A Buy It Now price of $199 was posted, with a Make an Offer option. I offered $144 and the price was accepted. For $9 shipping, I'm getting these four cashmere sweaters at $153, approximately $1650 off of original retail.
While $153 is quite a bit to spend, I had to think about the purchase in relative terms. Aside from saving $1650, I've found pieces that I would almost certainly not find in a thrift shop. The authenticity was guaranteed by a seller with perfect feedback and over one thousand sales. Also, $38.25 a sweater is even less than a Ralph cotton cable knit would cost at clearance.
Never underestimate the value of investment pieces, the staples of a wardrobe that might be hard to find but that one shouldn't do without.
Here's the entire lot. I can't wait for these to come in the mail.

Search thoroughly. Invest carefully.
Whoa, now that is the jackpot! Polo cashmere is amazing stuff, I only have one in lime green which I got for $40 on clearance at Saks but I've had it for years now and it just keep getting better. Great finds!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your find and saving $1600... that's definitely a find. As for me, back in March I bought a lot of Hagar suits,there was a total of 6 suits, 12 jackets, 2 pairs of pants and a vest. All of this, plus shipping, for under $300. Then I sold a few of the suits and jackets that didn't fit right or I didn't like color wise and broke almost even. E-bay can be really awesome.
ReplyDeletewow thats really a good find! and the colors are beautiful.
