How To Take The Shock Value Out Of Purchasing Designer Items

Did you know when you shop at upscale resale shops many of the items are barley worn or never worn?  Thats true and I can speak on this subject firsthand.  Why is that you ask yourself?  Simple when you shop at high-end resale shops you are shopping the discards of lots of people with disposable incomes. Shopping is fun and they can afford to purchase many items.   For many  people shopping is a full-time job and that can be used to your advantage.  They take the shock value out of purchasing high-end items which means you can go to the bank on that and look fashionable at the same time.

How To Pick The Right Items When Resale Shopping

Have you ever gone into a resale shop and thought what am I doing here? The key to smart resale shopping is going to a store or shopping online with someone that knows how to pick the right merchandise.  Just because its in a resale shop doesnt mean its a good deal.  Try to remember when resale shopping to shop for classics that never go out of style.  Look in the latest fashion magazines for ideas on how to update your wardrobe, then when you shop resale you will have an idea what is in style for the season.  If your shopping resale and they cant guarentee authenticity dont buy it, only shop with reputable resale shops that stand behind their merchandise.

Right there that one piece of advice will save you tons of money.  We should feel confident and at ease when we purchase high-end items. That hasnt always been the case for me.  I have purchased way too many things without giving it much thought.  The next time you are going to purchase an expensive item at full price, or as I say (fools price) make sure you are smiling and feeling confident when you leave the store!  Oh and check the return policy Lol.

Shopping Smarter

When purchasing a high-end handbag the first most important factor is the brand, certain brands retain more value than others for instance Gucci will bring in more money than Tory Burch.  Louis Vuitton will bring in more money than Michael Korrs. Why is this? Women want the Designer brands these are very hot on the resale market.  Women that are used to wearing designer items are not going to stop they are just going to find another way to purchase them cheaper.  Also ladies original packaging and receipts and tags are a big factor in how much money you will get back.  Sometimes up to 30% more no kidding,.  If you would like suggestions on bags that retain value let me know. www.cashcloset.net
