- Regular leathers which retail for 12k and resell for double (entry level birkins)
- Exotics retail for 44k and resell for double or higher*

*Even the Himalayan exotic which resells for 250-500k still retails for 44k the same as any other exotic

The point lies in attainability and until you're able to attain a 5711 at list the prices will continue to rise until they settle where the 3700 has settled around.
