Buying bags & handbags in Fort Collins
Fort Collins sits at the foot of the mountains with the state’s land grant university, a brewing industry of national significance and a preserved old town that was the model for a theme park main street. Cycling here is genuinely part of ordinary life.
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
Load it with something heavy and carry it a few paces, since a strap that digs in or a handle that twists only reveals itself under weight. Work every zip both ways and check the pulls, which are expensive to replace properly.
