Originally posted by Lex1017 View PostA lot of the "rare" pieces are the oddly coloured, unpopular runway pieces that no retailers bought and were only sold on the website and in flagships (and were bought at maximum markdown). Hard to believe anyone falls for those pitches, especially if you lurk online retailers once and a while. As an aside, how do people on grailed acquire full size runs of items to sell? Are they stores selling their unused inventories? People trying to profit on marked down stock? Theft? Fake?
As for your latter questions, I have hunches but nothing concrete to go on. Maybe Faust or one of the SZ vets have an idea...who slips in to my body and whispers to my ghost?

In my mind, consumers of this type of clothing are primarily interested in the story the designer is selling directly or marketing/celebrity hype, not that of some random seller without any taste making clout. Details on the production and construction or even a simple "it looks sick" would better sell the piece. My eyes glaze over whenever I read any generalized, buzzy sell, especially those that label any ole piece shown on the runway as iconic. I would say that's a sign of bad salesmanship.
Also re: Lex1017's question, I've seen a number of sellers unloading multiple sizes straight from spence and other discount retailers. I can't speak to whether stores sell backstock on the site, but since I don't see any limitation listed in the rules on the type of sellers permitted I'd say its probable but hasn't yet been exploited.

definitely poison.—

i lost my favorite silly hat a few days ago, i was utterly crushed, i trashed my entire house looking for it, went outside and dumped out the disgusting garbage and sifted through, I couldn't find it, all hope was lost.
on wednesday i found my goofy hat in the basement of a church sitting on top of a tray of oreos. reunited at last.
