well, I think mine was the Calcaire City I won yesterday from tnc on ebay. I have been wanting one forever as you all know. I got it for $499 and even though she has been previously loved and restored, I dont care. It makes her that much more special to me. corny I know. I cant wait to get it! woo hoo!

Hi all....I got my 05 bordeaux first on e-bay a month ago for $650!!! It's perfect except it came with no sleeper or extra tassels but I don't care. I love her so much and get such joy out of carrying her.

As for the deals question. I haven't gotten any fantastic deals, but I think my '04 White with silver hardware was a pretty good deal @ 900.

My best deal so far is a good condition 05 black First for $700 from a friend.
