The OMG! They want HOW much for that bag/scarf/shawl/accessory???? Thread

But scammers put fake bags in real boxes. In that case "investing" $ 190 in a box will get them a couple of grand profit. Good deal for them also.
Unfortunately true, as we are all well aware on this forum — glad we have knowledgeable people such as Babaebi around. My comment was a joke about buying the box on its own with no afterthought ;)

Your comment was funny, there was absolutely nothing wrong with that. I didn't assume that you didn't know this but since this is a public forum, people might bump into this via some search engine, might lack awareness and sell their boxes.
 
Fashionphile's prices over the last month+ have been ridiculous for new listings. Look at this scarf! I own it, in these colors, but mine match the Hermès site colors, not whatever is going on in the FP scarf's colors. FP wants over $100 more for this scarf than the one currently for sale on Hermès' own site. Boggles the mind. Even with taxes it is cheaper to get from Hermès than FP's listed price :shocked: screenshots taken minutes apart tonight.

The seller is in Japan. I checked the prices for their other Hermes scarves. They’re pretty normal (for a reseller). I have to believe they did the wrong currency conversion.

But wait!! There’s another one. And it says “sold” on the picture! Oops! :giggle:

A 90 scarf - Japanes sellers are a law onto themselves when it comes to ambitious pricing https://www.ebay.com/itm/203524428095?hash=item2f6300513f:g:fOIAAOSwWFZg7cNH


I have been wondering about pricing on scarves in the last 6-9 months. It used to be that you could get great pricing through the Japanese sellers. Now it seems they are all near or over retail. Another observation is that current season pieces are listing for over retail. I wonder if resellers are buying up new scarves and marking them up...
