I find such nice stuff but I feel SO gay. Only new w/ tags, of course I'm not a skank :D

Forget feeling gay. I'd worry about what diseases you get free with your purchase!!

Why buy clothes on ebay? Don't you want to try before you buy?
Get your a$$ down to the mall and pick up some good stuff instead. Chicks like that ;)

i usually buy most of my clothes on eBay... diesel pants for 50% off, and retro lacoste shirts go for about $10. :)

if you *really* don't like buying second hand clothes off eBay, eBay sells gift cards to retail clothes stores for really cheap..

i got a $180 Structure gift card with 3 15%-off coupons for about $110. (so i got about $210 worth for $110 for you non-math-whizzes)

That's what I thought at first, but then realized he's posting here so he can't be a hobo, and if he was a poor gay person he would have been flamed and attacked till he left in heaps of tears. :p

Anyway... no, I would not buy clothes off any online store, let alone ebay.

I heard that people would shoplift from the mall, and just sell on ebay... new clothes, costing the stealer nothing......

Perhaps you are supporting shoplifing.

But then, if you wanna pick a bone, goto the LA garmet place...I highly doubt Structure sells clothes in those shacks...or its fake, blah.

Let the buyer beware I guess.

Probably 10% of all new items sold on eBay is shoplifted, doesn't just apply to clothes :p

One word, Scabies

from some google link:


Scabies is spread by personal contact, e.g., by shaking hands or sleeping together or by close contact with infected articles such as , clothing, bedding or towels.

I've purchased hockey jerseys off ebay(new w/tags), but never tshirts, jeans, or stuff like that. Don't plan to.

My little brother sells a lot of clothes on Ebay. He's really into the latest and greatest styles, so Ebay allows him to get rid of older styles and get items from the new season. Plus, he's gotten stuff at big discounts before, since he and his friends have worked in stores/boutiques around NY. So, he's probably not losing too much.
