i actually saw a listing for those Chloe flats you got (which i'm now stalking...thanks a LOT! ) going for over $600. i mean, they're only like $400 on net-a-porter, right???
yeah, I think they were about $360 or $370. I definitely have noticed sellers trying to pump up people's sense that an item is hard to come by, even if it's not... I've seen it a lot with the really popular brands like chloe and louboutin. it just kind of baffles me who would buy something that expensive on ebay without having first looked at the places that are likely to have it--like shopbop, or the department stores, or whatever. Very weird.
