The best deals I've ever seen

I've written about Last Chance before (the Nordstrom "thrift store" -- Nordstrom sends all their worn returns here).

I just had to share two handbags I saw today.

Authentic Valentino for $400 (seriously...)

Gorgeous lime green LAMB bag for $90 (I *so* wanted to buy this but knew I shouldn't. I walked around the store holding it for an hour or so... and then put it back on the shelf. Sad!)

Both bags were in great condition. I wish I could start an eBay business with items like these! I am slightly addicted to this store... even if I can't buy anything, it is unbelievably fun to dig around.

Tanya, believe me, it took every ounce of self restraint in my body not to purchase the LAMB bag.

Sara -- told you I'm addicted!

Angie -- absolutely! I'm on it. Last Chance doesn't put items on hold though, so I will have to email you from the store if I see something.

Reneeb -- sure!

Where is Last Chance located?

Actually it sounds like some remote town in the Arizona desert

lol Laura!

Seriously though, this could be a very lucrative business. Why don't you go to the store one day, take some pictures, note the prices and see if these or similar items sell on ebay and how much.

Bella, I'm just scared that I'll spend a bunch of money and then won't be able to sell any of it! There is a bit of a risk... but no risk/no gain, right?

Laura, it's in Phoenix.

Last Chance sounds like it exists at the end of the earth somewhere, just before the gates of heaven.

I feel sick for you for missing out on that bag! BUT I admire your discipline.

I think you should look into an ebay business though, seriously. Besides making money, how fab would it be to help people find amazing things they thought they missed out on or couldn't afford?

Marianna, you should totally try to ebay some of this stuff. I've bought a couple of things from AZ in the past that I have a strong suspicion might have come from Last Chance.
