I called my local store today, got nowhere then called another. I called an SA I knew from another store last year. We were chatting for a good 10 minutes and then he said the bags shipped 4 days ago. Long story short, he said he would pre sell on the 7th. He never mentioned the price increase until I brought it up. Unreal. It seem's they don't want to give up these new bags at the current price (especially the white I'm looking for which are rare). Then all of a sudden the phone went dead. I called back. The phone operator said he was with another client....it was a minute later. I asked if he could call me back, he never did.
So I called another store which was going to be my last call and she said they will be getting 2 ivory chevron jumbo's.
I said the price is $5,500 right? She said yes. I gave her my information, she will send pic's when the bag arrives and if I like it will ship. So we shall see. I now have one reserved, I'm done. I'm leaving it up to the "heavens"....


Why can't they just be up front for $400.00? I would respect it.

Sorry for the rant.
