Buying bags & handbags in Vancouver
Vancouver sits on the north bank of the river directly across from a much larger city in the neighbouring state, and a great many residents cross the bridges to work. It has no state income tax while its neighbour has no sales tax, which shapes local shopping habits.
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 Vancouver
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 bridges are the constraint here rather than the distance, and they congest badly at peak times, so agree which side and a realistic window. Rain is frequent, so agree a covered spot.

The shared labour market across the river means households move between the two states constantly. Outdoor equipment turns over steadily given the mountains and the gorge nearby.
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.
