wait calling french people smelly makes me a racist? Even the French guy agreed with me the Paris metro stinks. Funny, I tried to buy a 355 challenge for about 80k, missed out on it. Ended up with the old man 550, still like em even though they're Grand Tourers. I plan to use it as intended. Will share a pic when its ready, thanks for the link to the leather!
What cracks me up with suits, we had sawgrass mills an hour outside miami and it was this giant mall where all the big brands had outlets. The saks/neiman outlets would do 2 for 1 sales on kiton suits from $8,000 each to $2,000 for 2 and tell you how great a deal you were getting. Do people really pay $8,000 for cloth?
I'm not familiar with suits in that price range but I'm sure there's gotta be some top of the line stuff around that amount. I mean people pay $10k for a purse so why wouldn't a suit cost 8k?
Ya but the purses you’re talking about are made of special materials, a Birkin is hard to get, I had to jump through so many hoops to get my wife one a while back, I feel like getting a Ferrari supercar is easier than getting your first birkin lol. Still though those suits are worthless when neiman goes from $16,000 for 2 to $2,000 at the outlet. That will never happen with an in demand purse those surprisingly appreciate, my wife always sells her junk on posh mark when she’s done and she sometimes ends up making money with purses I can’t even believe it but sometimes people in small cities can’t get things she was able to find in Miami.
The point I was trying to make is there are suits also made of the finest materials that push to $8k if not more. You won't be making money or getting much back on a used suit, at least as far as I know, but there's expensive stuff out there for any category.
Guess you have a short memory. Oh yeah, the guy you said sucks himself? I've noticed this is not the first time posts have gone over your head. But you said they were too "old man" before. What changed? Did you experience accelerated aging these past 6 months? So you still playing Monty Hall I see.
Last time I checked the dissemination of factual information doesn't make one a racist. Look at the frogs sentences. Inhale the stench of the great unwashed. You will soon realize what I know Paul. Correct Paul, over the past year I have gotten older and now am old man enough to drive the 550, though my heart was set on a challenge car under $100k , I’ll take the v12 for under $50k any day of the week.
You do know calling a Frenchman a frog is a slur, right? Or maybe they don't teach you young fellas how not to disrespect others. D
It’s more a term of endearment these days. Might be the only thing non offensive to people now a days.
Well, I know nothing of the debate or the F-Chatter in question, but: - taking the tube in Paris everyday, and especially during these weeks, with 38°c (about 100° f) forecasted again for next week, and no A/C in the tube, it certainly doesn't smell the rose, indeed...but, for me, commuting everyday with exactly 7 minutes in the morning in one direction (five stations) seven minutes return in the evening, its "bearable", shall we say. Admittedly it depends on which line you have to ride also, as some are worse than others, i.e, much more crowded; try the #13 line at 8:45 or 18:00, for instance. And of course, from April to October, depending on the hour of the day, you might have actually more tourists than french people in the tube; in which case it might be the french that smell...or not. - I honestly and sincerly don't mind the slightest being called a frog; or a froggy, or whatever related to frogs; and I don't consider myself insulted at all. And you might indeed still find frog's thighs on the menus of some restaurants (we are not chinese, we do not eat the whole frog, only the legs: so in french it is "cuisses de grenouille", frog's thighs) but it is not that usual nowadays. Except in the regions were they are traditional, because these regions had many swamps and the frog's legs were usual food for many persons there (les dombes, for instance: around Bourg-en-Bresse). And it taste fine, by the way: not suprisingly, a cross between chicken and fish. In many countries there are stereotypes expressions used to designate inhabitants of another country. Many of these sound rather dated; saying that the french do not wash themselves and do not smell nice was a stereotype during the forties and the fifties, probably because there were many old houses without a true bathroom, but honestly I do not think that it is still true today. So many F-Chatter in this thread might have a grudge with the O.P, as I seem to understand but this frenchman, as a French, does not. France will therefore remain neutral. Rgds
Because Hermes is the last luxury brand that is family owned, and that they do not want to dilute its value by expanding too much. Of course they are manufacturing more than they did in the past, but still they are nowhere manufacturing enough to satisfy the demand for many of their products, including most of their line of bags. If you want a Birkin in a precise dimension and color, and if that one is not already available, its simple: you have to wait. There is no way to jump the turn. Whenever they have excess of Something, they have a sytem of rotation between the countries and shops for allocation. Which, by the way, is the exact definition of luxury: something that you crave for and cannot afford. If you can afford it, then it is not luxury anymore. "I always built one car less than the market is asking for" Enzo Ferrari. There has been studies made about the "Birkin index", which show that this bag is, in the medium to long term, a better investment than stock market or gold. But people want them because they are beautiful, not for speculation, right? https://www.collectorsquare.com/sacs/hermes/birkin/sac-a-main-hermes-birkin-30-cm-en-crocodile-niloticus-rouge-geranium-356539.html?countryCode=WW¤cyCode=EUR&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjOHX--O-4wIVT0HTCh2Itwt9EAQYASABEgKvTvD_BwE We should always remember that Oscar Wilde once said: "There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it."

I know, Paul. I was posting in the same spirit. Next time he comes over here, I will take him to a restaurant and invite him to good lunch of frog's thighs. This thru the tube. And I will take a shower before. Rgds
I would disagree with one part of ur statement: France will therefore remain neutral That’s for Switzerland Us French wave the white flag Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
dictionary.com would disagree with you. No matter, something tells me literally referencing the dictionary won't change your view. You be you.
I've been to France many times, It's still not even close to how bad my transit station is. I guarantee that. You will soon realize what I know 1italiantrash. Easy brother, if you aged that much in 1 year, you must be burning the candle from both ends. At this rate, you'll be 6 feet under in another year. Ease up my friend. Agreed, in fact I got a V12 Ferrari a couple months ago for 44K. Except instead trying to beat Austin Powers' title of "International Man of Mystery" - I shared the details with the community.
hahaha thanks Matt. The one thing that makes this thread fun is at least 1italiantrash admits he's a troll so that we can be juvenile. I've always liked the jokers. — all good. Just suppress that adult voice in you that laments the deeper implications of a person that would troll a forum. It's a sad situation that makes the laughter and ridicule less enjoyable; some folks are just born lifelong clowns I guess. I mean we have to run into folks on the wrong side of the bell curve eventually.

The best time was during the great recession, I was selling Birkins every week. Have not seen the market recently.
