I have to say this about some of the sellers selling second hand and near new clothes particularly sportscraft.
Some of the clothes have gone around the block more times than me and some of the prices are amazingly high.
Not to mention an iron wouldn't helped.
"Yes" I hear you say you don't have to buy them, well there are 4 eBay Id's in this household all eBay mad. (or used to be)
I think some or most of these clothes need to go vinnies.
You can actually buy new, off there website at a better price on sale.

Just think of who's been in those clothes and what they'd done in them...
I agree there are sellers being very ambitious on some items but listed items at a certain price doesn't mean they will sell at that price either.
And let's not forget some buyers will buy on eBay because they live a long way from shops or don't have time to go shopping.
This is probably the main reason items on eBay sometimes sell for more than retail. Convenience.

I think in the past some sellers would have been more likely to get the higher prices because people only had the stores or the second hand shops as opposition.
These days, as you mentioned, the actual brand name clothes often have their own websites and sales section.
Many years back, we used to sell. Even then, we found only good brands got a lot of interest. These days I would not sell clothes unless they were good brands in excellent condition.
Yes, i hear you about ironing. It seems to be a dying art. To me, it spells a lack of care, a bit of sloppiness when things arrive washed but unironed. Often they are photographed like that for the ad. Hardly shows them at their best!
I sometimes buy bundles of clothes for the grandkids. Some have arrived in absolutely impeccable order, beautifully folded & ironed.
A couple arrived crumpled but obviously clean & still in excellent condition. The condition is the main thing as far as i am concerned though, not the ironing. The item has to be as advertised.
If you get something advertised as being like new or excellent condition & it definitely isn't, then you are entitled to open a dispute for not as described.
Other than that, do as I now do for adult clothes-stick to the real stores or the brand name sites.

I recall one bundle that was Thomas the Tank engine & wiggle T shirts. Some unused. I'm hoping nothing much happened in them!
They looked brilliant anyway, unworn. Worse things have happened to them since, I am sure!
