"why the hell do they ask this much $$$ for it"... and he was genuinely impressed.
LOL - if it helps you sleep better thinking that, sure.
I think I can speak with some authority (male, whose wife thinks I support and appreciate her spending choices), what he was REALLY thinking was more along the lines of...
"Gods above, she's totally in to this and there is clearly no well in hell I'll be able to talk any reason in to her head. Might as well just roll with it to avoid an argument."
Spending > $100 on a handbag makes no sense whatsoever, regardless of any factors, at all, ever, period. Even that's a stretch. No straight guy will ever think so.
$400!?!? Yikes! Not even MY wife would spend money so frivolously, and she's made some pretty batty decisions with her income!
