I spend between 1100-1300 a year on LV items. It breaks down like this...I either get one $700 dollar bag or in that ball park new from elux or gently used on ebay and then 3 accessories(in the 150-250 range, all accessories would be excellent condition used ebay items).
OR
I get one $700 new from elux or gently used on ebay and then one other bag, more than likely a used bag from ebay for about $450 and then I'm only getting 2 LV things that year but spending more at once rather than spreading it out, however spending less overall that year.
Basically I can't spend more than $700 a shot for a bag, otherwise I'd have to save too long for it and that's a pain and then I would for sure be only getting one LV that year. Fortunately for me the bags I like fit into my price range. The only one I may end up saving for that would be worth getting only one LV for the year, would be a neo speedy.
