1.Tory Burch peep toe fabric wedge shoes my size $5 plus 20% off at savers
2. Marked 14k gold lapis necklace $40 with 20% off. I was shocked. Normally, savers has been pricing their jewelry like $500 plus
3. I saw two pairs of Rothys at 2nd Ave, but I didn't buy them, they were not my size (7) and $10 a piece
4. BNIB Nepresso Breville Creatista Plus $50, selling at Williams & Sonoma for $850, we were in the flea market for 25 min and this vendor has been downsizing and transitioning to the ebay. I was surprised, but I could tell the other shoppers were angry I got it. Another shopper and me were talking how people seem to stop speaking with you when they see you with something. So petty.
5. A fashion nova nwt 2 pc set with a floral print of roses $4.
6. Vintage Moncler puffer coat $10
7. A tweed Soia & Kyo coat, made in Canada $10
8. I doubled-back to the FM on Saturday and this man had a few coats and I got a Lululemon coat, not sure what style, but it has a lot of pockets, a removable and wearable hood. I think it is their $1200 coat. The Lululemon Polar. I paid $30. Lululemon is very rare in my area in the thrifts. I was so happy. When my father was out of state sick last year, I had to use the public laundromat and I lost/stolen my beloved North Face 550 puffer coat. I got it from the bins and paid a few dollars. We were talking about it in line once how even though we find some nice things, it is sad that we purchase them from vendors at the storage units.
9. A Suarez bag green from the free place
10. breville coffee grinder at the free place
11. 20 ikea coffee cups at the free place
12. Yellow halter h&m dress $5
13. dvf plain pink dress $5

Sorry I don't have pictures of everything. I can't seem to upload stock photos.

Thank you, friend. I didn't get it all the same day. I thought I over paid for the Nepresso until last week I saw a different vendor selling a Breville 12 cup coffee with grinder cappuccino PREOWNED ( water stains) for $250. She said it retail for $600-700 online.

Forgot to mention a Club L London dress I paid $15.

I was trying to say the Lululemon coat has a removable liner you can wear it separately.

Found out recently that my car only likes premium fuel so I very thankful that these places are not too far from me. You need a car to get to them.

Still looking for the white whale like you found, the Hermes bag.

Here I was thinking I did well this past weekend finding a pair of Brunello Cucinelli pants for $3. I am in Canada. I'd love to do a road trip south of the border just to thrift.
 
I am officially upset! I sold a handbag on the bay and the buyer requested a refund. When I shipped it, it was great. I pride myself on shipping. This person had the bag for a 1 week and 1/2. She filed a return request stating that "this is unacceptable". I am attaching the pics. I opened a case against her; that bag was not unraveling on the corner. She has feedback warning, "Don’t do business with this buyer. Reported for threats and false return". So my question is why is she still able to purchase on the bay? I am very upset and I do not want the bag back. I opened a case on her as well. So my funds are frozen and they may make me pay her back and take the bag. I am very frustrated.

Oh Raven that is horrible. I’m so sorry this is happening.

Thanks Tomsmom, I appreciate it. If I am forced to refund, I will leave the bay. I will start selling somewhere else. I've been on the bay for awhile, feedback score is 526 and I just made Top Seller again. I stopped selling while my dad was sick; didn't have time, energy, or focus. My poor bag was mistreated.

Don't worry. I had one of these buyers. She had pictures on her facebook page showing off the purse she bought from me but she claimed there was something wrong with it in the return request. I felt I had to accept the return. She returned her trashy old bag instead of the purse I sold her. When I complained to ebay they allowed me to keep the money from the sale. As far as I know, she got her money back and kept my purse. About a month later she was kicked off of ebay. I wonder if she did it to someone else before they kicked her off.

I've also had people deliberately damage a bag just to force a return.

I'm pretty sure that is what she did, damaged it. Now I have to get it repaired. I am so upset. I can't continue selling on the bay if "the customer is always right", because they are not. This year so far, I have made over $9000 on eBay. I can take my business somewhere else.
 
Raven,
I am sorry to read you are going through this friend.
This is one of the reasons I stopped selling on Bay. I still buy, but mainly shoes. My feedback is about 2000.

My father tells me all the time that I have too much stuff and my free source doesn't help my habit. Yet, the thing with clothing like my mom used to say is that styles change so frequently.

I got frustrated with the bay mandating that sellers accept refunds for any reason. I also started finding stuff I wanted to keep and felt that the stuff that I was finding at my sources; I wouldn't probably see again for the same price.

I do have a lot of stuff, I would rather donate it or throw it in the dump then tale the abuse that the bay gives it's sellers.
