Originally posted by Chinorlz View PostI scrolled through the items quickly when I got the e-mail notification and quite a lot had already sold. I was quite surprised to see some of the 4-figure ($6k+!) Raf parkas etc. sold out so quickly. The breadth of the item list was clearly thought out as no specific genre was targeted... if that DH "the end" tee was my size I would have pulled the trigger on it if only for nostalgia's sake.
This sale further supports my interpretation that the new UX is meant to subtly suggest each posting on Grailed has been curated in some way, which cements trust and subconsciously raises best and final valuations.

Perhaps my total is off but I believe it's a quote from a staff member.

Originally posted by Faust View PostI know this is conspiracy theory territory, but I would not be at all surprised if none of these items actually sold, but were only marked sold to create additional layer of hype.
either way, it's all advertising. they lost money on almost every piece that went on sale, but they'll make that back in probably a single day of their new fees, so it's nothing.
grailed is doing everything they need to do, albeit only really from a business standpoint.

This answers the question I raised in an exchange with another member yesterday. Most photos in the grailed ads are pretty bad but they all had a pretty clean look for the grailed100.
