My limit depends on the bag and it's materials. That said, I can't imagine spending more than $10,000 on a bag and that would only be after my kids' college was fully paid for, all of my retirement accounts were completely maxed out, I'd donated a ton to charity and I could find absolutely nothing else to invest money in. There are way to many hungry kids in the world to allow myself to spend huge amount of money without thinking twice about it.
What is the most that you'd spend on a handbag?

I don't think I would spend more than $1000 on a bag. I'm at a place now where I could afford it, but I just don't think I can do it. I'm old enough to remember when spending over $100 was a "big deal." (I'm not sure what that equals too with inflation, but I'm guessing around $300?)
I do notice myself thinking of bags that are under $1000 as "not too expensive" in my mind which would have been unthinkable just a few years ago, but as far as actually handing my cash over for one... well it would have to be a pretty awesome bag.

It's in excellent condition. I can't post an Please Authenticate post because I'm a new member. I only have 8 days left to get this darn bag authenticated here. The refund policy is return only if fake in 14 days. *sigh* how soon will someone approve my privileges on purseforum yikes!!
Is it of good, as new condition?
I recently bought a new m/l caviar GHW for 3100 from Europe. I believe it's $4400USD. In Australia, where I'm from, a brand new one would be $5290AUD.
So in that context, depending on where you're from, $3500 can be a pretty good deal, as everything is just so marked up!!
I just purchased a Chanel tote and spent over $3600 which even I find ridiculous HOWEVER it is my Holy Grail so I just had to splurge this once LOL although I have spent $2000 previously...
OMG, I was telling my teenage daughter just the other day about when I bought a leather bag at Penney's many years ago for $65.00 (!!) that I returned it because I thought I spent to much !! ( I am waiting for my first Gucci to get here ...which i bought in sale mind you) IA, I can afford better now but if I could afford "more better" I'm not sure if I would. I'd rather get two $1000 bags than one for $2000.
I thought my cutoff was 2k, but I recently bought a Chanel at $3100! That's my cutoff, I think lol!

The most that I have personally spent on a bag is $1600, however I own a bag that cost $2400 a gift from my husband. I use to think that anything over $700 was absolutely ridiculous and that was not too long ago.
Since I just graduated college and I'm still continuing my studies, my budget is extremely limited. I don't work part-time anymore, so my parents pay for everything. The most I've ever spent on a handbag is $300. Even though it was for a bag I really loved, I felt really guilty. I don't think I could exceed that amount anytime soon.
