Love for fur Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Ok, so what's special about this garment they sell? It's over 10 000 £/$/€. I'm pretty sure that a retailer could sell this coat at that price but these auctions from this seller usually never ends up higher than 2500 for in my opinion equally nice coats. So am I missing something here or is just (minimum) two people very willing to buy this coat? https://www.ebay.com/itm/PLATINUM-FOX-FUR-LONG-COAT-CLAS-CHINCHILLA-RUSSIAN-SABLE-MINK-SILVER-JACKET-LYNX-/382260592859?&_trksid=p2056016.m2516.l5255 Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul2809 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Ive seen similar fura sell for way less than that price.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furrymare Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Seems somebody has bought it for that high price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTheNightKnight Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Seems somebody has bought it for that high price "Ah! I'll buy it at a high price!" - Merchant, Resident Evil 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 That is an insanely high price for that coat. I can with almost certainty say that I could get that same coat custom made at my local furrier for less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozfurlova Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Looking at the bid history, I'd hazard a guess the winning bidder has accidentally stuck in a bid of GBP25,000 instead of GBP2,500 - why someone has then come along and placed 16 consecutive bids to drive the price up from 2,850 to 11,050 in the last hour or so of the listing seems incredibly strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elbas3175 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I've seen this kind of weird bidding pattern many times with this seller. I suspect them of bidding on their own items, driving the prices up. I doubt anyone has bought the coat, and I would t be surprised if you see it re-listed.

The tag spamming is a mess. At least the starting price is reasonable this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxette Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I agree...it will show up again in a few days to be resold. Many of the eBay furriers do this repeatedly. I am not sure if it is exactly shill bidding, which is against eBay policy, or not, but there is something strange that goes on at many of the sellers, as all the furs that show up again after being "sold" cannot be returns.

sethsable Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I have also suspected this seller of bidding on their own coats. But I think they make identical coats, if one style sells at a high price a very similar coat will be up for biding in a few days after the auction. I have bought a coat and seen the same one for sale a week later, same photos. The platinum fox that sold for that crazy price is a mistake or the seller is bidding themselves to drive up the price and interest. Like having a lineup for a half empty nightclub.

Nexii Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Shill bidding or not their prices usually seem pretty decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfur1 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I have been watching many of there auctions and I agree that the final sale price is decent. having said that I too believe they are bidding on there own items. I think if I do decide to bid (want to get a sable for my wife) I will put in a max bid around what I have seen previous similar items have sold for. Like anything else you have to do your home work.

lynxette Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I agree with the fact that they may be making new replacements for some furs, but most of their coats that show up repeatedly are listed as used, so they cannot be replaced by new.

I Just Love Fur Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 All I can say is that I enjoy the pictures and they are quite popular on Tumblr. I have never attempted to purchase anything from them. Also note that some Chinese eBay sellers are starting to use the same pictures in marketing their garments as well.
