Black (Satin) Market
I don't need to tell you that Chanel's latest nail color, daughter-of-Vamp, "Black Satin" is sold out EVERYWHERE. What you may not know is how high the price continues to escalate on Ebay. 3 weeks ago you could "Buy It Now" for $50, but now "Buy It Now"s start at $80 and go up as high as $130. Most regular auctions are still ending upwards of $50. Crazier still is one poor Ebayer who listed the OPI knock-off for $45 (if that one sells, it surely is a sign of the Apocolypse...).

Now I know this is supposed to be a limited-edition polish, but am I being silly to hold out hope that I can get a bottle at retail when they (surely) restock?? I waited 4 months for my bottle of Vamp back in '97 or whenever that was...certainly Chanel will not sit idlely by while bottles go for 3 and 4 times retail on Ebay. Well, one can always hope... (by the way, I'm not even positive that Mischa is wearing Black Satin in this photo widely used on Ebay...it looks to have a blue sheen to it...)
