| | | What kind of condition is it in? Do you get much use of it? If you do intend to sell it soon, you might as well do that while it's in better condition and you can get better price. Honestly 3-year is nothing for LV's, many of my bags are more than 10 years old. I think I only have 1 or 2 bags that are less than 3 years old. |

| | | how come you want to buy a new one? usually, lv bags get more character as time passes ( the darkening of the patina) and such... but i do understand the feeling of having a spanking new one..
don't forget the price went up... |

| | | Pictures!
Also, even though prices have gone up with LVs, you really can't make money off of it if you're constantly using it. The prices only help if you do happen to not use it, keep the patina really really light, or of course the piece is a limited edition.
Used Speedys 25s usually run for about ~$250-~$325 and Speedy 30s run for about ~$350-$400. Of course it depends on the condition, but if you're lucky you'll get more than that.
Any scratches? What about the patina & dirt? |

| | | Well, I think if you're up for the new one and have the extra money for the difference, then I'd say definately sell yours to your cousin and get the new one.

| | | A new one is $595 now. If the condition of yours is good, is it worth paying almost $200 for a new one (before tax!)? You can get a cles with the money. Originally I thought you meant buying something new in different style. |

| | | why would you want to sell an older bag and get a newer one that is the same? If the bag is still in great shape, and you want to have one just like it, then just keep the one you have.
