I'm new to Chanel (all my other purses are LV) and I have to say I love the Chanel TPF folks. I've learned so much reading all the info and posts so thought I would submit my first thread.
I've never had a brand new Chanel, but this week ordered a black caviar mini flap from NM thanks to Yodaling's SA info! I am soooo excited to receive my first brand new Chanel! Ok now back to the topic of this thread. Prior to ordering I had been searching Ebay, reputable online consignment stores, etc. researching the different variations, prices, etc. I was shocked to find most of the minis being sold for ~$2400-$3k! These include the extra mini (currently $1650) and the new mini ($1900). I laughed when I saw their "estimated" retail prices of over $3k. These ridiculous markups don't just apply to mini flaps, but that's what I've been researching lately. I'm hoping most folks do not believe that and are doing research before buying.
I understand supply and demand and that Chanel goes up in value, but geez. It looks like some are just buying up stock so they can resell at a higher price...not cool. So thought it would be an interesting question to ask ..."How much would you pay for a mini flap"?
