As is - are those all the bags people complained about and returned????

Not always. Some of them were simply returned , etc... I've gotten some perfect bags from as-is and then too, I've gotten the occasional loser.

Wish the orange would show up. It does from time to time and I keep thinking it's the same bag that goes out and gets sent back, but I'd like to give it a try. I had one when new and sent it back because there was an odd but small streak in the leather, which was not a flaw and not damage but was completely natural. Still, I didn't cotton to it... I'd also prefer the 'as is' price. Maybe I'll finally give the black a try.

If I weren't on a handbag diet, I would definitely get the espresso lizard at the as is price. But, I'll be good... for now Smile

I don't know... at that price I might be tempted to capitulate...

I got this one...

14K Gold Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Polished Ring

And I toyed with this one...

14K Gold Byzantine and Diamond Accent Band Ring

and this one...

14K Gold Polished Leaf Design Bypass Ring

Had they been on EP, they'd have all come home to mama, but they weren't so I decided to let the Q keep two of them!

Nice! Smiley Happy I liked this first one too - it's better for every day use vs the doublet I ordered but this one was not on easy pay so I couldn't get it, given my other monthly payments.... Call me crazy but I actually decided to order that amazingly beautiful turquoise link bracelet.... well, I have 3 months to figure out how to pay for it, haha, plus for one easy payment I'll get it home to see if it's really worth the price.....

So, um, exactly how much jewelry DID you buy? Every time I read one of your posts something else crops up...

{#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

Let's see, the ring, the earrings, a necklace (or was it two...) and now a bracelet... and I'd bet there's even more... Now, whatever are you going to do when the "it" bag surfaces? You know, fall is prime time for beautiful handbags...

Re: As is GILI Roma 2 now available....

I sort of wish I had gotten the middle ring too, but as you say, no EP... which was a bummer. They really shouldn't have limited the EP to the most costly items... And really, there's no reason for them to have raised all their prices on these pieces across the board. Pretty clearly they were making a profit on them at the prices they were offering or they wouldn't have been offering them!

Hahaha....well, the earrings were cheap. Only $41 with free shipping so that doesn't even count! It was in exchange for my easy pay of $51 for the oryany bag that's going back Smiley Tongue Then one of the necklaces was in exchange for the overall price of the oryany bag which is going back Smiley Tongue The nugget necklace was practically free, so I had to get it and super affordable on easy pay, so practically does not count either Smiley Tongue Now, the ring and the bracelet .....they are supposed to be my 35th birthday gift.....but I may not even keep any of them if I don't like them..... and all but earrings don't arrive until November 22, so I can always cancel my order if I decide I see a bag I absolutely have to have Smiley Happy In the meantime I'm interviewing for a few positions which should either reduce my expenses or increase my income, or both if I'm lucky. So there, purse & jewelry police! Satisfied?? Smiley Wink

Well, I think the prices of rings went up by about $20, so you can always save up over 3-4 months and come back for this ring you like Smiley Happy good luck! Hahaha

Your logic is fascinating... {#emotions_dlg.laugh} Almost like a Q host... I think you better have this station deleted from your cable line-up...

So other than the turquoise necklace, what other necklace did you get... and about the turquoise bracelet, are we talking the one that was like seven hundred bills and change?

Oh and by the way, you DO know that December has more than one birthstone, right... ?
