What makes me sad is her selling the bags that she still presumably likes (as I haven't seen her comment on why these bags haven't worked out for her) to fund more uninspired H purchases so she can keep her abusive relationship with Hermes going.

LOL i guess "love love love" for all these youtubers, is love no more

Is this the size of small trendy that she's selling?

I think so! When she got her Prada bag, I was like why the heck did she even bother to get it, b/c it's not Chanel and she is definitely going to sell it later lol. So, I jotted down how much it retailed for then: $2450. And now, she's selling it, used, for $3K. I feel like all of her prices reek of "greed".

I like her videos, but I find it hard to like her b/c of that. She has more than enough money to shop from the newest Chanel/H collection every season, yet she's still "ripping" off her subbies, so she has even more money to buy more Chanel and B/K/C's lol. I have to admit that I also don't like how her SAs must all adore her/treat her like a VIP for being such a big customer, but behind the scenes, she just sells a lot of the items later on in the year for a profit. But hey, I know life is unfair

It's not only the several items above retail. Everything she is selling is above retail price. She's used all the items and then is selling it for more than what she actually paid for before the price increases. Ie trendy cc. It probably wouldn't come off less as greed if she didn't list everything at the same time or called it a "vlog sale".

I saw the real shakeen participated in an “emergency meeting” with classics with a quirk, super Dacob, and another YouTuber I’m unfamiliar with. I’m sure there’s useful information as I haven’t watched but I couldn’t help but chuckle it sounds like a business council meeting (not sure helpful it is without official Chanel representative). I wonder what Chanel thinks of videos like this.

Personally I’m really not sure if youtubers are just riding the wave of drama for views, but when people on the forum have issues or concerns about products, I personally trust them a lot more. traceySh’s thread has turned into something major with a lot of business and historical context from amazingly knowledgeable people. I’m grateful we have this community of resources here.

You are right! I was waiting to see if anyone would comment on her listing everything above the most current retail price haha.

Her Manolos are shockingly below retail lol, but that's b/c she got them on sale (and it's been a long time and no one's bought them yet). In that post though, you can see that she peeled off the sale price sticker, leaving only the original price sticker. As if she was actually going to give her subbies a deal I am not rich enough to buy H like her, so I'm unfamiliar w/ it. I think the H eze sandals retail for like $730? She listed them, used lol, for $950, so are they that desirable and hard to get? Wouldn't people rather buy these pre-spend items from their SA so they can get a QB? lol.

She's gonna do the math infront of us too. Lol

Her and that damn calculator

I just saw Fashionablyamy is doing a vlog sale and just checked the pricing and nearly fell off my chair! Some of the prices are sooo much over retail.. like I appreciate things like heart bag are hard to find etc but still I think morally I would be feeling guilty to charge that much over retail. Hmm… I know to each their own but just surprised she’s parting with items she was gushing over a month or so ago. Esp the heart and Prada crystal bag.. others I can understand she might be over them and needs the funds for Kelly next. But it’s confusing as one minute you’re talking so highly of the bags and influencing the audience and next they are on the chopping block.

I saw her vlog sale video too and shocked by the price of the bags, like heart bag for 9900 CAD and trendy cc 7900 CAD
Really if anyone is reading this and thinking of buying from her - please think twice !

It has become a norm that YouTubers buy most popular bags, praise them for a while and then sell them to poor subscribers and process continues! Awful !

Remember Youtubers buy to unbox, create content and keep status with their SAs so they can buy more and create more content. The more unboxings they have, the more clicks they get. So it's understandable when she buys one thing today, raves about it, and sells for profits tomorrow.

She said in the Vlog sale that she won't sell all of her Chanel stuff to buy Hermes, but she has sold half of her Chanel collection to fund Hermes, and who knows what she will sell in the future to fund a Kelly. Her journey with Hermes is just so toxic, it does make me sick when I think about the torture she has to go through mentally and physically. With the amount she has spent (not to mention her energy, time, efforts...), she can definitely get any bag she wants in the pre-loved market. But hey, she's a Youtuber, she has the means to buy and sell to make up for what she has lost. The longer the journey, the more unboxings/videos/ clicks/profits she makes. I have a feeling she's on the next wagon to get another H bag. SMH. She'll be like "I'll be very patient because I already own 3 bags from them, so I'm not under pressure this time" lol. Enthusiasm on YouTube is so fake nowadays. It all comes down to profits.

You all should check out Carol Chan's channel. She seems very down to earth. She buys what she likes and she does seem to enjoy the things she buys. I do enjoy all of her videos.

Notice how she doesn't even post the details of her items for sale. It's not very transparent... She doesn't publically disclose the condition, details on what's included or her payment method. I guess her "subbies" love her and trust that she doesn't use her items (but just look at her trendy cc) and then trust her to give her $10k.

It's all posted in the description of her sale video, and she says how to contact her and her payment method at the start of the video.

+1 for Carol Chan. Love her!

Not on the ig account.
You mean she makes you watch her entire video for her to tell you the condition of her items? Great way to get click$ too

Also the payment method is not very transparent. But I guess the onus is on the buyer to understand what it means to send 10k to someone by wise.

Was Amy selling her trendy cc for above retail? I missed the price as it’s pending sale. If she did, that’s so extortionate! They’re really not difficult to get at the boutique. I have a lot of strong opinions about her but I’ll keep my mouth shut as this isn’t a gossip forum.

+1 on all the thoughts on CWC. She’s so sanctimonious and her voice gives me the heebies. I refuse to watch her videos! Lol

maybe an unpopular opinion but i think there is a misconception that social media content creators that do constant unboxings bring in a significant amount of income from 'views' and ‘lilysilk like sponsors’ to fund these indulgent shopping hauls. if it was that easy to make $$ off a social media channel (and just unbox what you've bought at the mall that day), everyone would do it! Just unbox and return. and the cycle repeats. lol. also, i'm not sure how many subscribers would actually buy these 'preowned' items from these channels. any logical person would do their research first prior to buying an expensive bag. you're not going to pay $xxxx for a chanel bag from an individual reseller when you can buy it for a similar price from a reputable consignment store, etc. and even if you had to pay a little more on Fashionphile (wouldn't you want to buy from FP instead?? - their generous 30 day return policy is a no brainer for anyone making an expensive luxury purchase).
Also for what it’s worth, selling Chanel items is not that difficult to do on your own (having a social media channel to unload things doesn’t makes it any more profitable imo). I had a pretty large Chanel collection at one point and rehomed many of my bags because i wasn't using them enough ( made my money back and a lot more with the multiple price increases chanel has had).

I know what you mean about her subbies loving her TBH, I was surprised that some of them would gift her things like H lipsticks, which I'm guessing is probably one of the priciest lipsticks? And as you know, someone else gifted her a rodeo to go w/ her B. She's already $$$$ and IMO, a baller lol, so I suppose that's why I find it surprising and amusing. She is a very eloquent speaker etc., so I can see why people love her though.
