On the Dan Patrick show they said that purse cost $41,000. He may have gotten it on sale though.
if you're spending $40k+ on a gold man-purse don't you actively try to avoid the sale? i mean, when you're at the point of stunting on how much you [can] spend on something entirely frivolous like a giant bright colored man-bag doesn't a sale defeat the purpose of spending $40k+?
the great unwashed like you and me might like to show off our intelligence via thriftiness by being like "oh yeah i got [thing] on sale [for $$$ / at location]" but at the other end of the spectrum don't you wanna avoid sales in much the same way that "we" look for sales? if you catch a deal on a $41k man-purse for only $37k or something doesn't that kinda hurt the whole image you're trying to purvey by spending big $$$ in the first place?
this question compels me to remember a friend who worked hard and got his dad to help out with financing a new mitsubishi galant back in the day... $23k after taxes. he was dating a chick affectionately referred to as "the jessicunt" who had the harry-style "fatha" syndrome going on; so once he got that car she was like WTF!?!? and got her daddy to buy her a new acura integra... and i'll never forget the smile on her face as she bragged to us that it cost
$26k after taxes cuz she had this pathological need to not only drive a car that cost more than my friend's, but also to let everyone and their mother know that it cost more too. people will do goofy things to validate themselves... most likely to themselves!
suffice to say that relationship didn't last the test of time and i'd run into the girl a few years later outside of the blue note and she had lost so much weight / had so much work done that i almost-literally had to do a double take at the fact this chick used an unholy combo of science/technology to whittle a seemingly-banging-body and pretty-to-someone face out of the glob of blah that she had been during my friend's relationship with her. this ended up being a fitting metaphor for what kind of effort/s it would take to try and convince you that there was an attractive girl there.
of course, when i ran into her she had this grin on her face like she was counting on me to run back to my friend like "dude i just ran into jessica and she's totally hot now!" cuz i caught an aloof vibe like even years later she still wanted to "defeat" her old boyfriend at the game of life. #ididntdoitforher
