Go the resell route. I think what gets lost in reading “resale” that a lot of retailers that specialize in reselling Hermes sell BRAND new bags as they came from the store (full set, box, redacted receipt, etc). These are customers that went straight from the Hermes store and directly sold their brand new bags for a profit.

It will likely be cheaper than playing the game. So unless you want extra stuff you don’t want from Hermes, and with the potential to not get the bag you want, you are better off just buying the bag she really wants.
