Chanel prices depend heavily on a bag's age, so each sale is sorted by the year, microchip, season code or series the seller wrote in the listing. 136 of 169 sales didn't say, so they count in neither price. Everything else on this page uses recent bags.
US boutique prices by year, with today's typical resale for recent bags as the dashed line. New in 2019 it cost $6,900. A 2019-or-newer one typically resells for $12,500 today: 81% more than it cost new then, and 95% of today's $13,200.
Each point is the median eBay sold price of recent bags for one half year, all conditions, counting half years with 4 or more sales. 23 sales of recent bags over the last 3 years.
21 eBay sales of recent bags in the last 12 months (23 in 3 years) · median $12,500 · middle half $9,150–$13,100

Sold prices from eBay via Terapeak, recent bags only (2019 or newer per the listing), all conditions. The resale range above is the middle half of these sales.
The 11.12, as Chanel calls it, is Karl Lagerfeld's 1983 update of Coco Chanel's 2.55 from 1955: diamond quilting, a leather-woven chain and the interlocking CC turnlock.
It is the clearest case of Chanel pricing power. The Medium cost $5,800 new in 2019 and $11,700 today, roughly double in seven years.
Resale has not kept pace with those increases. Recent bags trade well under today's boutique price, which is exactly why the pre-owned market for this bag is so busy.
Size changes the math: the Minis and the Maxi resell closest to retail, while the Small, Medium and Jumbo sit around two thirds of today's price.
Our verdict: Recent bags resell at about 69% of today's boutique price (Medium). A buyer's market, not a flip.
Buy only from authenticated resellers or with a professional authentication. Classic Flaps and Wallets on Chain are among the most counterfeited bags in the world.
