Buying bags & handbags in Mobile
Mobile is a deep-water port on the bay with the oldest carnival celebration in the country, a shipbuilding and aerospace manufacturing presence, and a great deal of preserved antebellum and Victorian architecture. Hurricanes are a real annual consideration.
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
Turn out the pockets and feel along the base for a sagging or broken board, which is what makes a bag lose its shape for good. Look at the hardware for plating worn back to base metal, and smell the lining for damp or smoke.
Collecting it in Mobile
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.
The older districts have narrow streets and limited parking, so confirm where a vehicle can stop. Carnival season closes large parts of the city, so check the calendar.

Shipbuilding and aerospace employment runs on contract cycles, and the old housing stock brings genuinely old furniture onto the market. Hurricane seasons clear out porch and garden furniture on a regular basis.
Photograph every stamp, serial tag and piece of hardware close up, because that is what a careful buyer studies first. Give the three dimensions and the strap drop, and state whether it stands unaided or slumps. Steady through the year, with a lift in autumn as people move back to structured bags.
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.
