what would you do?
Permalink Closed

i have been trying to find a shirt by this random label forever. some have finally turned up on ebay and know i don't know what to do so i need your help.


there are 3 that i'm currently watching, one i'm not crazy about, but would satisfy my general desire for a shirt like this, and two i like very much. the one that i'm so-so on is $30


the other two both start at $50, but one has a buy it now option for $70



of the two i really like the white one the most and i'm tempted to just buy it now. as it stands those are my options. the blue one is currently has 2 bids and ends today. no one is bidding on the pink one right now, but that could change. i feel like the smart thing to do would be to wait until at least one ends so i can get a better idea of the demand. but i'm scared that if i wait, someone will bid on the white one, then i can no longer just buy it. sorry for the rambling. i'm just confused.

i love this voting feature!

you want the white shirt (i definitely like it best) and the pink is going to go for more than $50 anyway. so you'd be spending less and $20 more to ensure that you get a shirt that you've been looking for forever.

Do you know how much they retail for?  And, have you been stalking them on ebay for a long time and this is the first time they've come up?


If the BIN price is significantly less than retail or it is a rare item, I would just buy the white now.

I love this brand!  I saw some shirts in a boutique yesterday, $148 origially but 70%, unfortunately only larges.  Anyways, the white one is so cool, but I don't even really like the other two.

if money is not an issue, i would just buy the white one now.  that's the one you like the best anyway, so just go for it.  then definately have one of the shirts, and bonus that it's the one you really want.

get the white, get the white, get the white!  especially since you've had a hard time finding them and it seems like you really want it.  Go for it!  Good luck.

Good, you got it - yeah! I was thinking of bidding on one of the blue ones but the seller had a 97% FB rating or something...about 16 negs, so I didn't.


Honey if you read this comment can you tell me a bit about this brand? I have never heard of it before and am now totally curious (because those shirts rawked).

I like the white one the best. It sounds like you do too. I think you should get the one you like the best! Buy the white one, even though it might be the most expensive it is also the one you like the best therefore it is a better investment.

so i just tried googling them (which i've done before) and of course there were no results. this is what i know. the line is called joystick. they were featured in lucky's september issue, which is where i first noticed them. they design tees and cashmere sweaters too. i think they are a relatively new line and la based. when i went to miami in october i saw a couple of their tops in a store and i fell in love. they are absolutely gorgeous, and all the embroidery is done by hand.  the seller i got mine from just listed a bunch more (maybe i inspired him) and his feedback is 99.8%. when i briefly skimmed the feedback, the negatives were due to him not having the item in stock and the buyer's money was refunded. here's a link to all the items on ebay right now. all the buy it now ones are from the seller i used. i will definitely post a review when i get it, and hopefully it will come before his auctions end.
