Met a woman I know today. Sold her deceased Mum's car and spent the lot on a handbag. Now what would you do if you were in the same situation?

In your position? Compliment her on the handbag, I guess.

Imagine how many pairs of shoes she will have if she gets left the house to sell.

It may come as a surprise but some people are more into handbags than cars.

If my dad died and let me his honda jazz I wouldn't keep it forever, I'd sell it and put the money into towards buying a nice car for the weekend.

How much we talking? My wife loves shoes and handbags - she has about 6 of them but I don't think I've ever spent more than £600.

If I had a car for every one of her handbags I'd need to buy the car-park at Terminal 5 to keep them in!

In reply to you questions on the value:-

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HERMES-BIRKIN-BAG-40CM-E...

it was less than this - but....... yikes

Put another way, she has pestered me to look out for a nice Spridget for her. She would have had change from the one I found, rebuilt as new a few years back.
