Did a little digging - when that bike was released by Chanel it listed for *only* £6,200 so the mark up from 2007 to now is itself incredible.....and I can't imagine many got sold.
On the other hand, according to "the Purse Blog" (I kid you not - I'd never have known without Google) these bikes were considered pretty hot...."This
Limited Edition Chanel Bike is the ultimate in two-wheeled novelty. With only 50 made and less than 20 available in the US, this creation retailed for $17,000, with reseller markups hitting
$28,000 already." At least even the purse people thought it a bit over the top: "My opinion? No, thank you. Ridiculously overpriced novelty item, reserved for a few selected collectors who do not know what to do with their disposable income."
