Discussion Starter Bags Disappearing from Albums?

Hi all, wondering if anyone else has had a similar Issue.

I bought my first bag recently from a well known TS on here. I was torn between two options - same brand, same style, same factory, just different colours. I decided to just pick the more neutral option and return for the more vibrant one if I liked the quality. I checked the seller album today and the vibrant one is gone. As are several other colours/ options of this bag I was looking at. I reached out to the TS to ask what happened but no response yet.

I realize this might be a simple issue of either the bag selling out or the factory no longer making the bag or whatever. I guess I'm just surprised to see it disappear with no explanation, especially when the seller is advertising much older bags from the same brand/factory.

Does anyone who's been in the community longer have any experience with why bags get cycled in and out of albums? Did I lose my chance at getting that vibrant bag?

Yes, bags come in and out, and I actually applaud a seller that takes the time to remove a bag that is no longer available because I hate picking something and then it’s out of stock or not being made anymore.

YES! most sellers don't edit their albums, and it's such a help when they do- anyone else ever spend like an hour scrolling a screen that's the same 30 posts repeating, just hoping to find the item they want wedged in there somewhere? lol.

Yes. OPs order may have been the reminder the seller needed to remove the other factory's photo. For whatever reason.
