What BBN said about it

  1. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe Princess of Wales loves her quilted Chanel bags, and Chanel's own website puts the black mini flap at about four thousand seven hundred dollars.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYahoo Shopping lists the same bag at five thousand two hundred. I have a source familiar with the matter, speaking from a parking garage.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSir, can you hear me?

  4. Orlo VantongerenYes. Keep your voice down. I can't confirm that, but it's about four thousand eight hundred.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat's neither number. Which price did you see?

  6. Orlo VantongerenI didn't see it. I heard it near the pillar. Somebody said four thousand nine hundred, and then an elevator opened.

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo there's a five-hundred-dollar gap between Chanel and Yahoo, and where is that money right now?

  8. Orlo VantongerenI can't confirm that, but it's about level three. Possibly under a Honda. I have the ticket, if that helps.

  9. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA ticket isn't evidence. I'd call it a pricing flexibility opportunity, and a fashion expert says she's embraced Chanel as quiet royal sophistication.

  10. Orlo VantongerenQuiet, yes. The garage is very quiet. I can't confirm the bag is.

  11. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBurgundy flap, matching fringed Tod's pumps. Did you see those?

  12. Orlo VantongerenI saw a woman in a burgundy coat once. That might be the same thing.

  13. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNot a source I'd lean on. Final price, sir: four thousand seven hundred or five thousand two hundred?

  14. Orlo VantongerenSix thousand. With overnight parking.

  15. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorVerdict: the bag has two prices and the source has none. Then the real price is whatever you paid to park next to this conversation.
