Default Ebay - clothes auctions, where do they get them ?

Hello

My wife was looking on Ebay for some clothes stuff earlier and found a dress new with tags for 75 quid that she bought from a high street shop for 140 a couple of weeks ago.

Looking at the seller they have sold loads and loads of Coast, Dune, etc. clothing recently which seems to be all the current range.

Where do these sellers get these clothes from ? I could understand it if it was last years or seasons stuff, but not current stuff. Cant beleive its all off the back of a lorry !!

Loads of fakes on ebay. Positive feedback means nothing if the buyers cant spot the fakes.

As above, most are fakes. But don't forget designer stuff cost same to make as cheap tat anyway.

some of it is just stock that needs to be shifted. remember in a regional sale it is all about shifting stock not just making the mass of profit.

a mate has a good sideline buying shoes like doc marten's from stores looking to say their sales figures are up for next to nowt. he then flogs them on efence for a nice profit.

Aye, as been said, a lot of fakes. Couldn't imagine getting any G-Star off ebay, nearly all dodgy.

Could be end of line, surplus stock.
