For example, the Dior UMC09 that you mentioned earlier -- while those DID make it to the 50% off sale at the end of the season and some people were able to snag them at that price, they are now several seasons old and thus very difficult to come across anywhere, let alone trying to find them for 50% off retail. Because of these factors, I don't think it's unreasonable for people to ask close to retail, if not slightly over depending on the demand for the product in question.
needs to be requoted for cheap people who think because 1 rick leather sold at $750, that every rick leather should or they're not getting a good deal. Definitely depends on the specific piece, the collector value of it, how the design has stood up over time and how sought after it still is, etc...
Also, some items in certain colorways or patterns or cuts make it to deeper sales because they're not as popular but doesn't mean the most sought after ervell knit of the season that sold out everywhere almost immediately should resell for 60% off because someone bought some other stuff at the nyc sample sale that weren't even production runs or overstock for super cheap.
Basically people just need to use common sense and do a little legwork
