Last I recall, Les sold one to Chris for $425 or thereabouts-- about a month ago? Didn't know one was just sold for $750!

Re: The (buyers) secondary market

Thanks Faust! You're spot on about the avatar. That's me carefully plotting my next Rick Owens purchase while stalling progress on the impending joint bank account. Gulp.

Re: The (buyers) secondary market

My wife works in fashion so she's okay with it to a degree. But I still have to "adjust" the prices. For example, my overlock jacket cost me "$2500" etc.

Re: The (buyers) secondary market

haha. i do that for my parent's sake. my fencing jacket was $1400. i can't do that to my fiancee b/c she's keenly aware of the prices for all these lines.

Re: The (buyers) secondary market

There's also the old "I bought it on Ebay" line that you can try and feed her...

Re: The (buyers) secondary market

One of the greatest trumps the capitalist market ever played: it made us believe in
"the new", the constant renewal of cultural products, which it requires for survival,
in order to renew the needs for consumption and production ...
