I just saw this Bella on ebay and they are asking more than it costs to purchase it new?! Isn't the retail $2,300 right now?

Or maybe this isn't Bella?

THat's a Bella and what a rip off!! Retail is somewhere around $2300 - 2400.

Good detective work Lucy!

This post is probably pointless as I don't have details on the bags but Saks NY has some of their stock 30% off today.

If anyone's interested, I can provide the BV SA's contact info.

The nero bella on BV's website is over 3K...unless it's my glasses and I'm reading it incorrectly.

Mid- · Nov 5th, 2009, 01:08 PM

Oy, when did it go up? The bella is now 3,680usd??

CDNinNYC · Nov 5th, 2009, 01:15 PM

That's a crazy increase if the previous price was $2300-2400!

jburgh · Nov 5th, 2009, 01:38 PM

^ I can't believe my eyes (running to check last years catalog)

LLANeedle · Nov 5th, 2009, 04:04 PM

Good to know it's not my failing eyesight. I wonder if it's a mistake? I know it was 2K something last year because it was on my radar. I'll email the website.....when they misnamed the nero campana last month they were appreciative to be alerted to the mistake and corrected it immediately.

I am almost positive that's what I was told when I was looking at one at NM. I am going to check.

mariabdc · Nov 5th, 2009, 05:05 PM

could it be a different size/trimming? or maybe a mistake on the website?

i am obsessing about the knots i saw at BV on Tuesday...

kroquet · Nov 5th, 2009, 05:19 PM

Wow, that would be one huge price increase. Did anyone notice the Ferro Sloane on the site? Looks gorgeous, but I am so happy that nothing is screaming at me.
