Actually debating on getting this sweater, but I can't un-see this (which is actually a plus for me).

This jacket was sitting at my local Marshalls for $720CA. Is this a new thing?

Kering put out their numbers today, it's mind-boggling how much Gucci and Saint-Laurent are growing. It was strange not to see them disclose concrete figures for Balenciaga.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

I recently listed a Gucci item on Grailed, and it's like a different world from my previous Grailed experience in both buying and selling more obscure brands. My experience had been mainly pleasant with communicative and polite people who were obviously keenly interested in clothing with an artisanal slant. Gucci opened up a whole new world of people raised in barns with a bizarre sense of entitlement and empty bravado. One guy told me that the item must be fake because the price was too low. I doubled the price for him and asked him if he preferred the new price. It has been a non-stop shit show. I must have blocked five people this week after they went on tirades when I chose not to accept their laughable offers. I have accepted three offers and then the people making the offers disappeared. It's a new adventure every time I check my messages. Don't sell Gucci on Grailed.

1. Find your nearest Century 21 or similar discounter for rock bottom prices.
2. Acquired discontinued styles in XXS or XXL(either Gothninja or hypebeast designers...Nothing in-between)
3. Post on grailed at 500% markup minimum. Marking garment as "rare" and "one of a kind" is a plus.
4. Bump for 3 months while lowering the price drastically before jacking it up once it gets enough hearts.
5. ...
6. Profit!

Selling pieces from SZ related designers has always been a pleasant experience for me, potential buyers actually respect the garment they are about to buy and the only questions I get is about sizing. On the contrary when trying to sell something else you encounter a different breed of users where flaking, low-balling and lack of respect is the normal.

Sounds pretty cool attitude but you are missing the fun of it. What about the piece you've been looking for ages? Got no time to have a piece you really love either? Sounds like I were to tell my buddies, you know, I'm a cool dude, girls are easy for me, I just ask them once, if they say yes then it's yes, or else I don't bother to waste time on any of them.

There's a Saint Laurent jacket listed for $100,000. The seller wants "reasonable offers." He also has a couple jackets in the $30,000 range for the poor man. That's a game I'm not willing to play no matter how much I want a piece.Last edited by Sombre; 11-12-2017, 05:31 PM.An artist is not paid for his labor, but for his vision. - James Whistler
