Certainly true. There are very nice designer handbags for a fraction. Even if you think the $300-500 brands aren't good enough (Coach, Marc, Kate Spade, etc), there are even more in the $800-1200 range (Louis Vuitton, for one..)
I know this because I have a wife with tastes for such things :)
- beambot 13y agoThen you should have her check out Lollipuff (YC W13): designer auctions pre-screened by experts for authenticity (ie. eBay without the fakes). It also amazes us. Why would people pay full price when the "lightly used" ones sell for 80% off? *Disclaimer: Am a founder of Lollipuff.
- consonants 13y agoI'd wager it's the same reasoning people buy new cars or new consumer electronics.
- beambot 13y agoAnd what is that reasoning? Unlike cars and electronics, many designer goods hold their value over time, and some even appreciate.
- encoderer 13y agoFWIW, my wife was delighted when I sent her to Lollipuff yesterday. She thinks it's a great idea. I guess one thought is that I don't know if I would ever gift her a used bag. Even if I trusted the source (which has always been a deal breaker before). But her buying for herself, I can see her definitely purchasing something previously owned.
