£2400 Aftershave... ;)

It was the star buy at Harrods - they knock 90% off of something special on the last day and I managed to get it. It was the only one and the cardboard box is slightly battered at the back. I don't think you can get it anywhere else for that price as far as I can see.

Wow, great deal.
Yeah
As I said - definitely worth a punt at that price! Apparently you can only get it at Harrods in the UK and I think you can buy the last few remaining bottles somewhere in the middle east (Dubai I think) but other than that, they are all gone.

Sell it? Dawg, ill give you 10% of the 10% so i can save on your save. Wait, what?
Still.... there's only 400 made - you can guarantee some muppets/footballers (same thing IMO) and such overpaid types will use it, cases will get scratched, knocked etc.
At the end of the day, 50 years down the line there may only be 50-100 intact ones around, some Bugatti fans will be daft enough to pay!
I think it's a well smart case - Not my thing, but better than most "arty" rubbish like this that you see.

Well, that's the going rate for the good ones in Mayfair these days , I'm told
My thoughts exactly! There will always be someone somewhere willing to pay for something like that - you just have to find them!!

IMO i think at 20% it's worth a punt also. However as posted before if it is being sold at that price now it hints at which way price is going...
It's not being sold at that price now - it was a one off at Harrods. It was the last remaining one they had - the cardboard box was slightly battered at the back and they knocked 90% off of it for one of the one off 90% off items that they do a couple of times during each sale - I was just lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time!
The assistant actually said that they ran out of them a couple of months ago and was waiting to sell the sub standard slightly battered one in the sale
Go on then, enlighten us..

that is crazily expensive! hope that you get your money back eventually!
That was probably the "Multiple" Edition, which is chrome-plated rather than gold-plated, and currently 1800 Euros.
Steve_c's is the "Prestige" Edition; currently 2800 Euros according to the website.
Speaking as someone who collects fragrances and is into cars, I've known about these particular pieces for a while. Never ever thought I'd see one appear in OcUK GD
Great deal, Steve - you now have your very own 'Sex Panther'
[Incidentally, if you really do want to smell like an old Bugatti - and who wouldn't - try Santa Maria Novella's Nostalgia
