ebaying for clothes? lame?

[Michele l'Arcangelo]

i'd usually save up to buy some nice clothes but i just don't feel like going to the mall to buy the expensive brands i like.

there are plenty cheap and brand new ones on ebay that are this season's line of clothes.

i also am doing a ebay snipe for them just for the sake of it, and desperation .

lame or not lame? anyone do this before?

//edit// also just wondering... how do people sell brand new clothes online for cheap? you think they are boosted? (doesn't make a difference to me, just wondering)

Who cares if they're from ebay, who will know

Make sure the clothes aren't counterfeit. I bought a couple pair of true religion jeans that were fake. I immediately sent them back and lost money on shipping. Just be careful what you buy!!!!!!!!!!

Umm, everyone in this forum... Isn't it amazing what people wouldn't know if only the people who didn't want you know wouldn't tell 'ya?

It's lame, because you don't meet like two dozen women shopping for clothes too.


Yet, I find that eBay is much cheaper. Idea is to go find what you want, try it on, at a store, then find it on eBay and buy in the same size. Great savings. 6 pairs of boxers cost me $8. While at a store I might possibly get me 3 pairs for $10.


You can sell stuff on eBay too. Such as anything you have in your closets. Put it for $.99 and let people bid. I always sell stuff that I would otherwise throw out.

a good friend of mine sells brooks brothers overstock on ebay...... he's real legit, and apparently other people are buying it because he is bringing in over 150k a year

I'm very particular about the way something fits, so it's a must that I try something on before I buy it. And if you get it and it doesn't fit quite the way you expected you have the hassle of boxing it up and standing in line at the post office to send it back. No thanks. So I don't think I'll be buying clothes on ebay anytime soon.

I have never bought clothes through, ebay, but I'm preparing to, since a lot of times there is a big saving.. It's just that the designer clothing that I really like, it's just hard to find my size available on ebay.. I'm really particular about fit, so I will try the pair of jeans on in the store, then order them online from the store website that provides free shipping, so I save on the taxes...
