@Alan Newman A few things: First just because something costs a lot new - doesn't mean it is worth anything. There are lots of $500+ when new clothes out there that you can't get $10 for now. It depends on what today's buyer wants. Second there are lots of items that are vintage that do sell very well and for lots of money. They are the items today's buyers want. Third - lots of vintage shops "Pop Up" with high-priced vintage clothes. Lots of them don't last because they are SELLING items for high prices but they don't ACTUALLY SELL for those prices. Many of those shops quickly go out of business. Of course, there are very successful shops that have been selling high priced, vintage clothes for years and decades successfully. This is because these shops understand the vintage market and their customers and adjust as the market changes. And this is the same as Ebay - lots of people selling items for crazy prices, but what they are selling for is completely different. Resellers very basic need is to thoroughly know the difference between OFERRED PRICE and SOLD PRICE. What the CUSTOMER WANTS and what they will actually pay.
