			damn I really want some pencils in a box, but it doesn't justify the trip downtown or the effort of walking into coach and asking for free pencils.

The other half is the sales pressure to relieve that guiltiness by buying one of them overpriced purses   |   |   |   |      |  07-03-2009, 12:58 PM | #10 |   | I answer every Emotion with an emoticon

			from what i remember hearing.....the price of a coach bag is similar to the price of a juicy bag? while the equivalent size for a gucci or lv bag would be 5-10x the price....

			im just saying, coach being a semi "high end" label, their prices are fairly low compared to other brands given that the items are the same size, functionality, etc. thus not really being "overpriced"

			Coach's depreciation value is HUGE.    You bag won't be worth much in 6 months time....

			exactly. while an LV bag would still hold its value, if kept in good condition, a $1500 lv bag would only face a few hundred dollar loss if resold
