| Authenticity Cannot Be Guaranteed.

I made the Goodwill circuit today, 3 Goodwills in 2 hours.
My last stop was in South Elgin, Il - it's a bit of a hike and considering my cart was empty walking out, don't think I will be walking in again soon. Something caught my eye, a sign taped to the inside of the locked 'good shit' glass case which stated in all capped Sharpie "Authenticity of Designer Purses Cannot Be Guaranteed NO REFUNDS".
Inside the case was the typical Coach resale line up: Beekman briefcase, City bag, Station bag and the unsellable Court bag. The crazy thing was that the prices were way higher than my local Goodwill for similar items, they wanted $54.99 for a City Bag that looked like it had been dragged across the Jewel parking lot on a hot day.
I wonder if Goodwill considers themselves to be an outlet store in direct competition with the Coach outlet which is about 5 miles away and where you can walk out the door with a new purse for $65 and you don't have to pick asphalt out of the seams?
Though I would be lying if I didn't cop to being rescued by a small package hidden deep within an unused pocket of my resale Coach Hamptons tote, a new Maxi pad left there by the girl scout who bought it new.
Coach outlet should take note,. . . (read post) |

I don't function in a normal, social, human environment.
After years of hovering over a keyboard late at night singing the
praises of whatever item I found by the side of the road that day the
last thing I want to deal with is a bitchy grumpasaurus customer.
Email tends to bring out the worst in people, or it could be that other
anti-social crumudgeon types like myself prefer to shop without social
interaction so the grumpy asshole quotient is higher.
I got accused of selling a fake bag this week.
What made me really frustrated about the whole deal was that she never
contacted me to express her suspicion and request a return. She didn't
even email me and threaten me with a negative.
She just left me a neutral and said she bought the bag under the assumption it was real and it was not.
I emailed and emailed and she totally blew me off.
The bag was real, but the serial numbers of Kate Spades are easy to miss- still she could have emailed me back.
Now the worst...
My sister and I started a business selling a local company's catalog
returns/store displays etc- they only have one outlet so it is a good
situation for us.
A customer got her item from us, and wasn't happy.
Did she contact us and ask for a return?
Did she email a. . . (read post) |
