."
I spent $350 on this bag 12 years ago, I used it a few days a week for work if I wasn't using a Jean Paul Crocodile skin suitcase at that time. It served me for over 2 years. Guess how much it was sold for nowadays?!
A whopping $ 227 plus someone has to pay $16 for me to ship this item!
It is very difficult to believe an exclusive handbag held its 70% value after 12 years!
From this day on, I would encourage all my girlfriends --- Let's go shopping! to buy some expensive handbags for future investment! Viola!
