How do you react when people ask how much your bag cost?

[eiiv]

Your friend is awesome. Too bad I don't know 3 other languages to shoo people away. But then again, I don't get many people asking me about the cost of my bag. Because I really, really, really, really don't want to tell them. There is only like maybe one friend that I am frank about it. I only really talk about my love of bags with her. The rest? Nope.

I love this!! Loud clacking noise, bellowing koala or interesting bird cracked me up!!

I have a very close friend who grew up in Greece but is fluent in 3 other languages besides Greek & English. She always dressed high end even when wearing jeans & always looks fabulously put together. She just kills me when someone asks her a question about the price of something she's wearing or carrying. She will just start rambling in Greek, French, Portuguese or Italian. The person who asked the question doesn't understand a word she says. They will usually just say ok & walk away.

It's pretty funny to watch. She has such a European look to her that people notice her & what she's wearing whether it's her clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry, ect. Her skin is amazing...she never was one to lay out for hours & tan so she doesn't have sun damaged skin like the majority of people do here in the South. She looks like she's much younger than her 63 yrs, too.

I typically give them the msrp price. I am an odd ball in that I am not offended by this question

Eh I usually don't feel uncomfortable saying the price because it is my money but if they don't know it's designer I do say the name and I do kind of pre-warn them saying "it's pricey.." before dropping the bomb. I mean we all have our own addictions and whilst I don't spend $$$ going out every weekend getting drunk, I like to save up and buy bags.

Unless it's someone I know well and they appreciate bags, I think it's terribly rude. There's a receptionist in a dr's office I go to who disapproves of expensive bags and she'll "notice" when I'm carrying a different bag and want to know what I paid. I don't tell her, and when she goes off on her rant of how much good that money would do if it went to charity, I tell her I give plenty to charity. I'd complain but she's the doctor's gf. come to think of it maybe I should complain anyway.

Oh gawd! This made my hair stand on end!

I would tell her that 1) she needs to stay quiet about any and all opinions about me and 3) she needs to tend solely to her job of checking me in. Then, I would complain to the office manager, the doctor and the office group. I'm not going to deal with someone obnoxious who should be providing pleasnt service. How crazy! If you don't give 5 cents to charity that is your business. You don't need to justify your bag with "good works". WTH?!

i sometimes think people ask that question specifically so that they can go into their specialized rants about whatever world/societal issue has sent a bug up their a**. I have learned now to give a vague response or do the embarrassed-for-you laugh and say "why on earth would you ask such a question?"

👍👏

Best response yet! Always gets to the point which is to embarrass the imbecile asking the question

no one ever asks me - it's a very rude question. If they did, I'd prop ably quickly dive under the desk.... and hide till they go away.

The only people who ever ask me are either sincere strangers (usually while shopping) or family members. Family members can go two ways, and it's hard for me to tell. Sometimes they are serious because they might want to buy one as well and want to know if it is more/less expensive where I live. Other times they are just being nosy. Either way, I think they are generally knowledgeable about the price of handbags, so I wouldn't fool anybody by evading the question.

I used to say I got a good deal, but recently I've been buying bags that never go on sale. I remember someone once telling me how they got a "great deal" on an LV bag, and all I could think was that it must have been fake! She just said it out of the blue, I definitely wasn't asking for pricing information.

I have to say I have been complimented on my bags at times and asked what brand they are but I have never ever been asked how much it cost. I would find that an odd question.

 

[innocent smilez]

I've been asked how much my bags cost, I usually just reply with, "enough." That tends to satisfy them. lol.
