Lol I'm not questioning the poro part. That I always knew. I guess the rest changed. Oh well.
I don't think either of us have mentioned poro. We knew poro is more. No one is doubting that. 😄
Perhaps. here are the quote's for the 30cm
2013 quote
So it's about $53k now give or take. But for a 30.
I've heard Himalayans are difficult to produce so theoretically this means expensive. I'm inclined to say yes but not 100% sure. I'll leave it to the poro/Himalayan experts to say which costs more.
Exact quote for a 35 Poro Shiny as of today's date in the US is $61,700. Matte is definitely more, but I don't know exactly how much they have gone up since the last price increase.
I don't know if the Himalayan is more but as a general rule, different colors don't vary in price. And if they make Himalayans in Nilo (I think I remember seeing one at one point?), that would probably make it less expensive than a Poro in a solid color.
Not to discount how expensive they were in the first place, but it is truly crazy how much they've doubled in price in just a few years!

Although Nilo (even the original receipts used to indicate Nilo), Himalayans were never priced as Nilo even when first launched. They were at parity with "regular" Poro and the price, given the demand which was fuelled by all the of the talk and buzz of its "rarity", was ramped up over the years.
Thank you. Now I see why the veterans rave about you.
I agree on the crazy prices. Sigh. I'm just waiting to see how long before it triples.
Sorry to dredge this up but this is why I thought matte cost more shiny. I was afraid I was going bonkers for a sec cuz I could have sworn I read and heard such. Anyhow glad that debate is over.

I think a couple years back there's difference in matte and shiny croc, but since now the demand had increased sooooo much, H will just jacked up all the prices and there'll still be tons of followers willing to pay for it.
Ah so they're evenly priced these days? You know that as a fact? That's interesting. Oh well, lol its hermes.
As far as I know, matte is still more than shiny - and I was told this just several days ago by a SA.
It has to do with the ability of making sure the skins are perfect and it is harder to do that with matte. The process that's used to get the Croc shiny hides small imperfections.
