Nothing that comes from audi is priced anywhere near the actual price. Thing probably costs $50 to make.

If that wasn't so ridiculous it would be funny. If anyone is thinking about it, I'll sell you my laptop bag, complete with custom Audi rings, for half the price. Hell, make it a quarter of the price.

I doubt it even costs THAT much.

However, as to the original question...

Take into account that it:
is "Constructed from the finest leather," AND "provides optimal protection from dust and scratches." Also "it includes a padded inner lining made of high-quality Nardia microfiber." (whateveah THAT is) PLUS "The main compartment fits 15-17-inch laptops while the second compartment hold everything from pens and business cards to a mobile phone or PDA." And, one last thing is that it "also includes a removable carrying strap with shoulder pad."

Only then are you able to honestly determine that, HECKY-NAWL! This thing ain't worth $999. $29.99, MAYBE. $999, uh-uh

It's the removable carrying strap that makes it so expensive. Those things are pretty hard to make don't ya know!

See what they don't tell you is that it's not JUST the "finest leather." It's the finest baby seal leather! Just clubbed this morning, thats why it takes 4 weeks for delivery ROFL. XD
