i made mention that i will not be selling clearance AEs anymore due to this problem. clearance AEs lose stock immediately once they hit ebay .
so i will only be doing perennial favorites and newcomer models at my 229 price from now on.
thanks for the interest though, hope you enjoy your burton and PA!
Yes, I think you would be wise to avoid buying AEs in bulk to sell at anything over $100 - especially black bluchers like the Burton or woven ones like the Hampstead - even if they are not clearance models. Even the ugliest AEs can probably sell for less than $100 but aside from a select few styles like the PA, it's hard to quickly unload AEs for more. If I were you, I would stick to Santoni and other high end brands.
