The Great (Weekly) Exchange

This post (of weekly posts) is for individual members who want to swap/sell/share among yourselves. This post is where you can mention your items and outside listing/ auction site (like eBay and eCrater & the corresponding user ID). Please note: this posting is not for resellers.

Individual members can also request in this post, items that they are looking for and interested in buying. :)

Please note that any transactions are independent of this blog. (Especially since you will be using an outside listing/ auction site like eBay or eCrater.) I have no dealings or interactions with any of the potential communication, listings, or transactions. :) Moreover, please limit comments about items to swap/sell/share to the "Great (Weekly) Exchange" posts. (Refer to "A Quick Note to J.Crew Aficionadas" post.)

Do you have any items you would like to swap/sell/share among yourselves through your outside listing/auction site? Is there an item (or items) that you are looking for and interested in purchasing?

  1. I know it's a long shot but I have a pair of grey/white tweed flats with a green velvet ribbon around the edge that I bought two years ago. I absolutely love them and have worn them out. Does anyone still have any of those somewhere...somehow? Size 7 or 7 1/2 :)

  4. Anonymous @ 8:12 AM - The owner of this blog is an educator who also has a family. I believe she sometimes travels for work and has also moved a couple of times in the past few months. In short, the blog is a hobby. I'll leave it at that and not get too defensive on her behalf since I love and appreciate what she's created here.

  8. Random question - has anyone booked a personal shopper appointment yet? I'm wondering if I will be able to buy part of the items in the store, then order the items over the phone that the store doesn't carry and still receive a 20% discount.

    Thanks!

  11. Wow, anonymous. This is supposed to be a fun site and yet we have comments like yours. The previous poster you referred to as d.a. did state "...most of the time daily." MOST. It's unfortunate you had to make such an uncouth comment. I have seen something posted almost every single day. Sometimes there 2 or 3 posts on a given day. Gosh, it's a fan website, for heaven's sake. I save my frustrations for something BIG, like the sub prime loan financial debacle or dealing with insurance companies while one's mother is dying from cancer. Then perhaps, for that, I may be inclined to use d.a. Relax. Have a good week.

  12. anon at 8:12: In defense of Alexis...this blog IS updated daily with new articles. You must realize that this is one individuals blog in which she kindly lets us all participate. Since she is the owner, she decides when and what articles to post. Most of us here are grateful that she takes a large portion of her time to dedicate to this "hobby" of ours. In addition to posting/writing the articles, she has guest bloggers like FFM who give reviews and create wardrobe combinations. I think you'll find there are plenty of new articles if you check back regularly. Hope that helps!! Have a great week!!

  13. I haven't posted for a while (back to school for teachers!), but I just wanted to say "Thank You" to Alexis for giving us a place to discuss, debate, and share all things J.Crew. You are comprehensive, timely, and you really take into account the interests of the posters. J.Crew should be giving you some stock for free right now!

    Thank you for your genteel and classy voice. You set the tone for respectful communicating, and it is unfortunate when those standards aren't applied by all.

    Keep up the amazing and appreciated work!

  14. Anony@8:12 was just trying to get people upset...such a shame they don't have better things to do than to post nasty things and upset people needlessly. I wish they would use their time and energy to benefit society not upset it:)

  22. Hi all,
    I have a heather nut herringbone Bella size 10 on ebay, item # 330276236068, and my ID is aleedee22. It's a real one, I got it from the woman in the Philippines, but it just didn't quite do it for me, unfortunately. Hopefully it can find a nice home with another Aficionada!

  25. jillian - I just got the rosette cashmere cardigan at the Reston, VA store. They had a whole shipment of them 1-2 weeks ago. I know for sure they had the light orange color (not pictured online or in the spring catalog). It's closer to a light tangerine. It's soooo soft! It's very snug fitting and cropped, so size accordingly.

    When I bought mine, they were offering 40% off final sale items, so I got my cashmere rosette for $48. Give them a call - they probably still have some in stock.

    ReplyDelete
  26. jillian, i saw rosette cardigans at J. Crew at Rockefeller center. I'm not sure which color the carrot is since i've seen this sweater in two shades of orange, dark and a lighter color. I saw the lighter color at the J. Crew at Rockefeller about two weeks ago.

    ReplyDelete
  27. 3-Penny Princess, I called the reston store and they have the orange cashmere rossette caridgan, but it's still full price at $188.

    Sorry, I am not selling my Bella Jacket. I am selling my Bella COAT. Here are a couple of links for the Bella Coat and Gramercy Coat that I may be willing to part with. I truly have way too many coats even when living in Canada. lol

  48. 3-Penny: When I used the Personal Shopper discount in August, it was applied to both my in-store and the orders my PS placed by phone for me. In fact, my PS made sure that catalogue was clear that I was to receive the 20% on those orders.

  49. I have a pair of Navy Broken-in Chino sneakers (http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/MensBrowse/Men_Shop_By_Category/shoes/sneakers/PRDOVR~94984/99101481691/94984.jsp) that I ordered on a whim while on sale. They're size 9 and just don't fit me particularly well. If anyone is interested in them for the $20 I paid plus shipping, I'd be happy to get my money back out of them. They're in perfect condition, never worn (other than to try them on in my apt).

    ReplyDelete
  50. Thanks. I found my floral ruffle Astrid...but has anyone heard of stores charging $15.50 to ship???? even though I have bought sale items from stores and had them mailed never had to pay more than $8 flat rate from NY to IL or $5.99 flat rate from NC to IL

    Each store is very different.

  58. Hello all,

    I have 2 items, they are not on Ebay but I would love to sell to an Aficionada:

    --NWT City Fit Buttery Twill Trouser pants, Soft Graphite, Size 12R, $26 shipped

    --NWOT Wool Cheshire Jacket Tomato Herringbone Size 12, satin ribbon at neck, $129 shipped. Here's a link to this jacket:

    http://www.kaboodle.com/reviews/herringbone-cheshire-jacket

    I LOVE this jacket but I wore it twice and have to admit it doesn't fit me. It is in brand new condition. It is perfect going into fall and winter/holiday.

    I in fact am looking for this jacket in an 8 maybe 10 if anyone knows where one is!:)

    Please email me at pomslipscomb *at* yahoo *dot* com with JCrew in the subject line with any questions, we can do payments through paypal:)

    Thanks!

  59.  I have the chiffon rose t in an XL in black, I wore it twice. I washed it inside out, in a lingerie bag, on gentle cycle and line dried and it came out just fine. The care tag says to wash or dry clean (not dry clean only as some have thought). I am seriously considering selling it as I just don't think it is my style. I paid full price and shipping. Is anyone interested and want to make an offer before I sell it on eBay?

    I did a quick look on eBay and saw some have sold for upwards of $150. Crazy!

    ReplyDelete
  60. Melanie - You might try eBay for cotton cady dresses. I think I have seen many of them there as of late and at good prices.

    HariboBear - It's me that wanted the Cheshire, but the size 2 will be too small. I think I need a 4 or 6P.

  61. I meant to say that I laid flat to dry, not line dried with the rose chiffon t.

  66. This is for a, you were interested in the giraffe day coat I have in size 12. Let me know if you still are. I LOVE it, I just really need a 14. If you are between sizes, this coat is better to go up if you have broad shoulders, and I do. So give me a post back and we can connect. If not, anyone else interested before it hits ebay? :) I did get it for 40% off, but had to pay tax and (ridiculous) shipping so the total is just over $100. We'll have to figure out shipping. Thanks!

  67. I have the Sea Glass Piper Tank in a size 4 NWTs up for grabs. I did iron it on low just to get the creases out and see how it looked and fit. I just don't like to wear the brighter colors but it is so pretty that I think someone should wear it! I do not have the plastic bag that it was shipped in anymore, but the tags are in tact. It does fit more like a 6 as others have mentioned.

    I think I saw it on the website at $69.99 which is what I bought it for (plus tax and shipping). I will sell it for $60.00 shipped.

    Please email me at: jetp4@msn.com
    if you are interested.

  68. Just wanted everyone to know I am selling a Jamie Bag- The one in calf-skin leather with the tassels. It is in burnt sienna and is brand new with tags. I never even took it out of the bag. My mother bought it for me in Gray and I'm keeping that color. You can check it out on ebay if you type in Jcrew Jamie bag. I am selling it for buy-it-now at 470.00. If anyone wants to buy if here I'll give them first dibs, since I gotta show love to my fellow aficionadas.

  70. Hi ladies,
    I have a pewter skinny mirror metallic belt (size M) available. It has been sold out online and in stores and I got it on ebay. I love it, but sadly (very sadly), it doesn't fit.

    It is a beautiful pewter color and is NOT the foil metallic belt that just hit stores.

    I paid $51 on ebay (with shipping). I would just like to get my money back, but I will pay to ship it to you. So, I'm asking $51 OBO.

    If you're interested, please email me at stephanie.marty@gmail.com. Thanks!
