Any ideas on how much they mark up the Birkins? Is it akin to the markups seen on eBay or a bit better? I'd love to get my hands on a Birkin but I don't know if I'll have any luck at Hermes :(

well these are pre-owned (some might have been new - they looked it) i believe, so can't really compare to prices of new by resellers, which are crazy high, and i didn't check them all, but it looked like the prices for the pre-owned were just a little shy of current retail for a brand new one. like there was a kelly for 5k. some posters say her prices are up there, but it's always worth a call, right.
 
HiHeels....I spoke with a really nice guy on the phone over the weekend and he did mention the Kelly for $5K. I wonder if they negotiate a little? He also mentioned a 28cm Rust box Plume for $3,500 which I THINK is the same one they have on eBay right now for $3K and it's 6 years old....:shocked:

hmm, i don't know. maybe the 3500 is the "buy it now" price. what is the leather? maybe pm LZ for tips on expressing interest in a lower price.
 
fisch has had a very tired looking, (well worn, to me, means "very ill")lonely, sad, 28 plume in the left hand corner of her display case for quite some time. I do remember, years ago, this bag was rediculously priced. i dont know, i feel like the sad bag needed its dignity given back before being allowed out of her home...
 
a few days ago I went to look at the selection of birkins,...quality was ok, but they all look at least a little used, definitelly pre-owned.
the price ranges were starting at $ 9000-11500 for togo leather, I did not have time to look at the kelly or plume bags, (spent too much time on cheking out the birkins and the store was closing). The nice thing is you get to see/touch them before you buy, the down side is they are a little too expensive for the used quality. I prefer to wait and buy from hermes, but IF I were to buy from a reseller I would want to be able to look at the bags first, so this was good.:flowers:
 
I agree with Otingocni! Those prices are WAY too high for a preowned Birkin in togo! That is just ridiculous! You can find a new birkin on ebay through a reputable seller for about the same thing or less!
 
agree famously with all of you
her bags are rediculously priced and the way they are set up makes them unimportant looking. piled up, dusty, etc.
These bags deserve respect, and an honorable home, if even not permanent. Very distasteful...jsut my opinion.
