17 High-End Fashion Steals On eBay You Won’t Want To Miss

Whoever says you can’t afford high-end designers clearly never tried their hand at eBay. It’s got this stigma — this indelible, tragic, AOL dial-up type of stigma — that’s brought about a collective wariness towards it. When I tell people about my affection for eBay, questions and exclamations I’m usually met with are, “But how do you know if it’s real?” “I’m too lazy to sift through 30 pages of eBay clothes,” or, my favorite, “How did you find that??!!” I’ll have you know it was actually fairly easy. Perhaps a detailed list of my winnings will help clear up these concerns. I’ve gotten a $3000 Christopher Kane dress for $200, $600 new Prada shoes for $80, Repettos for $20, a Prada silk jacket for $70 and a Proenza Schouler dress for $100. I’ve graduated to what I like to call EBay Elitism, where I regularly laugh haughtily at people who pay full price for clothes and accessories. I laugh haughtily and then I roll my eyes when I watch them type “boots” into eBay’s search bar, as if that’s a narrow enough search to yield any positive results! I’ve seen it all: the “single shoe” purveyors that mystify me to no end, the woeful sellers who think that their broken Chanel sunglasses are still worth something and the relentless ways in which sellers conjure up synonyms for “rad dress!” (“Instant hotness,” “music-festival-chic,” “boho babe,” and “effortless off-duty model cool,” to name just a few.)
Don’t say I never did anything for you.
