Buying bags & handbags in Escondido
Escondido sits inland in a valley north of a major coastal city, with a substantial agricultural history in citrus and avocados and a well-known wildlife park nearby. It is hotter than the coast and largely residential.
WishThrift does not authenticate anything, so on designer pieces the buyer’s own inspection is the whole of the evidence. Being able to examine stitching, hardware and stamps at length, and ask the seller directly, is worth far more than any listing.
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 Escondido
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 essential and the valley is easy to move around with generous parking. Summer heat inland is considerably worse than on the coast, so agree a morning slot.

Say where and when you bought it and what came with it, rather than making claims about the bag itself, and let the buyer draw their own conclusion. Photograph the inside as well as the outside, including the base. 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.
