    Carol Christian Poell...did I overpay on Ebay?

    on a side note, treasurehoard generally has really really ridiculous prices for really old stock stuff, though it's generally in okay condition and 100% legit. never willing to go down much more than $25 or $50 at most. i'm blacklisted from the guy because i lowballed him once. ROFL Well glad I...

    Carol Christian Poell...did I overpay on Ebay?

    I like the way you think! That is about the extent of my mind set, and NO, it is paid by a 3rd party in which I give some cash, but time passes and it is forgot about, so I myself end up paying much less. It is the principal though Yes I think this is good advice too and I will be following...

    Carol Christian Poell...did I overpay on Ebay?

    (1) Rank: at the very bottom of the CCP hierarchy, from a time/set of seasons when he was about at his lowest and making some embarassing, "funny" stuff (not "haha" funny.) (2) Retail: Probably less than $275. In fact, I'd almost guarantee it. Not only because of the material/season, but also...

    Carol Christian Poell...did I overpay on Ebay?

    Hey, whatever it takes to make you feel better about massively overpaying for this shirt... is fine by me! If you like the shirt, then it's worth it. Nevertheless, you DID ask our opinions. I know CCP; I've had his garments; I like CCP. That being said, I stand by my posts here that this...

    Carol Christian Poell...did I overpay on Ebay?

    I think you paid a lot for a 15 year old worn shirt with snags, made from Polyester. CCP ranks very high, but not really for these kinds of items (more like his specialty jackets, pants, etc.) Retail? Probably not as much as you wish, to make your $275 seem like a better deal. I think you know...

    Carol Christian Poell...did I overpay on Ebay?

    Anyone have an idea of what the retail price would have been brand new at the time ?

    Carol Christian Poell...did I overpay on Ebay?

    OK I need some advice here from the affciandos around here. I just saw a listing for a Carol Christian Poell shirt striking blue 100% polyester for a starting price of 290.00 "buy it now" on Ebay and this listing noted some pulls. I thought this is might be over priced for sure, so I'll make an...

    Carol Christian Poell...did I OVERPAY on Ebay!?

    You're asking in your post, did i overpay, and then all your subsequent posts are I didn't overpay. At least go to sw&d if you want confirmation to make yourself feel better. I'm sure there's pretty much no one on MC that gives a crap about ccp, other than maybe their leather jackets. I said...

    Carol Christian Poell...did I OVERPAY on Ebay!?

    Would anyone like to take a stab at what the retail price would have been brand new ?

    Carol Christian Poell...did I OVERPAY on Ebay!?

    I don't think he was really being snide - just saying if you aren't after that designer specifically it DOES seem like a lot of loot for a poly shirt that isn't perfect. What are you doing with this item - wearing it or do you have a clothing collection of some sort? That is true, but I like...

    Carol Christian Poell...did I OVERPAY on Ebay!?

    You paid for the name/exclusivity. It's impossible to put a price on an intangible thing like that. Other than that, yes you overpaid. It's a pretty plain, blue polyester shirt with visible pulls. As long as its still QUALITY I don't think I did, and I do understand what your saying about the...

    Carol Christian Poell...did I OVERPAY on Ebay!?

    I'm not sure why anyone but a dedicated collector of Carol Christian Poell would buy that shirt. You do realize that it's a 15 year-old, damaged, polyester shirt, right? Why are you comparing it to silk shirts from completely different designers? If the fact that it was designed by Poell means...
