I haven't read through all pages on here but I have bought quite a few off of eBay. I fell in love with alot of stuff from 2008-2011 and ebay or bonanza is the only way to get them. I will say that when a coach factory sale comes up online and I go to try and buy something and find that its a popular item and being held in other members' carts, and i cant buy it for myself, it's very very irritating to find a load of them marked up $50 or more for profit on eBay. I just get so mad that I wanted it for myself and I can't buy it. Anyone else feel like this? I apologize if this was already mentioned in this thread and I didn't see it.
A few basic facts:
1- This has been discussed over and over again - Sellers are entitiled to make a profit. Unless you think that they're just supposed to absorb all the costs of reselling the item such as state sales tax (over 10 percent in some states) and the sky-high fees from both Paypal and Ebay on every item sold that alone can amount to 20-25 percent of the purchase price. Try buying and then reselling for only a 10 dollar markup and see how long you stay in business.
2- First come, first served. If you want a better shot at getting what you want, log into the sales earlier.
3- And this thread is about suspected resellers being banned from Coach stores. Not about seller markups although there have been other threads about that and the posters have been told the same thing I said in paragraph #1. Potential buyers have a very simple option - don't buy if you don't like the price. Or if you're within range of an outlet store, shop there instead.
