Lolita Desu Lucky Pack?

Jul 05, 2015 11:32

Hi! ^^ I know a number of lolitas purchase from lolita desu for second hand items that they can't find but I was wondering if any of you have bought the lucky packs from there? I'm really intrested in the lolita lucky pack. It seems like you will get a better outcome than most lucky packs since they ask for all your measurements, what brands you ( Read more... )

Here's the thing. Luckypacks are used by brands as a way to get rid of merchandise that just won't sell. They mark it down to the absolute lowest they will accept and push it out the door. If you like 90% of what the brand makes, then it's a quick way to get items in new condition for waaay less then you would ever get them on sale. (Basically new items for used prices).

With a second hand shop, they paid a certain price for each item they have. They then add a profit margin and resell. A lucky pack from a second hand shop is going to contain items that they can't recoup their initial investment on (aka things that won't sell, or that they over paid for).

So the logic is that if they lower the item price to market value, they will lose money. So to avoid losing money, they blind bag it and sell it at whatever the lowest is that they are willing to sell it at.

It's probably not the best deal you could possibly get, and I personally would never buy one.
