Buying bags & handbags in Baton Rouge
Baton Rouge is the state capital and a major petrochemical centre on the river, with the state’s flagship university and a tall art deco capitol building that is the highest in the country. Humidity here is constant.
A bag is easy to carry and easy to assess, so it suits a face-to-face sale better than almost anything else. Buyers want to feel the weight of the leather and open every pocket, and thirty seconds of that answers more than a dozen photographs.
What to check in person
Check the corners, the strap attachment points, the zip action and the lining, in that order. Corners go first on a bag that has been used properly, and a lining that has torn away from the seam is a repair rather than a defect.
Collecting it in Baton Rouge
It fits in a bag, so most people meet on the way to something else. A station or a high street works, and neither side needs a car.
Driving is assumed and the river bridges are the main constraint on cross-city trips. Game days congest the whole area around the campus, so check the schedule.

Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.
