OHMSS Gucci case size

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=280377387248#ht_500wt_1047

A very nice Gucci suitcase for sale on ebay Germany. I have been in touch with the seller and asked for measurements of the attache.

He told me, that the case is 70 cm long, 20 cm thick and around 45 cm high.

He claims, that the office shots have been done with wide-angle-lens, which make the suitcase smaller than it is. Additionally he told me, that he compared the suitcase to the Cougar in the scene after the titles. Taken that the cougar is 492 cm long, he came to a measure of 70 cm.

70 cm means bigger than a big standard Samsonite hardbody suitcase (which is around 68 cm long) and right from all that I have seen, I always thought, that the shown case was a smaller standard suitcase or a bigger standard attache. This leads me to a length of 50-55 cm, but nothing more.

Is here anyone with some additional thoughts?

    take care with screen cap measurements because of margin of error, difference of 2mm measuring screen cap because of perspective = big real world difference in measurement

    that site you linked to does look like Ebay, but they've gone and written the description in some kind of juvenile gobbledegook.

    that's not german!
    The seller is from Switzerland and even my fellow countrymen can hardly understand a word in Schwizerdüütsch :D
