that's okay,
bRs, there'll be so many more bbags to come your way....
it's like a damn if you do, damn if you don't kind of thing-
gals have lucked out b/c they've taken that chance on sellers who've listed authentic bbags who may not have provided many/great photos, so there's no bid war and price ends up so low. then there're the scammers who, of course, intentionally don't provide enough photos for the bidder to distinguish the item as real or fake and make an informed decision-that's a chance too risky to take but some do the leaping before fully looking.
so i'm with you...i would've waited for more pics. i recently won a 2004 rose bbag-the listing had 2 (yes, TWO) pics. the hardware in the photo was not easy to tell, but i went with my gut feeling and prayed hard and placed a max bid. well, i ended up winning b/c there were hardly any other bidders. but between the time i won and the bag arriving, i was sweating my balls off b/c i was second guessing my judgment and decision. yeah, the bbag i received ended up authentic but it's honestly not a good feeling when you're doubting yourself-you end up losing so much sleep.....
