Are you kidding me?!

My friend just told me that she heard the new CL python Simples that will be coming out will cost $1200. Seriously?! The roccia ones I bought just last month were around $900 at the boutiques, where I thought the price increases had already hit. Another $300? Anyone heard anything about this?
 
Someone should call and double-check with Barneys. I would but I'm at work :yucky: Maybe I'll call tomorrow. I can't imagine them costing more than the new simples- especially since the new simples have a platform and they're higher, which means more python material needed. Doesn't make sense.
 
Unfortunately I think that this is true, the 70mm Simple pythons at Barneys are now $1200. I originally thought that this high price was because of the multi-colored python (similar to the python privatita and fontanetes), I thought that the color treatment caused the python to be more expensive BUT even the black python simples are $1200 WTF?!?
