How much is your handbag collection worth?

[fayden]

This doesn't count the ones you've sold or given away, etc. Only applies to the ones you still have in your possession. Give us a Ball park number and also include how many bags you have! Hope this wasn't a thread in the past, and if you don't want to share because it's insane, that's ok, but i'm sure i'm not the only one that's curious!

btw, i keep a tally, and i will post mine when i get home... promise.

Um, I'm too afraid to actually tally. :shame:

I'll have to take a calculator with me to the closet -- no telling my husband the answer!

Fayden,
This is a hard question! It's hard because I do not remember how many designer bags I owe and don't have a calculator nearby. However, I do think my bag collection is worth somewhere between $6,000-8,000 (U.S). I take good care of my bags, even the ugly ones.

You kind of got me thinking about what is the most expensive bag in my collection. Perhaps, I may do a post on that topic.

I feel the same way Suli. If I total I may go into shock and not buy another for a few months and I don't want to ruin the economy.

Couldn't possibly remember, I have 5 closets in the house!.... Alot of tiny bags though. I am petit.

I don't actually know.. cause half of my bag is bought by my parents.. and my bag collection is very fluid since I trade bags with my mom.. I love her stuff so much. I really want to "GET", not trade, one of her Hermes, since I don't think I can trade with anything that I have now hahaha...

Well, I'm a bag collecting amature, so I'd say under 2000$ CAD (phew!)

Hopefully number will soon grow though !

 

[fayden]

ok my turn. finally home. 8 bags in my collection, worth 7500.

I have no idea where to start the tally Just the ones in my room have a total purchase price of over $20,000 (USD) though. Probably around 15 bags in here. I have a bunch in storage, I don't even want to know what it would all add up to

 

[esiders]

How do you tally the number...based on what you paid or the current resale value?

 

[fayden]

that's a good questions esiders. i just tally on what i paid for it. so it could be actually worth more but since they are used, i would think the value goes down, unless it is vintage. none of my bags are vintage, i think it needs to be ten years old to quality as vintage right? so i just go with what i paid for... =)

 

[Issmom]

Interesting, but not surprising, that most of us (me included!) did not actually answer the question....

 

[Noriko]

^^^its a tough question, and too much work to actually give a full answer

I did the tally of my partial based on what I paid for it. I have no idea what the exact resale value is for any of my bags.

 

[Issmom]

For me its more a question of...."Do I really want to know the answer myself? How am I going to feel about that number? Lord knows its higher than I likely ever expected."
