Tips for Buying Apparel and Accessories at Online Auctions
My nieces Peanut, Ketchy and Duncan go crazy for Hardtail and Juicy. My super savvy sister is not a zillionaire nor is she completely crazy so she was unwilling to even consider buying designer label clothes for them to wear to school. At least not at anything close to full price. Ever a resourceful woman, she turned to online auctions – with great success. She generally saves about 50% and sometimes even more. There are tons of reputable vendors on the auctions sites selling authentic merchandise at significantly less than bricks and mortar retail. Give it a try – you have nothing to lose, especially if you follow these savvy tips for buying brand name clothing at on online auction:
- Do your research first. Know what the logos, tags, trims and stitching look like on the items you plan to buy.
- Buy from sellers who are rated highly by other buyers.
- Look for a guarantee of authenticity. Most reputable sellers will back this up with a return policy.
- Avoid sellers from the Philippines, Hong Kong and other countries where counterfeiting is rampant.
- Look for products that are new with tags (NWT).
- Pay with a credit card or payment service.
