Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ferrari EV

Ah, the perfect accoutrements for the Potemkin lifestyle.  

Having spent most of last week dragging a 14 year old through four Smithsonian museums before they closed due to the shutdown, I'd recommend just preserving them versus restoring them.  The truth in the artifacts is that they were for show rather than long term durability.  Selling sizzle requires finding new customers, not those that already recognize second rate quality being passed off as prime.

The way I see it, you paid $4,800 in stock value for that luggage plus will pay cap gains tax on roughly $4,250 in gains ($850 at 20%) plus refurbishing costs of $7,200 plus sales taxes so your costs will be closer to $14,000.

Or you could probably commission a passable counterfeit while enjoying a vacation in Hong Kong. 

I’m sure you did the calculations going in but that is a nice addition to your Mondial. 

Just sell the luggage separately if you ever decide to sell the car. 

Enjoy!

Oh it is garbage. Yes, insides are flaking away. Seller disclosed that in the description.

Once they arrived, I took it to a local leather shop and they gave me an honest assessment.

Quoted me $1500 per bag (hours + reline in leather material) = $7200 for the set. Plus our taxes I'd be in it for $10K....

It'll be cheaper for me to fly to the Philippines, or Vitenam, or even Indonesia. Stay for 12 to 14 days, have an awesome vacation and in the meantime, bring the bags on as cargo (and pay the exorbitant baggage fees), have all bags relined with genuine leather over there, all for a fraction of having it done here (I've already received one quote).

So much for "elbows up"...

You did well

But you will be disappointed in the luggage

Just cashed in 12 shares of RACE to pick up this set of Schedoni luggage for my Mondial T.

Book cost? $504 dollars...

Yep, not bad at all.
