| Authenticity Cannot Be Guaranteed.
|
Added on 01/20/08 by Betsy
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) |

| American Girl Dolls & Ebay: A Love Affair
|
Added on 11/08/06 by Betsy
"My daughter wants an American Girl doll for Christmas. I've always loved them and have been looking at them on ebay. Could you do a ReSale Queen on the American Girl dolls? What should I look for? Is it worth it to invest in an older doll or should I just buy new? What do you think?"
I love American Girl dolls too- that is the whole basis for their success I think. They totally appeal to mommies as well as kids.
As a buyer you have to make a decision. Are you taking the Beanie Baby route- buying the dolls as some sort of investment your kid can retire on at 19, or are you buying dolls for your daughter to fall in love with, to drag along on her adventures and to make her best friend.
Or maybe you just are wondering whether the older dolls are higher quality and you just want the coolest little best friend for your daughter.
To help you determine which path to take I am going to give you a little background on how these things are listed on Ebay and what you can expect to pay for each classification.
American Girl was the brilliant idea of a Wisconsin teacher. She started Pleasant Company in 1986 with a catalog. The reason a lot. . . (read post) |
