Ebay experts, help me find this dress?

Peri

I keep reading about Ebay success...I want some! I bought this dress new at BR about 3 or 4 years ago in a size 4 at the height of ill health, and outgrew it as soon as I was feeling better. Moral of the story: never think any extreme weight loss is here to stay. Actually, hope it isn't!

It is a great dress and I have never found another that worked nearly as well for me. Well, I was model thin, but I still think it was the dress itself that was very flattering. This one showing is a 6, but I really guess right now I would need an 8.

If you are great at Ebay, please give me some hints! Surely someone has an 8 they want to sell.

Since you know exactly what you want you can set up a search on eBay and select that it email you when a new item that fits your description comes onto the site.

I might start with a general search description like "Banana black dress" and see how many you get-if it's too many over time then you can get more specific in the wording.

Xtabay, no that's not it. I saw that one. The one I'm looking for has thin fake leather trim and is longer than that one. But thanks anyway.

BrieN, thanks, I've done that now. So I will get notices for every new thing that is close? That might do it!

I remember that dress. Shannon had the same one and it was dynamite on her. Hmmm. You have the style number, right? Maybe a search using that?

As a longtime EBay stalker, what works for me is to find the catagory and then the color and the first time, LOOK AT EVERY PICTURE. Yep, every one. So BR dress, then black. You can also specify sleeveless. The first time it is a pain but then I check every few days and sort by "newly listed". It is rare that I can't find a piece I want. A lot of people don't post their offerings correctly, like fabric content or even description. It takes a lot of work but you should be able to find it. And I am sure you know this but if it is something that doesn't get posted very often, grab it or someone else will. Good luck hunting!
