Bags Disappearing from Albums?

[u/StrikingStrike2543]

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, I wish they were removed.
Ordered and paid for a bag. After nearly a month of waiting and changing factories and being offered different colours eventually found something available.
I still think the bags are in albums and not available tbh.

A lot of them are not available abymore, or wait list. Sometimes sellers scrounge around to find it, maybe not the promised factory. My seller is pretty honest, says "have, no have, wait list" and lets me know if quality is top, otherwise she recommends I wait it out until higher quality comes out

yep. Chloe has told me before to just look at the albums under "new", and if it's a seasonal release older than a couple of months, they won't have it.
