Found Fendi Handbag $5.99 Retails for $2,000!

The local Goodwill apparently doesn't recognize high end items when they get them.  I guess that is to my benefit.  I came across my greatest find to date and quite by accident.

I was feeling down.  Had a busy day at work that didn't go quite as planned.  (I was laid off in January but fortunately found a new job but at a lower salary.)  Decided to stop at Goodwill. 

Saw the handbag right away, but didn't realize it's value.  It was just a handbag that caught my eye initially.  It's in casual colors - classic Fendi denim-like fabric on the center with gold colored leather on the sides and light blue braided leather handles.  It has a built-in makeup bag in the flap that goes over to close the bag.  It has substantial silver hardware with the Fendi logo engraved on it.  Inside it has the gold nameplate with "Made in Italy" and a leather tag on the inside with the serial number.  After I saw this, I became excited!

Needless to say, I don't get real excited about seeing high end handbag names because there are a lot of fakes out there.  However, this Fendi bag is definitely authentic. 

When I went home and got online, I found that the bag retails for $2,000!
