i'm making this thread for the benefit of others who might make the same mistake that i did so i had been browsing styleforum for about 2 months learning a lot about suits, fit, and style i've looked through almost 2 thousand pages in the WAYWRN thread and various stuff i was a big time noob when it came to style and fit and i thought i had learned a thing or two so i decided to try my luck at ebay first of all, i did not really know what i was looking for i now realize that most of the clothes on ebay are just utter crap, things people won't ever wear these days mostly things that look like they're from the 80's super low button stance on the jackets, huge shoulder pads, etc my second mistake was getting caught up in the buying frenzy i think i purchased a total of 18 clothing items within a few weeks ... about 9 sports coats, 1 jacket, 2 coats, 2 suits, 1 used dress shoes, 3 shirts spent about $290 total ... and upon receiving these items, realized what a complete noob i was out of all those things i bought, i've managed to pick up about 4 wearable items 1 tweed sports coat 1 coat 1 jacket 1 dress shirt the only thing i've worn so far is the tweed sports coat ... which i got complimented on by several people so that eases the pain of wasting my money on the other stuff a bit but overall, my ebay shopping spree has been a failure summary -educate yourself more before trying to pick up things from ebay -pay attention to the photos and the description -don't buy too many items at once and don't rush i might try to sell back the rest of the crap ... but i doubt they'll sell most likely i'll just end up donating them to the local goodwill or just take it to a park in LA and start handing them out to homeless folks ... hopefully they won't reject the 80's crap clothes
