I would buy it, though ebay can be a bit hit and miss. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-in-or-out-of-this-ebay-auction#post-418917 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 01:50:08 +0000 nicoleb 418917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Holy crap really? I better start watching what i say more @_@ Thanks for the tip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-in-or-out-of-this-ebay-auction#post-418912 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 01:46:21 +0000 Mo 418912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am here! That top is great. I would NEVER undercut someone else's prey they are stalking! But there are a lot of lurkers - 150,000 different people sign on a month, according to the Seattle Times article this last Sunday. So I would protect your interests in future posts. Just to be safe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-in-or-out-of-this-ebay-auction#post-418909 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 01:42:44 +0000 nicoleb 418909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Mo! If you come back here and read this i keep running into that BHFO seller you told me about! I also have my eye on this:</p> <p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/290607351041?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&#038;_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/290607.....1423.l2649</a></p> <p>(you guys aren't going to bid up the auctions i'm watching right? haha)</p> <p>Rae - i'm going shopping this Saturday with my future sister in law and mother in law to help them look for wedding stuff so hopefully i will be able to find the perfect cropped....whatever! Tuxedo-blazer-jacket perfection. I"m going to try and remember to bring the dress along too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-in-or-out-of-this-ebay-auction#post-418908 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 01:42:17 +0000 rae 418908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, wait until more come out. Unless you need something right away for that wedding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-in-or-out-of-this-ebay-auction#post-418905 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 01:35:53 +0000 Mo 418905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this! First, it matches measurements of one you have that fits, second they take returns. On the other hand, $50 is a little high but it is a brand item . . . hmmm. No telling if a pre-worn item has bare patches on elbows, etc. If you have lots of brick and mortar shopping available, I would look in-store first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-in-or-out-of-this-ebay-auction#post-418903 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 01:31:49 +0000 nicoleb 418903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are totally right Annagybe. Velvet is all over the place in winter, apparently i had forgotten. &gt;.&gt; I'm going to wait then until i can try on and see more options.</p> <p>Thanks also Nancylee! You make good points!</p> <p>Love this board. What would i do without you guys? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-in-or-out-of-this-ebay-auction#post-418902 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 01:31:06 +0000 nancylee 418902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd be careful about buying a blazer on Ebay since fit can be so tricky and the return process can be difficult. I think if you hold out you'll be able to find something later at a similar price point.</p> <p>Save your money for some crazy fun now....the perfect blazer is out there still. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-in-or-out-of-this-ebay-auction#post-418900 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 01:28:52 +0000 annagybe 418900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think this particular jacket is suitable for you. It's very early in the season. Velvet normally comes out heavily closer to the holidays. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-in-or-out-of-this-ebay-auction#post-418894 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 01:20:30 +0000 nicoleb 418894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In an attempt to add more "basics that are not basic" to my wardrobe i've been considering a velvet blazer. I have a regular black blazer in my closet already, but i enjoy velvet and thought it would be nice to have a staple and add texture in one shot. </p> <p>So far i've liked this one the best:<br /> <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/180709394741?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&#038;_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/180709.....1423.l2649</a></p> <p>I haven't taken the plunge yet because....<br /> 1. it's hard for me to buy blazers/jackets online without trying them on. But i did compare measurements on the blazer i already own and they seem to match up.<br /> 2. i was trying to take a break from shopping<br /> 3. even though i like this blazer, if i'm going to spend the money it's hard for me to buy this rather then something crazy fun.</p> <p>What do you guys think? Buy or do you think i can find something in this price point in stores? </p>
