Keep/Sell? J Brand Aidan BF Jeans

Found these for $1 - rare that I find anything at the flea market that is still up for sale on retail sites. Looks like I could get around $50-$70 for them on Ebay.

They are 100% cotton, lighter weight and less warm than my TR Cameron's, which might be nice for summer since I'm not as into short shorts as I used to be. Also full-length on me when unrolled. On the other hand, I do already have the Camerons and a dark wash Old Navy bf jean. ETA: Oops, also have the white TR bf jeans!

Sorry for the blurry bum shot. It's hard to take a pic of one's backside with this camera!

Yay = Keep. For a buck, save some wear and tear on the TRs.
Nay = Don't be greedy. Sell while you can still make the $.

Keep -- these look sensational on you... and for a $1?! I'm definitely voting keep.

Well, they look great! If you can use them, I say keep. If you feel like the money you would make off of them is of more use to you than the jeans, then I could see taking advantage of the deal. But they do look really good.

Well I am amazed that you found a super-hot trendy item, in your size, for a dollar and they fit! Can you wear them a few times in the next week or so to see if it's true love? They're already used, so I doubt it would devalue them any. Then if your feelings cool, you can sell them.

I'm no expert, but try over the shoulder for a back mirror shot.

For $1? I'd probably keep. If you think they will be languishing, then sell them!

I think these look FAB on you!! Your style, and the fit is spot on.

You wear jeans a lot, and these are terrific jeans. Yes, you could make a bit more on them on e-Bay. So, the question is, which is more useful to you right now? A super fab pair of jeans that both fits your style and you, or the money to put towards another purchase?

I personally would keep the jeans and enjoy wearing my steal.

These look amazing on you, Rae! I would listen to Thistle. What's more useful to you right now? But my hunch is keeping and wearing would be great!

The jeans look fab on you Rae. Denim is a big part of your style so if you think you'll wear them, then I would keep.

They look extremely comfortable and gorgeous on you. Unless the profit of a few bucks with the jeans sale helps you acquire a piece you've been eyeing for ages (but hvn't bought for financial reasons/guilt), my vote is for keeps, keeps, keeps.

I'd keep! They look great on you and at $1 it's too good of a bargain to let go. Well, unless there is something else you really really want instead.

I love them on you so the questions are, do you love all your other BFs more? Do you need this many pairs of BFs if you keep these? Do you have room to keep these? Do you have other things you need more than another pair of BFs that you could spend the money on? If you love these more than another pair, & you want the money instead of all these BFs, sell those ones instead of these.

Decide how many BF's you need or will really wear. If you could utilize another pair, keep. I mean, only $1 is like free pretty much. But if you are just fine with what you already have, turn that dollar into $60!
(I tried these in my ever long BF jean hunt and they didn't work on me at all. They seemed just big all over on me, and the material was weird. It was a dark, uniform wash, not at all light or distressed in any way like these. And I did pay around $60 off eBay NWT if I recall.)

I'd keep - if they are a lighter weight jean, you'll appreciate them as the weather warms up.

Oh yeah, keep! What a find!

Well, I am wearing these to fly in! It was way, way too warm tonight to walk to the bus stop in my fitted bootcuts, so I crammed those in the suitcase and threw these on instead, airport-germ-pregnable leg holes be damned. Taking your great advice to wear first and then decide. So far I like having them! A version of my precious TRs that I dont mind getting gross in.
