if i were gonna sell my tsubi lean bean's on ebay (worn probably 5 times, theyre in fantastic condition, and ideally you want your tsubis stretched out anyway) what do you think would be a realistic reserve price?

they're $309 RRP

 

[my sharona]

Always start really really low.

Lets say... $19.99?

i just saw a pair of worn scooter tsubi's go for about 150... i dunno if thats necassarily true that they go for nothing.

they look pretty much new i guess... but i dont like the idea of lying

 

[spin spin sugar]

i just wouldnt like it if i sent it to someone and they thought they looked worn and gave me bad feedback... so ppl wouldnt trade with me again. its too risky.

yeah, ive hardly worn them, i just think they dont look good on me

its not really typical pretty boy shit, its too expensive to be typical, its just wanky

they have a store at paddington, stocked in general pants too

yeah i got them for 170, they were the only jeans we stocked at the time that i liked, and we need to wear all GP clothes at work so it was a necessity. we have newer jeans styles now which i got for free so i really dont need the tsubis anymore. i never wore GP clothes before i worked there, 95% of it is overpriced, i would rather shop vintage if i were after GP-ish stuff.

so i'm not offended, and im used to people saying exactly what you just said

i bought shoes of ebay once....
nike cortez's rrp 140
cost about 80 including postage

 

[bubz :D]

what size are they, grace? (so i can nick them off you lol, jk i'm broke)
start with $50 or so, they always soar in the last few days

if you've worn them 5x, just say something like "like new, only worn twice - didn't fit"

make sure you take plenty of decent photos, people (like me) like that

 

[my sharona]

If you start with a lower reserve price, people think they're getting a bargain... and even when the price goes up, they still want the jeans just as bad...
That's my reasoning anyway.

As for your fear of bad feedback, most people will give you good feedback as long as you havent sold them a fake, 2 months late or something...

Just write you wore them for a weekend and decided they were too big (too small makes people feel like they're really stretched).

theyre a 10, and they don't fit, so its kinda true. they look weird on me, like the leg has too much room in the wrong places.

yeah i'll be sure to take nice pics with heels on, thats when they look nicest

i was gonna set the reserve for 50 - 70, i figure thats pretty good

yeah actually youre probably right, like that guy with the 115 dollar t shirt, his reserve was 10 bucks

 

[my sharona]

btw Spin spin, you should really think about trying to take pics of stuff in GP and start with the reserve price as whatever you pay, and watch it go up... seriously, people will pay close to (and maybe higher if they cant find it) than the RRP of 'in-season' clothing... Especially because you can get it BNWT...

I know a friend who went crazy and bought a pair of havaianas on eBay for $40 because the shops around her didn't have her size.

 

[spin spin sugar]

hahahaha 40 bucks for a pair of havis!!

i met a singaporean lady at work, who bought about 10 pairs of havi's - cos apparently theyre really expensive there??? weirrrd

 

[my sharona]

I have no idea. I'm still itching to get a Samsung T500. Those bastards at Samsung took it off the market, and they're still selling for $600...

Well... since you get such generous discounts at GP, you can be my new best friend!! haha... hey tell me, what's your returns policy?

There's this jacket my friends bought me and i dont really like it. So I don't have the receipt or the tags... but i only wore it once (and its a size too small too)... would i be able to get a refund? or a gift voucher or something?

 

[spin spin sugar]

maaaaybe a credit note for GP if you could provide a bank statement proving you purchased it or whatever, but we usually dont give refunds period, let alone to someone without a receipt

sucky, i know

 

[my sharona]

But i didn't buy it... so i dont have any of that stuff..? Would i be able to get an exchange or something??

 

[spin spin sugar]

can you ask the person for a bank statement?

you wont get anything without one :/

 

[my sharona]

COOL. Thanks for the help. I can't rep you because I gotta spread the love around... but hey, you've gone light green. Congrats.

What's the hip measurement of your Tsubis?

 

[spin spin sugar]

[SashatheMan]
