    Depop is so good. It's incredible how many pieces of clothing worth thousands of dollars you can find for just $100 or less!

    I mean just look at all these totally authentic clothes being sold at less than 10% their usual value! https://www.depop.com/search/?q=vetements

    With other brands you'll find that most of the products on depop are from super secret completely unreleased collections, and have never been seen anywhere outside of depop https://www.depop.com/search/?q=loro+piana It's just an incredible opportunity!

      It's an absolute steal!

        The funniest thing is how many people actually buy this stuff. High-end streetwear communities are constantly spammed by fools seriously asking if the item they bought from depop at below 10% resale prices is authentic.

        Clowns will buy extremely niche streetwear items like these https://www.depop.com/products/maxisepic-blue-jeans-with-mul... knowing very well that the real ones are reselling for upwards of $30k and then waste the time of people online asking them to "legit check" their garbage.

    I was surprised eBay had the cash on hand for this. Will be interesting to see how it goes.
