Original Message:   Need advice about vintage (but damaged) beaded purses

I've had these two beaded purses/bags for ages. I was going to take them apart for the beads. Then I searched for the beaded purse, and WOW, the prices are super high. But these bags are pretty damaged. Holes, rotted cord, rusted metal & rusted metal beads. I think the small bag is so damaged, I feel okay taking it apart for the beads. But I'm on the fence about the beaded purse. (Three holes.) Prices for "like new" listings range from just under $100 to $350+ I think all the beads are there, but I don't know if it's worth selling or not? Is it too selfish fo me to just take it apart?? I'd appreciate any feedback/thoughts from the bead experts here. Thank you!!! Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
