Am I smoking something to think $26,500 is a mite high for a VINTAGE box calf mini Kelly complete with tarnish on the HW? I can get one in croc for less. And this from a reasonably sane seller.

I think this is an extremely reliable seller, but many of her prices over the years have not been sane. (I have been following for a very long time.) Have you seen their website? Honestly, many prices are pretty outrageous and I feel this seller is one of the reasons why prices have become so high.

I talked to her once about a bag for my DH, which she had listed at a crazy price, and she told me it was retail price (which it wasn't). When I challenged she said she sets her prices as her consignors request. But this price for a vintage box bag is just insane!

I stopped by Century 21 the other day and saw they had a small selection of H bags. They had a mini Constance in what looked like Epsom for over $14k! And a black "B35" (pretty sure it was a B30) for 16k, and a black k28 for about 22k. It was madness.

I remember seeing a cute suede bag with fringe -- I forget which H bag it was but it was tiny. And 13K. Even the SA winced. I wonder who buys these outlet bags and where they get them. NM and Saks outlets have them too. Old bags not in terrific condition with astronomical prices.

I wonder the same things! I'm also not sure who the store is hoping to sell these bags to. People (myself included) go into Century 21 looking to score a deal on good brands, not pay double retail price for a used item!
