WHAT’S
A GOOD PRICE FOR A LOUIE?
New
LV bag prices start in the hundreds of dollars
and go up from there. The prices usually increase
each year on several items. For current prices,
you need a price list, or call Louis Vuitton. The
web site (www.eLUXURY.com) sells authentic firsthand-LV
goods. They are owned by Louis Vuitton.
Don’t
wait around for Louis Vuitton to hold a President’s
Day or Christmas sale. It won’t happen! Whether
you buy your bag today or tomorrow, the price will
be the same.
Due
to tariffs and other costs, prices do vary from
country to country, but will be the same at authorized
retailers within that country. As with most articles
of value, the older, rarer and better kept an item,
the higher the resale value. This is no different
for collectible Louis Vuitton.
You
will see that when a limited number of LV items
are produced, those items will often yield higher-than-retail
prices in auction. LV products usually maintain
a very decent resale value. To someone in the world,
even the most dilapidated and abused LV goods have
value.
See
what similar items are going for and who is buying
them. Collectors are good gauges for fair market
prices. However, prices typically depend on who
wants the item the most, affordability and luck
in finding the right auction at the right time.
THE
SEARCH FOR LOUIS VUITTON
When
looking for LV on the internet, remember that
some people do not know the correct spelling
(which is a shame), so you might find it under
other spellings such as: viton, vitton, viutton,
viuton, LV (this one will get you a lot of Vegas
hits), vittan, vitan, vouitton, vouton, voutton,
vutton, and any other variations you can conjure.
On second thought, maybe you want to stick with
the people who at least know how it is spelled.
I’m sure there is a lesson in there, somewhere.
