I should also clarify for those reading this: this thread was neither intended as a joke nor to paint me as delusional. My philosophy is that I don't mind overpaying (as long as it's an item I can comfortably afford) but don't like leaving money on the table, so if discounts are to be had I want to make sure I take advantage of that. I was genuinely curious whether there was anything to the post I linked to (and if I could avail myself of it) but if it was a joke that just went over my head no big deal.

Looking for a gift for GF and am curious whether that's a place that will haggle a bit, and if so who you need to be/name you need to drop/how much you need to have spent... THanks.

If you're value-conscious, then Hermès is not for you.

I have always been curious on how much money you have to spend at a boutique before they invite you to their private sale events. I always assumed that would be the only way to get discounts at such places...

It's not a question of "value conscious" rather one of not posting more than you have to simply because you didn't know you could ask for a better price. I'm willing to pay retail (if I can afford it) when it's msrp our nothing but just like to know first.
