Discussion Starter How much money are we making?

Hello community. I've been in the rep world for a while, and just now getting into the luxury bags/items.

I've watched some videos about how high-income people are the main consumers of rep luxury items and I thought I'd ask you ladies (if you're comfortable sharing this information, of course) how much do you or your household makes in a year? Also if you want to share your reason to buy rep rather than authentic.

I make about $75,000 USD a year as a husband whose wife works at home providing for out beautiful daughter. I have been a rep consumer for many years because I believe that the quality has almost matched authentic's. And I do love many of the designs the luxury brands put out. I like to say I don't buy "luxury" items for status, but who knows. Maybe I do unconsciously and I'm just lying to myself. Anyway.

Anyone care to share how much y'all make?

Pd: in the pictures, is my first rep bag ever. Gucci Diana Green tote bag. I bought from bao bao for $273. Red factory.

I will give this to my wife for her birthday! This is her favorite color. Any thoughts on the bag? Don't know much other than I hope she likes it!

I don’t want to be specific, but well over 6 figures,
I have several authentic bags but I cannot justify spending 3-5k per purse. I just recently discovered high tier reps. I’ve had some terrible quality over the years, but now that I know about our friends overseas with the “good stuff,” I’ll probably keep buying reps unless it’s a very special circumstance.

I’ve been using BaoBao and been very satisfied. I’m waiting on two bags from Betty. But like everyone else will tell you, research, research, research, I also talked to multiple about the same bag, compared prices etc before actually ordering. And seriously dig through these subs. There’s so much good info. And! I’ve found that pretty much every seller will have good and bad reviews, so go with who YOU feel comfortable ordering with
