Not a bad demo to market to - disposable incomes and all that! hehe<BR/><BR/>And yes I agree that marketing and presentation are key with these sellers, and they have their model down pat!Mitzi - Vintage Goodnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07739509843704841791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382483379988993785.post-770578743856946322009-02-23T14:12:00.000-05:002009-02-23T14:12:00.000-05:00Love the Article- I sell on ebay as well and have ...Love the Article- I sell on ebay as well and have often wondered how these gals get so much for their stuff- MARKETING and they make the clothing relevant- It is no different than what is featured in Catalogs on models and you buy the piece, get it and put it on and YUK!!! It doesn't fit the same on my size 14 frame as it did on the models size 0 frame.<BR/><BR/>These sellers are masters at Marketing and presentation.<BR/><BR/>Incidently, I showed these photos to my dd aged 15 and 17 without any explanation. They said,"I would so wear this and this..", "Not that but it is cute...", "I would wear this if I lived in New York", "I can see Lady GaGa in that". And on it went. I would like to know the demographics of those buyers of those clothes.<BR/>Thanks for the post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382483379988993785.post-51592326517762770942009-02-07T13:42:00.000-05:002009-02-07T13:42:00.000-05:00Ha!

It really does take hard work and not a small amount of dedication to get the following these sellers have. Wish I could be them! Hey, I don't mind selling things I don't like. '70s I love. '80s, not so much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382483379988993785.post-42855277373430922382009-02-04T12:00:00.000-05:002009-02-04T12:00:00.000-05:00This is a hilarious post.

I've definitely been watching these vintage clothing sellers on ebay and feeling a mix of emotion - a little eye rolling, a little jealousy/admiration - and now I'm trying to recruit some modelesque friends (oh, but my friends smile every now and then and don't contort themselves into 90 degree angles) so I can sell some of this stuff too! ;)<BR/><BR/>thehiddenlibrary.blogspot.comFlimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02906485767752391643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382483379988993785.post-72350625215477674112009-02-02T12:46:00.000-05:002009-02-02T12:46:00.000-05:00I agree...when I think back to 80's style, I am re...I agree...when I think back to 80's style, I am reminded of the things my mom wore, and how I thought they were so UGLY! Now, everybody is wearing them b/c they are "vintage."
