Last year, you could pick an LV for around $10k. Thus, the barrier to entry is much lower. In 2017, I saw them for $8k. Thirdly, the expensive LV models have the Flat 4 bezel, which is a collectors piece. There's quite a few of those around. Yes, they are increasing in value, but your average LV wont hit 30k sterling. Flat Four bezel LVs are already knocking on that door. However, I wonder how many are selling. I see lots on Chrono24.

I'm not saying a 5712 wont hit 100k sterling. However, if buyers aren't picking them up at the mid 50k sterling mark, unless PP suddenly discontinues them, I don't see why they would for 100k.
Check current LV asking prices, you are out of date (as I was). They are much more expensive than I thought. I think this thread is not about the 3800.

How do you know nothing is selling, btw? Are you following every ad?
