Little Black Bag

[javagirl87]

haha i love cargo as well!! I just bought and received in the mail today 2 cargo blushes /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I got Rome and Laguna..they are amazing!

 

[javagirl87]

I have an offer for the bookend for a nail polish and some decals I like...the ones I REALLY wanted i traded for the cargo cheek palatte and they must have shipped right away because their aren't anymore left!!!

But i'd be trading down $5...which is still better than I was before. Not sure I want the nail polish though...

I've been on LBB for awhile now. About 3 months I think? I'm pretty certain I've had a lot of trades with some of you, as I usually do a few bags a month (I quit Stylemint, Julep and Jewelmint, so all my "fun" money is going to LBB lately). I have been trading my butt off all day and still have had no luck in getting either of the Deux Lux iPad cases. Whoever has them is NOT budging. And I've had a stupid amount of Nail Polish, NA pastel stripe bag and Case Logic iPhone case offers. Not my best day on LBB for sure.

Holy crap! Do you have 5 bags open now?????

 

[javagirl87]

thanks for the earrings calimel! i dont' really like them for myself but i'm hoping to trade down a couple of dollars for something I really like in the jewelry department /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

were they not trading well? looks like i'm only getting offers for $48 max haha which is still more than my bookends so it's okay! hopeing to get a 2 item trade for them...or cute earrings.

 

[Courtney Lira]

Lol, no. But I do have three open. (shameful to say!)

Before anyone flames me (please please don't! I mean no harm!) I checked with Emily and David at LBB - I am allowed to have multiple LBB accounts, as long as I don't trade with myself, which I never do. I usually see a few things I like, and sometimes open more than one bag at a time. I never cancel, and always buy my bags, so LBB is always happy with me. I also don't have the super-powers some of the girls here do (oh how I would love a $300 retail bag) and my bags usually end up in the $105-130 retail price range.

BTW Donna, good trade for the BJ Bird Earrings just now! I think those are really cute!

 

[CaliMel]

Ya, I wasn't getting any offers at all for them. I have really terrible luck trading stuff though! Hopefully you do better with them. =]

I just got a Cargo product in my Glossybox and now Im in love. I want more and more! My next bag will be all Cargo and jewelry, hah.

 

[javagirl87]

awww i'm sorry! well the bookends are great, and they get decent 2 item trades!

did you get ay 2 item trades at all for the earrings? someone is offering me $48 ones i've had my eye on but i'm not sure if I should trade down just yet...what do you think? how long had you had them for?

which product??

 

[snllama]

A EyeBronzer. I couldn't find it on their website. But its a pot of loose shimmery bronze/gold pigment with a sponge applicator.

btw how did your presentation go?

Ive been avoiding this thread to ensure i dont open up another bag.

oh wow, that sounds gorgeous. that's the only eye color I use! I'm so jealous you have a glossybox!

It went well actually, she said that it seems like I have something to go off of with my results (though I have a lot more work to do and the 20-25 page paper is due on the 15th...ugh). And that even if I dont' find anything that it's also good. I'm doing a gendered language analysis in modern italian TV ads. So if there doens't end up being any differences it just means that women and men are being treated more equally with marketing language (nothing wrong with that!). I think i'm just really stressed with three 20 page papers to write and no real direction haha

Thanks for asking! All you guys are so sweet for being so supportive! I starting doubting my decision though...I don't know if I can deal with this much stress for 4- 5 more years!

I wouldn't be able to keep up!

Thanks, I love those earrings. I'm planning to give those to my sister for her birthday. I know she will love them. Although...if I get a great offer. LOL

I didn't intend for mine to be all jewelry, but it sure looks like that's what I'll be getting! lol

Don't open a bag. It's like everyone is onto us, and no one is offering any decent trades. This is too much like work!

I have two accounts as well, and I haven't been trading with myself. I opened two for the same reasons. My other bag is going really well. But this one is terrible, so I will probably cancel it and then buy the other since it's pretty much perfect even though I only have a couple of items! I would've bought this bag if it hadn't gotten so awful, but there really is not a single item in there that I feel is worth my money.

Java - I had those earrings for pretty much most of today. I ended up trading the bookends, I shouldve waited for a two item offer like you said. I get too impulsive and then I make poor trading choices. =(

She just has the luck and quite a bit of skill too when it comes to trading. That was a nice one!

I'm sorry I didn't take those earrings off your hands, but I had a feeling they were trouble to get rid of(, unless Steph has them! lol) I really don't like the W/A Studios jewelry at all.

 

[CaliMel]

Lol it's okay! No worries. =]

I don't want anyone to feel obligated to trade with me just because I am from here, especially if it's not something you have a good feeling about!!

My other bag is going better because I was insistent on not trading the main item I picked, and only trading for things I wanted. Although I did kind of mess up and traded a bag I had and loved for two items and ended up trading down $20 to the Betsey Johnson Bow Ring.

I have an offer on it for the $85 Zip around wallet but I don't have a good feeling about taking it! I'm scared I'll get stuck with it, since it really doesn't look worth that much money to me! Has anyone traded that item at all?

 

[CaliMel]

Okay well I went for it and traded and apparently people do want that little wallet, because there was a couple of good offers! I must have really weird taste because to me that thing just isn't interesting, but that's what makes this site work I guess! It wouldn't work very well if we all loved the same stuff!

Haha I did have them!! I took them from her. I JUST traded them for the gold jenny bird hoops!!! YAY! I love them. However...they're totally not worth $60, they're brass!??!?! Weird. Also people are offering less than they did for the W/A ones! Which is strange because i think these are better looking/more classic...I'm gonna try and trade them up with one of my items for a bag. If not then I'd be happy with a 2 item trade or keeping them. I really do like them...I just think I could get so much more out of 60 LBB bucks.

But I cant' complain because that started off as $26 decals less then 6 hours ago haha
