Price tags over $1200.00 scare me (although I expect it when I see a bag TDF). As a passionate traveler, I always think how I could have a plane ticket to somewhere fabulous for that money and I try to stay under a grand (which IMO is bad enough)!!
I think I've mentioned before that I haven't spent more than $40 or $50 bucks on a purse so far...but of COURSE the LV that I fell in love with is over $3,000!!!!! Unless I hit the lotto that's not going to happen for me. 
I'd say that right now my limit is $500. But who knows how this forum will warp me. LOL

My limit WAS $1k including tax. But then I recently bought TWO Chanels this year and went into the realm of $2090 + tax. But I've decided that I really am not comfortable going over the $1k mark unless it's an absolutely GREAT bag...

exactly.. When i shop, if i like something, i take a peek at the price and if it seems 'reasonable'
, then i get it.
I won't spend over $1500 on one bag. I think I would feel massively guilty if I did and I wouldn't be able to enjoy my bag.
Yeah, probably $1700 would be my limit too only because at the moment my dream bag is around that area.
Well, it used to be $500 but I blew the doors off that after y'all corrupted me at PF! 
. After 2 LVs, 2 IFs and a Kooba I've gone waaay past $500 5 x's now and the bar is reset to $1500...which may raise yet again if this Paddy order comes in soon!

Before I found this forum, I thought $300 for a Coach bag was a lot. Now, my limit keeps going higher and higher. So far, the most I've spent on a bag is $770, but I'm in the process of purchasing a bag from a friend for $1200. Eeekkk! LOL, my bf even got used to the increasing prices...we were looking at an YSL bag at NM the other week...I think it was $1100 and he was like "oh, that's not bad".
I don't think I could ever spend in the Hermes price range. Of course all this spending limit stuff is purely hypothetical for me right now because I'm a teenager with no source of income. I usually splurge on one expensive bag per year. Lately, however, I've been sticking to the mindframe that if I pass on a couple of $100 purses I can get save the money and get myself a nice pricey one. I'm a bit of an impulse buyer though so it's hard to resist the urge to buy, buy, buy. But I could totally drop $1200+ on the Chanel of my dreams without any guilt (if I had the cash).
