I know it was at least $1000, maybe as much as $1200-$1300? I bought one recently, but from ebay, and I did look up the price as elux happened to still have one then, but I don't remember exactly what it was. Sorry!
How, I definitely scored with my ebay purchase! I only paid $600, and it looks brand new. I carried it yesterday and it is so elegant-looking. LOVE the mat black!
