How Much For That J.Crew Jacket? {eBay edition}

It's no secret that I like to check out eBay to find pieces from J.Crew's past to round out my collection.

Tonight I saw one listing that caught my eye. Now, I have seen some of J.Crew's past season items being sold for two or three times it's original retail price. But this one particular listing took the prize for being the most expensive.

That is right, the mint jacket is being sold at a starting bid of $3,499! I am assuming the seller made a decimal mistake ($34.99 seems like a better starting price). But nonetheless, I chuckled at seeing this. I mean, I love J.Crew too. But not this much! ;)

    Haha! It's pre-owned, too, adding to the value. :)

    How?! Don't they charge fees based on how much your listing price is? Maybe this was during one of those "List everything for free" promos! ;)

    It's down to $51 now. Maybe it was a strategy to attract attention. It worked; there are several bids on it already.

    Benefit of the doubt, it was probably a pricing mistake.

    J.Crew's done that before, with their $2500 sequin long skirts, $1000 puffer jackets, and the $795 leather tee.

    At least that reseller had the decency to fix the mistake and not leave it as a mistake like jcrew does.
