Oh yes, lol, got a few private messages, so if I don't accept offers because I am listing low, somebody thinks that they should get the item less than 1/10th of the listing price and they get very upset if you tell them you are listing low, that is why you switched off offers and you certainly aren't willing to sell an expensive designer item for an insultingly low price. The really crazy thing is, they usually have a ton of cheaper quality items for high prices. I think I simply stop replying. Loewe seems to be very popular today, and the offers are so "generous" that you wonder if you ended up at a bazaar somewhere
After their first half-price offer I politely tell them "no, thanks". But then I keep getting "but your price is higher than x's price or y's price, so your price is too high". So I suggest they buy it from x or y then. That's when the insults come out.
If they tell me that they have seen it for a lower price, I tell them that I am very happy for them and that I hope they are happy with the item they are getting, my price is stated, but at the moment they aren't even making half price offers, totally nuts, brand new coat I bought for 3800 last November as winter coat, but never wore it, new with tags, I have it up for 400 (which is not bad price) and somebody is bombarding me with "55"
Yes, that is my trick, add an euro to my asking price so when they come back with their famous and infallible algorithm, I just reduce it and voilá, your item gets accepted and posted
Yes, go to the list of your items for sale and you decide which items you want to accept offers.
Thanks, I switched it off and lowered the prices. Hoping for a more peaceful life now... 
A sort of charcoal Fendi coat with a little bit of a pattern almost the same as they are doing this year with the Prince of Wales check, but this year they use a drawstring waist and the mine still had the solid belt, but it has a cashmere lining and since Covid in February, my allergies are off the scale, so I didn't want to risk it. Oddly enough, shortly after complaining, decided to put it on HEWI for 1K and set the minimum offer I am taking to 600 (thought I can always lower the price), they actually accepted and put it up within 5 minutes of me listing, and it was barely up when somebody bought it for 800, packed it up and sent with next day delivery and then gleefully told the lowballer that I sold it for twice somewhere else, before yanking it. I did enjoy that!!!!!
What kind of coat and which size are looking for? I can give you a shout if I put another one up. I do love my coats but they take up so much room, and since I really have to reduce stuff (I am being totally brutal what I pack up for France and what I put on VC). I used to have a lot of business meetings, but since Covid, that doesn't happen much anymore, so I am totally stripping down.

They will come at you in private messages, or leaving messages under the items... I kind of repeat the same message until they get tired "Thank you, not accepting offers"
That's great your sale went so smoothly in the end.
I'm not really sure what I want to be honest, def. something high quality, preferably some cashmere in there. I'm thinking black but open to other colors. Size Medium (UK10/12). And preferably not too long, I'm not a fan of the maxi coat trend.
I am only 5'4 so the maxi coat doesn't work too well as tripping over spoils the look, but I am not much of a fan of the super short coats, tbh anything above the knee is a jacket and not a coat... When it comes to coats, yes, black and darker colours seem like good options. Mind you I did make the mistake of venturing out today and forcibly had to stop myself from the most beautiful Brunello Cuccinelli coat in silk velvet, luckily it was a silvery shade, with black I might have been lost, despite reminding myself that any drop of rain would ruin it, it just felt and looked so lush. Btw there are some Chloe cape coats about that are out of this world, took all my self restraint.
But yes, I was totally delighted, to be honest, the repeat "55" offers no matter what you said had me biting my nails to not say "Check your local charity store, I don't think you are ready for designer"

I was sceptical about direct shipping too but so far about 12 direct sell went ok. 2 of them buyer claimed something, I dont know detail but they told me it was just „technical issue” ( once item was claim problems 1 days before buyer actually received the item). What I do is I actually film the item condition with close details ( in case they make spot on my item that was not there before) I can proove I sent it clean + all film in 1 continious shot including taping parcel and showing shipping label where is going to => I put same day in youtube visible for me so i can send them link with proof when video was posted in youtube ( not later). if all ok with item I will delete the video. So far so good
So since proclaiming I'm looking for a darker coat I ordered a beige Joseph cashmere coat.
It is relatively long and elegant but I'm 5'8 and it will hopefully work. I am however on the lookout for a darker coat as well.So since proclaiming I'm looking for a darker coat I ordered a beige Joseph cashmere coat.
I know... I am usually not a Zara fan, but last year bought one of their capes, since the Zara dressing rooms are totally horrible, I didn't try it on, cape, what can go wrong, right.... Then planned to wear it as it was a cold day, turned round to grab the handbag I had on left on the 1st floor, fell flat on my face, the cape was too long with any stairs. Recently put it on VC, was bought up really quickly, the lady in question is 6' and delighted to have a long one, DHL picked up the parcel today.
I wish I was taller, I totally love the shearling coats, but they are really thick, with my height, it is far too easy to look like a little square box.
