Oh, she and her company learned a lesson alright. If you took up her offer for a full refund, she would have to re-sell the 4-month-old bag at a loss.

Moreover, she had to deal with you.

With the name Mr. Moo, do you feel at all responsible for being able to identify calfskin?

This is not to say I think you are in the wrong. In fact, to the contrary, you did not receive the item you paid for and you deserve compensation.

It's pretty gross that you won't accept her offer of full refund and return of merchandise because you like the bag too much and won't part with it under any circumstances, but you still see fit to complain because you only made a 10% bargain instead of a 70% bargain. I don't like how your story changes from "I don't want to have the vendor end up with a used bag" to "I like the bag too much to give it up". Your true face is revealed too easily.

Don't claim this is about principle. If it were about principle you would be willing to sacrifice material goods you enjoy (your bag) in return for a moral victory (full refund) which would leave you in the same position you were in beforehand and "teach the vendor a lesson".

I assume your threat to call amex is bluster, because you'd have to return your goods - if amex would even refund you after four months of use.




Do you also buy suits for special occasions, and then return them the next day with the tag still attached? You strike me as that sort of person.

This is all drivel. Please re-read the thread.

You are so very wrong. Moo is a master at turning **** into comedy gold.

He's like a sartorial sitcom.

I'm picturing Moo running around San Francisco wearing shorts and using a sock as a pocket square while loudly complaining that his "man bag" isn't as soft and wrinkly as it should be.

The jokes practically write themselves.

Think a taller, slightly (very) thinner George Costanza.

You know, when you posted a pic of this before on some other threads and described it as deerskin, I almost said, "This really doesn't look like deerskin; it looks like calf." But, I just didn't figure it was worth mentioning, though I could see the differences from the single pic you posted.

Moo - Just amortize the 30% at issue. I bet it turns out to be a few pennies a day. Then, make it a habit to pick up every penny you see. I see a net gain looming on your horizon....

I think that bag is still deerskin.

Well, hell B, if it makes you feel better, you and moo can pretend it's from the shorn scrotum of a baby unicorn. That being said, it's still pretty obviously calf.

I have a bag from that. It is very luxe and magical.

It has all the markings of deer: fluffy tail; doe eyes; and the kind of prance that cannot possibly come from cattle.

It's deerskin, I tell you. I will stake my Señor Member status on it. I really will.

I have two bags like that which I carry 24/7.
