Official Sales Alert thread - sales, coupon and discount codes

[washedout]

I would appreciate if this thread was more concise, by concise I mean less customs/fake codes/internet-fights talk.

Don't forget cp/mmmgats sizing talk.

Buying with no intention of wearing but instead sell for higher

Is that bad? I did that just yesterday. My local Saks had 2 pairs of Celine skates/slip ons on clearance that I plan to milk on ebay!

If you buy something that you like but unsure on fit/aesthethic and then flip It isnt that bad. Otherwise you aré that asshole stealing deals from everyone.....

 

[jsimonovis413]

If you buy something that you like but unsure on fit/aesthethic and then flip It isnt that bad since you are 'experimenting'. Otherwise you aré that asshole.....

And what about that makes me an asshole? Because I'm trying to make a profit? That's kind of silly to me.

 

[Caveat]

Don't act like you don't know the difference between flipping something that otherwise would not find its audience, and racing to snipe an amazing deal from everyone before it sells out.

If Myhabit puts Rick Owens geobaskets on sale for $300 and within one minute you buy every pair and list them on ebay at 150% markup then it should be obvious to anyone that you are an asshole. There are obviously grey areas, but the above situation with the Barbours is not one of them.

The worst is when the resellers act all high and mighty like they are providing a valuable service to people

Actually, there are some cases where that's true. I mean, what about a store like What Comes Around Goes Around that scours thrift shops for amazing items and sells them to people who appreciate them but don't have time to travel the country looking for them? Is WCAGA doing a disservice to the shoppers of those thrift stores by stealing the hidden gems and flipping them?

But obviously there is no service being done in most cases and it's just parasitic behavior.

I feel like this sale season is really long, but also generally pretty ****.
Maybe that's just because FW is better.

Im not sure if this is aimed at me or notttttt. I JUST learned the meaning of the term flipping and I was very upfront about engaging in "flipping" behavior lol

I normally wouldn't go out of my way to purchase several items of the same kind so I can re-sell them all, but if I see something that is deeply discounted and I can make a profit on it, I will most certainly take the chance to do so.

Like, if you buying them and reselling gives you some profit + allows someone who wants them to get them for the original price or better, that's definitely a win-win situation in my opinion (the ones who want to buy most likely wouldn't have found the deal you found anyway so)

so
If you sell above retail: asshole
If you sell for retail: You're totally fine
If you sell below retail: You're better than fine

just my opinion

 

[LeeroyDaBoy]

I buy stuff and then sell it for less than what I paid for it. Does that make me Willy Wonka status when it comes to flipping?

There actually WAS exactly the same situation once. Not with Barbours but with geos.
