Incotex Price Spike? - Page 2

Happen to be watching these as they are my size http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&item=140717217888

You live in New Jersey. Why not buy your Incos at Daffys for way less?

Listen, as a former seller and now a buyer of Incotex on B&S, I have some insight. Where I live I can't get nice pants like these made. Yes, I can go bespoke, but who goes bespoke for cotton pants?

I bought 4 pairs from a seller here. With shipping (almost 50 bucks) and some discounts, it was more than worth it for me. Under $100 a pair. I'm grateful for the service people do here. Where else can you get Incotex for this price? Seriously, there's no place else except STP, but they don't have good stock always... and they're still more expensive than people are selling here. No measurements either.

Check this out:

Besides, even 2 years ago, Mabitex were going for pretty much the same price. I have proof from what I charged and sold.

I still don't understand why not a single store has these in the Bay Area. I would buy 10 pairs in wool and keep them all and throw away all my other pants.

I try, but hard to find size/color I want and some people have a lot more free time to go and buy them. They don't exactly sit on the racks for very long. I buy what I can and try to trade or sell it for ones my size. I also buy them on ebay when I see what I want as you have to pay for what you want in an open market.
 

 

 

Fair enough, but like I said earlier there are currently multiple threads on B&S for substantially less than what those ebay pants went for.

Honestly, it's not much profit per pair. Considering the time spent to go to the store, pick out the ones, checking for defects, taking measurements, taking photos, creating the listing, and shipping...

you will have some competition...

any links for incos for sale?

$90 still a good deal for great pants. How bad are the defects?

Most of them are defect free, I saw 1-2 pairs out of 20 with defects. But left them alone.

Anyways, I'm selling mine for $60 shipped (some are more expensive) if anyone's interested!
