Thread: The awful uncertainty of Buy It Now

  1. Oh yeah! I was right about BR!!
    I hope your progeny wears it in good health. And that they work somewhere else.

    Isn't it kind of refreshing to have a grail cost less than $150?

    HAHA. Oh yes! When I was chasing Sesame Street finger puppets it wasn't fair. I had a MOC Mego collector's mentality, it was like taking an elephant gun to a water pistol fight.

    I was going over my records of purchases for this BR collection from last year. I don't regret a single one, I love it all. That's a good collection.

    What's nice is that the clothes at least have some practical value, too. Do you wear them, or are they all sealed in custom acrylic cases?

    I wear what fits (vintage sizes--oh my, a size large is not what it used to be) and what isn't tagged. Most of the collection is catalogs and bags and things like that, but I have a bush jacket I love and a growing collection of hats I enjoy.

    They also issued repros of some of their vintage t-shirts in modern sizes.

    That's pretty cool. Glad you got it.

    This is a vintage 1980's Banana Republic store employee vest.
    Aw dude, C'mon! .... that's kinda.... Totally awesome!!!
    I mean I have to imagine putting this in Disneyana terms would be like picking up a 20,000 Leagues Nautilus Sub Uniform.

    Personally, and I'm not even joking here, I have been on the lookout for a 1980's polyester Bojangles fast food crew shirt. They were yellow, orange and purple embroidered bowling shirts. Totally classy.
    I never worked there, but if it was legal to marry a spicy chicken filet biscuit? I'd be changing states.

    I have experienced that BIN that you just described. One of those things that is obscure and you may be the only one to buy it, but don't want to risk someone else taking it. I just go ahead and Buy it and don't look back. What I do find completely strange with sellers using a BIN feature is finding that they have an item that I am interested in but their price is way off the mark. I generally will send them a nice email, let them know what they have, and the price. I then will tell them that if it doesn't sell; my offer would stand and contact me. Many times, sellers will simply stick their guns and state that they won't reduce their price only to find out that they reduce their price and sell it for a price lower than my offer.

    I got my vest, it's awesome. The seller knew it was special and the price was right on the money. If they had been asking $300 it'd be a different story. At $145 it was reasonable that someone else would have grabbed it. Now it's MINE, ALL MINE!
