Nate Tilley has been trying to buy a Hermes Birkin for two years. The store tells him the wait is three to five years. He gets escorted to a private collection by a "Birkin bouncer" and leaves with a cliffhanger about what happened next.
Three to five years.
Two years.
$34,000 (from the title).

I enter Hermes, and I'm only looking for one thing. I'm looking for this bag. I've been trying to buy this Birkin bag for my wife for two years.
We don't have any stock available at the moment. The wait is, like three to five years.
I flashed my Rolex to see that we changed their mind, and then this happened.
But I'm more than happy to show you some pieces from our private collection.
The Birkin bouncer then takes me upstairs, which is heavily guarded by security, and shows me their most exclusive pieces.
These are our heritage collection and very timeless pieces.
Yeah.
Beautiful.
Mayonnaise don't sell handbags. They sell status. By making you play Burk and bingo, they turn shopping into a test of loyalty. And just 30 minutes after leaving the store, this happened.
