Would you buy a Birkin bag for $10,000,000?

To be honest, I had no idea what a "Birkin Bag" was. I found out Jane Birkin made purses. The ten mill. bag was an original "Hermes", OHHHH!!!!!!!! And the thing is a used purse. Even if you had the money, would you spend it on a purse.
BTW, for those who are budget conscience, you can get a Birkin "Hermes" for only $470,000 on eBay, but it's not an original.

The buyer is the owner of some major reselling business. It’s just a token symbol. $10 million plus fees is a drop in the bucket and he got lots of advertising from this.

And for the record, I personally think the bag is ugly as sin. What would I pay for it? Maybe $40 if I really needed a new purse.
Once I found a new, good knockoff for about that price. I hated the design so wouldn’t even part with $40.

I don't believe Jane Birkin actually makes purses; I believe this line was named after her. I'm too tired to Google it right now.

But no, there is no way I'd pay that much for a bag, even if I had that kind of money, which I don't.

It reminds me of a catalog for high-end children's clothing I got in the mail once. The cost of a white shirt for a toddler (white! for a toddler!) was something like $50. No way.
