This may be a stupid question but what is Klout?
You basically link all your social media sites together in place and they give you a # based on the amount of people you could influence. Someone please correct me if i'm wrong! Then you seem to get certain free things out of it, although i'm not eligible for most of it because my clout score is under 45 or something like that.

 
Thank you for the Klout link and for letting us know that it works if you log in via FB. I did it and got my extra item! I got a lipgloss. =]

Now my bag has 7 items!! I started with 4 items, so I feel pretty good about how it's turned out!

 
I will be posting pics later in the pic thread, but let me just say right now I have NO idea how they can even possibly make the Deux Lux bag look anything remotely like pink and call it blush. This bag is BROWN! lol. Not a light brown, or a pinkish brown, straight up medium brown.

 I do like the bag, but I would have been severely disappointed if I expected something even sort of pink. There's no pink to be found. It's definitely just brown and gold.

I have all the tissue that came in the LBB box inside my bag to try to get it to mold to a decent shape. With nothing in it, it collapses on itself and looks... odd. But otherwise, the faux leather feels buttery soft and has zero toxic smell. I think I'd love a fully faux leather Deux Lux bag.

ohhhh I want to see! i'm excited to get my bow clutch, i think that one is all faux leather. I JUST finished my 2nd paper yay!  It was due at midnight but i was 40 min late...oh well she won't care.I

My LBB looks pretty good right now...but I remember now why I always end up with a bag...I think I always doubt the value of my bag being worth $55 unless I have a huge item in it. Even though the coil is worth $45 and the coin necklace is $38 (probably more at other sites) I still feel like i'm not getting enough for my money haha. People are starting to really want that coin necklace (offers of $45) but i'm starting to fall in love with it!!

 
They've had the waitlist since I signed up, but I was able to bypass it by inviting people via fb or email. If you put just one email in, it let you bypass the waitlist before.

Is it different now?

Man I wish I could give some of you super traders my account! I have 7 items and only 1 day left and I don't really love anything I have except for the dangly earrings that are the reason I bought the bag!

If i were you (and this IS what i do...) trade multiple items for something you really love. Then you'll at least feel like it's worth your money. I usually have to trade down a few items for a bag I really like.

 
I forgot to post my last bag I just shipped!



I'm not super excited about what I got, I really wanted the Hobo bag, and the necklace was on my list since I saw it in a girls video. The earrings i've been wanting for awhile but not crazy about since they're not me...but I find that i've been mixing up my style with LBB around!

I like the clutch...not sure how much ill use it though. And the laptop case is more because I couldn't get rid of it, and don't have one for my computer. So it's useful at least.

Total retail = $246

Yup, I agree with Stephanie. It's time to consolidate, offer two and three items for the stuff you really want. Offer slightly under at first, like if what you want is $70 offer $55-65. Sometimes they want the extras to trade so bad that they will take it (I've seen some take waaaaayyyyy under, but that's unusual. You could try it if you want, but since you're running out of time, you might want to try surer bets.) Then try exact value or close. Then go over as much as it takes to get it. I'm at even exchange trades for the things my sister wants, since under didn't work. lol *fingers crossed*

 
Also, don't stop trading up as much as you can. That means you can offer better and better for the things you want later in the day, if the other trades aren't working. If you're watching what trades, sometimes it's better to trade for something you don't want but can get, and then use that to get the things you want too. So consider some sideways trades if what you've got isn't moving, but you can get something that is.

 
yayy i got the leather and coin black earrings i've always wanted! and they look great in my bag next to the ben amun coin necklace :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

That's going to look gorgeous together! 

 
Ugh I really like the items in my bag (especially the ben amun necklace) but I REALLY want one of the new necklaces that only one person has and wont' give up...

I'm debating canceling my bag and getting that instead since this really is my last bag for 3 months..what do you guys think? I like the ben amun a lot and can see myself wearing it when I go out, but the necklace in the gallery I can see myself wearing everyday! plus it's gold so it would be worth my $55 alone... (p.s. it's the crescent necklace by robyn rhodes)

haha thanks!! I got lucky with two bags I like :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> (although one wasn't luck since I chose the hobo as my main item lol)

 
Wow, my BCBG clutch (that I looove) gets really good offers! Stuff over the price and really pretty purses. There's one that is tempting me soooo bad, that I keep staring at. There's also a 2 item Gorjana jewelry trade (Tinsley necklace + a nice, easy enough to trade, item for equal value of my bag) that's super tempting too.

 
Ahhh, now the big Buddha crossbody (which I have seen in two videos now, it's really nice) + another item. SO. FRAKKIN. TEMPTING!

don't do it unless you love the other items just as much!! I learned that the hard way :p

I think i'm going to keep the bag I have right now...as much as I like the cresent necklace i'm not actually sure how big the pendant is and my rings that I wear on a daily basis (never take off except to shower) are siver. one is my mom's so i'm not willing to stop wearing that one haha

 
So far I'm staying strong. That BCBG clutch is super duper amazeballs. I saw it in a few videos and it works like a deluxe wallet or clutch. It's really practical! 

I love that cresent necklace too, btw! Been trying to get it as well. lmao!
