[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband didn't even notice them in the divorce. They were "beneath" his notice

I just sold like 10 of them for 70K cash, my ex's earlier professional partner flew up from Palm Beach with her husband to have me clean out my closet. They took boxes and sleepers.

Like actual cash in five thick envelopes full of 100s plus a fat check. No profits over time, but I did just sell them for within 20% of what I paid 20+ years ago.

Hermes kellys and birkins

I used to keep them for a financial anchor in the future, today has turned out to be the future.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t buy it. You don’t some the kind of money it takes to acquire 10 Hermes bags without your husband noticing.[/quote]
OP didn't say he didn't know, she said he overlooked the value of the bags. He might not have not that these things hold value.[/quote]
I understand, I’m just saying I don’t believe that. I promise I know what my wife’s Hermes bags are worth and I’d never ignore them in a divorce.[/quote]

I know two women who were so desperate to get out that they didn't fight for any financial stability for themselves. One has struggled over the years--she lives in a very rural area, she could buy a house cheap but opportunities were otherwise limited. The other had a  decent white color job but lives in fear her wealthy ex will try to cut off her access to their son, and keeps her relationships very secret on that account. I know another who spent two years buying furniture and stocking up on household supplies she kept in a storage unit (telling her husband groceries and things just kept going up when he questioned her spending) so when she left she at least had everything she needed to set up her own household.

I'm guessing OP didn't buy them solely as an anchor, she probably used them. Or maybe she didn't have much latitude in what she could spend money on to begin with. [/quote]
