Ok sooo... long story short, i need to get my fiance a COACH purse.Shes getting mad i keep getting things here and there and she really wants one... so i gotta compromise and get her one so the modding can continue.So i was wondering if anyone knows someone, who knows someone who can get a good deal or a lower than reg. price purse.Ill post a pic of the one she likes. but im not picky so niether should she if its from me right? so if you can get one cheap IM me or post on here.Thanks a million in advance!!!- remember its for a good cause... MORE MODS!

For a second there I thought you were going to get a Man-Purse! lol

nope sorry... stick to MANLY wallets. thank you very much.guess i should have worded it better!

If you *really* want to be able to do more mods without her saying much of anything, I think I'd get her the purse she wants, or at least the closest thing to it you can find. And be sure you don't get a fake.

oh come on fake ones are awesome and only you would know.....unless your fiance found out, but tell her you were just trying to save money for the wedding

Try ebay--they usually have a good selection of purses, lots brand new. But yeah, definitely make sure you don't get a fake. Those are notoriously one of the most copied accessories. They are expensive but they are great quality and it'll last her forever if she takes care of it!

lol. do NOT buy her a FAKE Coach purse! sheesh! then you would never be allowed to spend mod money! i purchased a Coach purse back in 2002 in Vegas. I don't like purses, but i really really liked this one, so I went ahead and forked out the $200 for it. Still have it and i do use it. it's superb quality no doubt, but i don't know if i'd buy another and pay that kinda money for it. you can try ebay, but make sure it comes with a certificate of authenticity. mine did and was even numbered to show what # it was made out of how many. i'm sure your fiance is no dummy if she wants a COACH in particular. so she'll be looking for that authenticity certificate! good luck!

ok ok fine, get the real one, you get what you pay for if its from ebay make sure they have good feedback. theres actually a business in MN that rents out purses like coach and other high end ones! i read about it in the paper, so women can rent a new purse every couple months and always have a nice one.

Mike, I don't know what style she likes, so I'll just throw these out there:http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-AUTHEN...wItem - currently $61.00 + $5,99 s/h - ends in 40 minshttp://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-COACH-...wItem - currently $54.47 + $8.99 s/h - ends in 2 hours 5 minshttp://cgi.ebay.com/New-Authen...wItem - currently $41.00 + $20.00 s/h - ends in 2 hours 32 minsNOT SURE HOW LEGIT THIS ONE IS: http://cgi.ebay.com/Brand-New-...wItem - currently $23.50 + $8.00 s/h - ends in 3 hours 19 minsThere's tons more, just run a search for coach purse, watch out for the used ones and ask plenty of questions i.e. cert of authenticity. Good luck!

Thanks a whole bunch Psychobroker--now I want that red one!!!

i will seriously never understand the expensive purse thing. the only reason women want these friggin' things is because they cost so much, it's like a status symbol. most of the really pricey ones are ugly as all hell anyway. what good is having a "nice" purse if you don't have any money to keep in it because you bought the damn thing? i dunno, i guess i gave up on the whole "i want this because it's made by >" thing back in highschool.BTW, whose money pays for the mods? yours? if so, bah!

thanks for all that info!!! sheesh WOMEN... cant live with them cant live without them!!! Ill look on ebay... but i dont wanna get her a fake. shes got an eagle eye for fakes.And yeah i pay for my mods... but a wedding and getting my own place... *sighs..... damn broke mexican i am*LOL. thanks a bunch guys

well i'm not a purse person. in fact, i detest them. i always forget them and hate having to carry one around. however, when i found this one, i really liked it so went ahead and spent the $$$. still use it. it's perfect for 2 16oz soda cans and still enough room for wallet and phone for the theater.

(removed)... nice one. well after this year ill be good. i just wanna drop the car and put an exhaust on it. then redo the speakers (buddy has connections) and ill be pretty much good. i know i cant afford a well needed unichip or SC. I love cosmetic upgrades anyways.Thanks again all. and hopefully i can get a cheap one and still get my springs before summer ends! *crosses fingers*

I don't understand the current "purse obsession" of American women either. It seems to have really boomed in the past few years, and I can't figure out why. And I can't wait for it to be *over*...because I hate purses with short straps...I want a long one so I can put it across my body like a messenger bag...and they *all* have short straps now and are ungodly expensive. I can't even find a Fossil purse I like anymore, and I used to like pretty much all of theirs. And they could be gotten for about $20 on sale. No more though...now they're like $100, because people will pay it.

Mike, I was picking up my daughter from the Y and saw a sign in someones lawn that said "Coach purse $50.00". Give me a picture and I'll go purse shopping for you. Or at least a good description. Yeah ha!!! Also, make sure you get The One that your lady likes or you'll just need to get another one. My wife "needed" a specific Fendi last year and I mean it was get the hell out of the way serious. Good luck.

ill post a pic up in a lil while... still at work. its a white one with brown edges and has the colored coach symbols all over. its a midsized purse too... retailed 300+... man thats my exhaust!!! *really big sigh*Thanks for your help

Ouch!!! That means she knows exactly what she wants. You've heard "for every action there's an equal and oppisite reaction". Translation for every $ spent on a mod she needs to spend equally on something you don't understand. Your mods now have a 100% mark up.

i will never understand it either...i told becky that if she spent more than 100 dollars on a purse that could barely hold a cell phone i'd probably not talk to her for weeks, ciuz i think it's stupid...but luckily i don't have to worry about purses too much, she loves KMart and Target for those... however i do have to worry about shoes gah!!!!!

Noooooooo!Great... im screwed!Naw... she just wants one nice one... cuz i always pay for dinner and buy her clothes too. i take care of my girl... but gotta take care of my car too!

http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Coach-...wItemGeez! 200+ for this bag... "women are the devil" - waterboy!Welp i know what im lookin at price wise huh?bye bye springs... hello coach purse! Grrr

Yeah the actual coach site had the bag for $218.So i bid on one on ebay... but doubt it will sell for cheaper than wat the site has... all the others close to ending are at $202. so might as well buy it from the makers right?Damn women... but after this... my vibe goin low!

Did you get the purse?

No not yet... i gotta find out how much her speeding ticket is... once again, DAMN women! Then im purse shopping so i can buy my spirngs.

Don't know if this will help but the sign in the yard with handbags for sale has a # 513 741-4252. I'm sure it's a long shot but you asked.

I'm going to guess that the ones for sale in the yard are probably not real Coach purses either. If she's picky enough to know exactly which one she wants, she is probably picky enough to know a fake from the real thing...heh.

well i just got a speeding ticket on friday too!!! damn cops!!!So the coach purse is outta question for now... but we did compromise on her getting her bluetooth headset for her phone, and i could still get some lowering springs from damronjr. so i guess it works out.But we each got a ticket so were playing good boy and girl till we take driving school.

aw too bad. i have 3 blue tooth headsets... could have sold you one for pretty cheap. even have a new one, but can't take it back since i already ripped up the packaging. i have 2 BT phones and needed a headset that would allow me to toggle back and forth b/w the two. had my older one that i'd been using for 2 yrs and that one still works fine but won't do what i wanted. then i bought a second for the other phone that came with the Skype VOIP package. then the next day, while in Best Buy, I found a Plantronics BT headset that allows me to toggle b/w the two without having to disconnect from one phone to the other. so i have 2 other BT headsets! lol. go figure. i'll end up keeping one so phil has one when i upgrade his phone in a few months.

Well duh! your the electonics guru here! Well i still want one for my phone... we have the verizon V phone or VX9800So in a lil while i might get one... just dont wanna pay 100 bucks for one. she got hers in a package. $80 for the headset and leather case and car charger.I just want the HS for like 60-80!

i'm in no way an electronics GURU. i am a gadget geek (i admit this) who likes to take things apart to see how it works and then usually has a bit of trouble putting it back together and making it all work. i just dive in as Jahntassa knows, and hope for the best. i just enjoy technology and embrace it. best buy, comp usa, they all LOVE me. I am one of their best customers.... Phil is so lucky he gets to usually have the latest (maybe not the greatest since i don't like spending all that $$$ on something that will be obsolete w/i 6 mos) in technology. if i upgrade something of my own, he gets an upgrade too (usually). when i got myself a new video ipod, he got one too. when i upgraded my phone, he.... ok, not yet, but will soon. you get the idea.but really, a Coach purse isn't that necessary. sure they are nice (and i've been using mine more often since i did spend $200 on the damn thing) but if she waits til after the wedding, she'll be able to afford a really nice one! lol
