Why the heck didn't the bag sell?

Vintage DOVER tapestry/carpet handbag w/bakelite handle  250173226764

Could it be because I described it as "a little musty"?  Perhaps there just isn't a market for such an old-fashioned thing... I mean, who would actually use this?  The handle's really great, though - if I were adept at such projects, I'd remove it and use it elsewhere.  I just hate throwing stuff away; this fact makes clutter, and I despise that, too!


On the other hand, this did sell:

Girl's ANNIE OAKLEY Skirt & Vest - Gail Davis Pictured! (250170098588)

This outfit wasn't in the best condition, and was musty as well, but I neglected to use that dreaded word.  The buyer hasn't left feedback or responded to my questions whatsoever, so I don't know what's going on there.  Sold for an amazing price!  Never expected it... now this was something that was definitely destined for the trash.
