God I hope nobody is stupid enough to buy this from this person.

went to this zoomer ita’s tiktok and the cutsew is stained, but she’s only posted long shots and is describing it as “like new”…

Why would you ever include photographic evidence of you absolutely destroying a dress when you're trying to sell it?

>>10829344
I like it when people show they've stretched it out. That way I can avoid buying.

>>10829325
>bunny blouse thing
yes, this is totally a person a want to make a deal with. If you are selling something online try to word it somewhat professionally instead of trying to come of as quirky. It makes you look incompetent

I blocked someone because they keep trying to lowball me on dresses. I got tired after the 7th one. $20 lower than what I'm asking is a joke.

>>10829868
How is $20 less low balling? Unless you were already pricing stuff super cheap

>>10829344
no bc if I didn't see that pic I'd actually might have bought it
the way the you wouldn't even have known that it was shirred if you just see the picture of her is disgusting sorry

For the low low price of 110 pounds, these could be yours.

>>10829875
Yeah around $60 to $70 was what I have things listed for so $20 is lowballing it.

>>10829936
$20 less***

>>10829933

>>10829868
These itas have some audacity with their lowball offers. I had someone offer me $75 for a nwt ap jsk I was selling.

$550 starting bid for damaged Moitie

I've been seeing these listings on LM selling loads of new mob caps, head bows, etc by the brand "RococoHeroin". The seller is https://egl.circlly.com/users/Saesishu
and is shipping from the US. When I google the brand name I find the original taobao shop and the items are between 10 and 18$ but the LM seller is asking more than double. I'm a bit confused about this seller. Did they just buy a boatload of these accessoires to resell on LM or something? And they all look like lower quality btssb design replicas.

>>10832850
Yes, unfortunately, newfriend. These kind of sellers have been a blight on lm (and basically any other second hand sales platform) for years now, reselling shit quality pettis and bodyline and dropshipping from taobao. People asked for them to get banned for just as long, but it never happened.

>>10829940
fats can't ever pull off ouji (or lolita for that matter) without looking like giant babies

Question: Is the person selling this on LM a Taobao/Aliexpress reseller or an actual creator? Tried searching for these elsewhere, but I'm not finding the items. MTO makes it sound like they're dropshipping.

>>10829940
>6x
It's actually disturbing that there are people with these measurements and think its ok

>>10832883
thanks for clarifying. I've been on LM for years but I assumed this kind of thing would be against the rules. I understand it's hard to regulate this kind of thing.

>>10833005
The photos remind me of Alice in Halloween, it's a TB brand. But I haven't checked their shop in a while, haven't seen these before

What would this even look like under a skirt...

>buy a dress off LM a week and a half ago, TOS says she ships out 3-5 days after payment
>pay invoice same day
>no response, hasn't opened my message saying i paid the invoice
>see seller posting coord pics to instagram the whole time

should i follow up?

>>10833974
yes?

>>10833974
Tell us nonny

>>10833974
yes, you should contact the seller and ask for an update or a confirmation.

>>10832888
bloomers aren't ouji, they're underwear

Anons, I’d like some advice on what feedback should be left here.
>buy item on Jan 4. I expected to receive it within a week (shipping was $25 so I assumed it was priority which takes 2-3 days. This was for a bag, so nothing heavy)
> On Jan 12, they message me that they needed a bigger box but it would go out on Monday (it was Thursday so I’m not sure why not Friday or Saturday). I was annoyed because imo there’s no reason it should take over a week to ship something, or at least saying you’ll be delayed but I just let it go. I left town on the 13th so it didn’t really matter anyway.
>when I returned on the 29, it wasn’t here, so I checked the tracking because I was worried the package got stolen. However, it was still in transit because it had been sent parcel select. It had not received an acceptance scan until Jan 21. The package arrived Jan 31st, almost a full month after I paid for it.

I understand that the USPS often sucks at scanning packages, although in that case they usually don’t receive an acceptance scan at all and just show up as being delivered, so I feel like she just didn’t actually take the package in until the 21st. I could let this slide, but I honestly feel like I got scammed on shipping because $25 should have been more than enough for priority shipping. If it was more than that, it would have been less than $5 more which imo the seller should cover (especially after delaying shipping for at least 10 days, possibly 16 depending on when she actually dropped off the package), not downgrade shipping to a method that costs $10 at the most, this pocketing $15 of the shipping cost. I wouldn’t care if it was a couple dollars or something, but $15 is a lot to overcharge.
I’m tempted to leave negative feedback since it took so long to ship and the shipping was so overcharged, but I’m not sure if I’m being too harsh. Should I leave neutral?

>>10834080
Just politely talk with the seller about it, maybe they'll give you a discount or at least explain themselves. But imo giving negative feedback for not shipping in less than a week is harsh, yeah.

>>10834080
You can ask the seller which shipping method they chose and compare it to the label on the box. If they did indeed pocket the money a neutral feedback is acceptable. The seller should have communicated with you more about shipping it out late but a negative feedback for it taking a while is too strict.

>>10834090
>>10834092
It’s the combination of taking a long time to ship and then using a slower/cheaper method and pocketing the difference that made me think negative. I’d probably completely let the delayed shipping go otherwise, but pocketing ~$15 of the shipping cost rubs me the wrong way. If you fuck up and overcharge by more than like $5, you should refund the difference.

I’m getting about 10 hold requests per sale at the moment. There’s a reason I don’t accept them.

Also
>buys item within half an hour of listing
>still not paid invoice after 24 hours
Some if you need to stop stalking LM and reassess your priorities

>>10834130
Good. Holds are a waste of time. Stay strong, anon.

>>10834130
I don't get when buyers ghost after buying. They say they're busy when you ask where they are but it takes all of 30 seconds to complete the purchase that they supposedly really wanted

>>10834080
>It was Thursday so I’m not sure why not Friday or Saturday
A lot of people either work on the weekend or have plans, impossible to know. Either way definitely contact the seller first, nobody likes surprise negative feedback and you might just be able to get a part refund on shipping.

>>10834130
Holy shit same, for both things. I also got hold request from people that I know are reliable and seasoned lolitas. I think it's either the current economy in many countries or, as I also noticed, a big influx of new people. There are much more young sounding and new accounts. I think in the past 2 months I had about 4 buyers who straight up said they're newlitas.

>>10834160
I also think it might be because of the state of the current economy in lots of parts of the world right now.

So sick of people selling dirty shit secondhand. If the stains come out so easily, just wash it! Just wash your clothes!! I just don't get it!

>>10834682
overpriced too...

>>10834682
Some people think you have to dry clean lolita and can't wash it at home, so they may only wash it the next time they wear it and if selling it probably would rather someone else deal with it than spend the 20 minutes it takes to fix it.

This is silly of course and most decent sellers would give a discount for the inconvenience of you having to do stain removal, but some people are lazy. I wash my dresses as soon as I get them anyway.

>>10834130
I asked someone for a hold but I paid half up front to not take the complete piss. Been on lacemarket for a month since I'vs avoided it like the plague and I honestly regret the decision. None of these people have any etiquite for buying and selling.

>>10834683
And wrinkled to all hell. You can really see what kind of person that is

which one of the nastylitas in the toronto comm stole this crusty old OP from dollspensary

>>10834822

>>10834822
I hope they release the video lmao

>>10834822
I hope they aren|t just fronting with the video, this sounds hilarious.

>>10834822
lmao its charms and the moitie collar all over again

Why are you even buying shit secondhand?

>>10834948
Is there a single lolita out there who buys everything new? I'm not counting people whose closet is 100% taobao.

>>10834948
Because some things are never re-released. If you missed the original release and it gets sold out then your only option is second hand.

>>10834940
charms stole a moitie collar? from whom?

>>10834955
look it up newfag.

>>10834948
pretty sure this is bait but in case it’s a confused newfag: because older pieces are often better quality and have different designs and materials that some lolitas (especially oldschoolers) prefer, because you can save literally hundreds of dollars on main pieces, and it’s more environmentally friendly to consoom secondhand. those are my reasons at least

>>10834948
Because we're stupid. Please keep buying from taobao, is much better quality anyway.

Don't listen to >>10834997, she's just a delusional ita. New is obviously much better than second hand, if you buy second hand you will get worn out clothes that will come apart faster.

>>10835001
I just can't see the merit in trying to do a hobby like this on the cheap. I hope you all have high paying jobs!

>>10835002
Some secondhand pieces sell for more than they did new because they're coveted. You can save money secondhand but it's also a matter of getting the exact pieces that you want. Obligatory lurk moar

>>10835002
i make six figurinos but hunting for good deals on secondhand sites is half the fun of lolita for me. i like knowing that for every $1000 a nu-moitié spends, i've spent $300 on JP sites to get the same pieces lightly used. i also lowkey think it's wasteful to make a hobby of buying brand-new clothes, but i wouldn't judge someone for preferring new because it has its merits. maybe i'm just a miser lol

>>10835003
Weirdly BABY classic pieces have been selling for a lot on JP auction sites, but in that case it's just cheaper to buy it directly from the brand since they keep up the rereleases

can you retards stop responding to bait? anyone that claims they don't understand the secondhand market is a newfag or lying to bait so there's no reason to explain anything.

>>10834948
Are you stupid or smth?

>>10835013
>for every $1000 a nu-moitié spends, i've spent $300 on JP sites to get the same pieces lightly used
I buy a lot of nu-moitie but that's more as wardrobe padding for my OG moitie. Why the hate? If anything, a lot of oldfags like myself have been cashing in on all the new MTOs so we can finally semi-retire our beloved originals.

>>10835013
Reducing waste is a good habit in general, but I think in the quantities involved here pretty irrelevant. I get the bargain hunting, always feels good to get a good deal.

why is her house so fucking nasty what the fuck?

Speaking of price gouging, when was the last time this dress was sold secondhand, and for what price? I tried searching on lacemarket but "carnival jsk" is just giving piles of sugary carnival MTO results

>>10835571
not sure about LM, but i bought the pink x ivory jsk in january 2022 on xianyu for $500.

all of the shoes in this user's listings need to go in the trash instead of on LM, but they do make for a good laugh

>>10835571
I've never seen this colorway sold before in either the Western or Japanese market. I owned the original JSK in black x white that I bought from Mercari for around $250 a few years ago, but I'd consider that to be on the lower end. All the colorways (besides the sax) usually sells between $300-$500. If this colorway ever does show up, I'd expect it to go well over $1k, possibly even $2k and beyond considering how Chinese lolitas are.

>>10835667
I'm always on the fence if I should give away my "bedridden" brand shoes or just toss them. Like someone crafty might be able to restore some life to them but I'm done.

>>10835684
Yep, this. I’ve been in the fashion since 2008 and I’ve never seen it sold. It would be in the thousands for sure.
I know a few people who have the OP and they paid around $600 for it back in the 2010 era. The JSK was rereleased but only in certain colors, and it’s very small so the OP is more desirable in the west at least.
If I recall correctly, pinkxblue, pinkxivory and pinkxblack were store limited colorways, making them rarer on an already rare dress. I’ve seen every other colorway besides pinkxblue pop up at least once. I think the ones who have it will probably never sell it unless they desperately need money (or they do so privately to a friend or something, in which case we’d never know).

>>10835684
>>10835714
NAYRT, but thanks for the info. That godforsaken thing is one of my dream dresses. I guess I'll have to keep haunting the secondhand markets for Pink/Red to have any hope of getting my hands on it.

>>10835695
"bedridden" lmfao.
I'm a very DIY person but it's quite hard to salvage faux leather shoes in bad condition. The most you can really do is save them with some nail polish (if very minor cracking/peeling) OR peel *all* of the faux leather topping off the fabric, which I've only seen done on old jackets and obviously leaves a very different colour/texture.

I didn’t get a chance to post the cornet bloomers coord in the last thread. Here they are, I’m not sure if it’s a bit too short to be under the lolita umbrella, but more of an oldschool/punk inspired roomwear coord. As you can see they’re still a bit wrinkled but I def feel cute in them.

Original listing part 1

Original listing part 2

>>10835684
>>10835714
To add on: The blue x pink was Tokyo special set only and while all the other colors were able to be purchased as part of a 10 year anniversary MTO in 2014, blue x pink never was. I am thinking an extremely small number of these exist - estimating maybe 5 to max 10 blue x pink Carnival exist.

I don't normally tell people to give up on Dream Dresses but for blue x pink Carnival, I would say: give up.

>>10836375
I think the MTO was in 2017 and the black x pink wasn’t rereleased either, but I’m betting you’re spot on with your sax x pink quantity estimate.

>>10836370
iconic. so happy to see the period bloomers finally coorded.

>>10836380
Yes you're right, my brain is scrambled. Pink x Black would also only have 5-10 in existence as well.

>>10836370
I dig it, god bless Cornet

>>10836375
>I don't normally tell people to give up on Dream Dresses but for blue x pink Carnival, I would say: give up.

but anon what if i wish and wish with all my heart

>>10835571
On mercari, ca. 2015. But the seller only listed the stock photo.

>>10835571
I bought the pink x ivory for about $380 on mercari a few months ago.

>>10836370
Nice underwear trashy whore. You're missing a fucking skirt.

>>10836433
nta but you really, actually think that particular pair of bloomers was intended to be worn under a skirt as part of a lolita coord? doubt

>>10836370
ignore >>10836433, she's just jealous she doesn't own a pair. Is it bad I kind of like them when styled?

>>10836439
if anything, maybe a cage skirt would be a nice match for an ero look

Anyone hating on the length has obviously never read Nana or watched Vivienne’s original runway shows.

Pay your fucking invoices on time if you don't want negative feedback you fuckers
I swear selling on LM can be such a nightmare

>>10835714
>>10836375
Black x dark pink was limited to Nagoya and sax x pink was the Tokyo exclusive. Both colors are considered collectors items in Japan. They exist in small numbers. More than twenty I would wager. I have the sax x pink and black x white jsks. I don’t wear them anymore because they’re fragile and time has not been kind to that series.

The MTO was in 2017 and not heavily advertised. It was only available at Tokyo and the three non-store limited colors were sold.

>>10837053
So there is at least one outside of Japan? If you don’t mind me asking, when did you get the pinkxblue and how much did you pay? I’ve just never seen it for sale, although I’m sure if it gets listed it sells immediately

i'm not a sweetfag so maybe i'm the retard here, but do these prices seem absurd to anyone else, especially considering the marshmallow bunny headbow is stained?

>>10837077
Yes. These prints aren't very highly sought out.

>>10837077
That's not the most sheep garden has ever gone for but it's up there

>>10834682
If you don’t get a dress washed and steamed before selling it, you’re disgusting and everyone hates you.

>>10837077
imma just wait for a rerelease, AP has been bringing back the good stuff in recent years

>>10837077
Probably assumes they're gonna re-release these too so might as well try to money grab now

>>10837080
>That's not the most
I'm glad I'm not a brand fag.

>>10837084
This. Still can't believe ppl don't wash their shit. Just the thought of the crustiness makes me queasy. Not to mention stains. Truly disgusting.

>>10834950
I'd rather buy Taobao (and even to my exact measurements when possible, since custom made tends to cost $10-15) than secondhand. Imagine having to put up with hunting for secondhand because your beloved brand keeps re-releasing the most insipid shit these days with a $300 tag. No thanks. You may have to sift through a lot of crap in Taobao, true, but when you hit a quality brand you're golden. And for $100-150 I can overlook a little detail here or there, or fix it or spruce it up myself if needed.

>>10837106
Neither of the releases are that popular so don't know if AP would bother

>>10837077
>flash sale
kek who is this retard fooling

>>10837108
You could buy two barely used baby dresses for $150 that I guarantee are nicer quality and better prints if you like prints. You're not convincing me.

>>10837116
Same here, I've gotten nice solid brand dresses in great condition for under $100! Taobao is not really worth it to me at this point with decent brand dresses being available for good prices.

>>10837116
they could not because by custom sizing they are implying whale proportions

>>10837116
>>10837117
As someone who fell for the Taobao fad, the difference between my meta/aatp/atepie pieces and the taobao crap I ended up with is night and day, and anyone who thinks otherwise just straight up does not know what they're talking about. cheaper fabric, worse fitting, uglier cuts, often just smells like cheap plastic if its polyester. You can see, feel and god forbid smell the difference.

>>10837129
every time I'm fooled by overlyshooped ooak model pictures they take, only to receive the shittest items. I'm over taobao and my racism is fueled anew every time.

>>10837132
to be "fair" to taobao brands, classical puppets at least is close to on par for quality for the price, but you get better value for money at brands from any other country any day of the week. don't buy taobao. save your money and get burando instead.

>>10837076
Mine and the ones I know about are in Japan. I bought mine from a friend who was leaving lolita.

>>10837129
I have both taobao and older brand pieces and I would say my taobao dresses are not so bad (admittedly, they are 10 or so years old). They are cotton with nice lace, lining etc or good quality polyester. My friend was into gothic and she had that Ista Mori nun dress and the quality was OK, maybe not brand level quality. Not sure about nowdays. It seems taobao quality dropped along with everything else, it is just not as noticable because it was worse to begin with.

this looks like I glued together a bunch of crap from Daiso.

>>10837171
the lace is nice but not for that fucking price tag. highway robbery.

>>10837154
>I bought mine from a friend who was leaving lolita.
I need to stop being a lonelita and make friends in the fashion

>>10837175
no it isn't.

>>10836370
They're so cute

>>10837202
I'm trying to figure out what's going on with it, it looks like someone stuck an eyelet lace onto bridal raschel

>>10837053
You're extremely lucky for being able to own the sax x pink! I've only seen two people in the western community own it: one being infiniteneeya and another I saw on CoF.

>>10835569
EWWW, that is so nasty! And she just put the dress against it wtf. How do people not look at their pics before posting? This isn't even subtle.

>>10837596
I'd love to see it coordinated, do you have pics? I've only ever seen the Japanese lolitas wear it

>>10837129
I think your mileage may vary with TB. Especially now that AP is garbage quality, and most brands have had a BIG quality drop in the last 5-10 years. Brands like Yolanda and Classical Puppets are good, and these AEO shorts I bought are objectively better quality than some of my AATP pieces, which for awhile there around 2016 was really slipping in QC.

>>10837151
>you get better value for money at brands from any other country
I guess you're forgetting about all the shit western indie "brands". TB is a way better value than 99.9% of indie brands, and desu based on AP's recent quality issues, might be a better value than some of their new releases. To Alice makes better quality bear plush bags than AP's new cursed ones, and they're 80% cheaper. To Alice is the better value there for sure imho, provided it suits your style.

>>10837160
I had an Istamori dress. I actually wish I hadn't sold it. I'd say it's actually very similar to modern AP in quality. Single stiching, lining, and good lace, but the fabric reminds me of the AP viella poly, which I've always hated.

>>10837671
There used to be a full worn photo of this coord by infiniteneeya, but unfortunately she deactivated her Tumblr and I can't find it reblogged anywhere else.

>finds petticoat on yahoo auctions for an alright price
>looks at pictures
>is that fucking mold?
this isn't 100 percent serious and I don't actually know if it's mold but my first reaction was someone's trying to auction off their old moldy petti.

>>10837683
Thanks! I feel like I might have seen it some years ago on Tumblr. Let's pray for a rerelease with the store limited colors this time

>>10837854
whatever it is it's nasty

Wunderwelt, but almost 25,000 yen for a dress that looks like someone dipped it in fucking bleach??? How does this even happen, what do you have to do for a dress to get fucked up this badly?

>>10837937
Looks like extreme sun damage with how clear the lines are

>>10837937
Looks like it’s been stored on a clothing rail in direct sunlight

I know it makes for a cute instagram backdrop, but a part of me dies every time I see you guys doing this shit. Same goes for displaying necklaces out in the open. One day we will all decay into our constituent hydrocarbons, but let’s take care of our stuff a little bit better in the meantime

>>10837943
Yep, I’d love to have my dresses on display to see them all the time, but I know they’ll fade more even if they’re not in direct sunlight, so I keep them in the closet.
Although in this case, you’d think they’d notice the fading long before it got this bad. If it was a few shades lighter that would be more understandable, but the print is almost completely bleached out here… unless it was in a room that was never entered, how do you not notice it and put it away? And why did Wunderwelt pay someone for something that damaged? At that point just use the undamaged fabric for something else (you could probably have a decent skirt even cutting out that faded bit as long as you’re not hugely fat).

>>10837943
It's really cheap and easy to put up a uv blocking film on your windows if you want to store your dresses or other valuables out in your room. I don't know why more people aren't doing it. Or even just black out curtains.

>>10837854
Just saw a ¥10k OP with similar damage to the lining, I can't tell what it is either. I wonder if it's insect damage, but if so, why is it so yellowed?

When will people stop treating LM like Etsy?

Dumpster colored hotglue project

>>10837994
>kanzashi
fuck no

>>10837994
looks like they got removed

>>10837976
That looks absolutely foul. My other thought was possible bleach damage, but that's out of the question because who tf would be bleaching any lolita piece, much less a petticoat, in a way that leaves such weird stains? what the hell kind of insects do they have over there

>>10837937
Jesus. Remember when WW had a LM profile that would auction off damaged items like this? Now they know some desperate ita is going to buy it instead.
It makes me die inside that someone treated it so badly, and that we've gotten to the point where any condition of brand is "acceptable." WW and CC are constantly testing my limits.

>>10838006
It's a shame they don't sell on lacemarket anymore, sometimes they really need to....

>>10837976
Some beetles like the Asian lady beetle emit a foul yellow smell. I had some curtains that were stained that way.

I fucking hate it, when a lm listing only uses stock photos. I always expect the worst quality.

>>10838136
The worst is when they both use the stock photo and get the name/spelling of the print wrong.

sorry I know I'm preaching to the choir here but I can't believe how filthy some items that get put up for sale are. I can't imagine any other case where selling an item worn, used and yellowed and saying "I haven't tried washing it, stains may come out" would be acceptable! Wash your fucking clothes!!

>>10838031
They stopped because the same 3-something people kept buying all of it.

>>10838158
They stopped because what used to sell for $40 will now sell for $150.
Yeah, it was hard to nab the good deals, but I much rather fight people over cheap brand than see a destroyed dress for sale on the main site.

I could tolerate a destroyed dress, if and only if
1. It's is own category with tag
2. Cheap as fuck
There is a use for destroyed brand, you could craft headwear or even make a tote bag with your favourite print.
But destroyed dresses for retail prices ? Nope, just... Don't.

I don't know where to put this, but it seemed more relevant in a shopping-oriented thread.

People are upset that Hot Topic is selling these rainbow heart tights (left) that look like the ones Spank is known for (right).
Am I a shit person for thinking there's not enough here to claim design/art theft? I'm not trying to support Hot Topic, but no one owns rainbow hearts. Rainbows are trendy, and hearts are used everywhere. There's no confetti and the hearts are different sizes/a different shape. Yes, it looks heavily referenced, but the last restock of these from Spank, that I know of, was in 2020 (Please tell me if I'm wrong. I got one of the last pairs very soon after they restocked that time).
I know the owner of Spank is supposedly upset, and I can sympathize with that. But, it's too vague of a theme to "own" and when you haven't restocked your product in over two years, how can you really expect anything?
Please share your thoughts, anons. I feel like a heretic.

>>10838177
You're not, and there isn't. Rainbows and hearts are not some unique combination. A literal child could have designed this. I think the owner of spank is great and all, but she seems to lose her shit a lot. Even that issue with Mandarake was way overblown

>>10838177
Hot Topic sold 1:1 AP Candy Border OTK replicas back when I worked there briefly, so they're not exactly averse to directly stealing from brands but I don't know if this qualifies. This reminds me of stuff from every shitty "kawaii" store from like 2015-2018.

>>10838177
You might as well have just make a separate thread about replica/near-replica discussion. Lolitas here are always so afraid to make "useless" threads and it's why the coomers are overtaking the board.

>>10838177
Hot Topic has a history of stealing from Japanese fashion brands. It's very obvious they copied spank!'s tights for this. Legally, no, it isn't art theft. And yes, you are wrong - spank just did 3 restocks of these tights last year, so it's not like she isn't still making and selling them.

>>10838185
Its not very obvious. This design is a dime a dozen.

https://www.torrid.com/product/always-proud-celebrate-love-premium-legging---rainbow-hearts-black/12595386.html

>>10838185
I'm surprised I somehow missed the restocks. I've been wanting to get a 2nd/spare pair of the tights. Are the restocks still announced on instagram? Instagram's algorithm has messed up everything now and even though I follow certain people/shops, sometimes I never get shown their posts.


And yeah, I'm not saying Hot Topic is a great or anything. I know they are kind of questionable and aren't completely innocent, but I still think a lot of people could have come up with ~rainbow hearts~ and accidentally "copied" Spank's design. If it was an exact copy like >>10838181 mentioned, it would be way more obvious/malicious.

>>10838179
>that issue with Mandarake
Spoonfeed me, anon

>>10838186
That is very different. The hearts are on the side and aren't pastel and aren't tights.
Also, HT and Torrid are owned by the same parent company. HT used to own Torrid up until a few years ago, actually.

>>10838188
If this was a one-off incident, sure, but this is the third or fourth time Hot Topic has copied from a Japanese brand the past few years. Someone in-house is aware and is copying popular stuff they see on alternative Japanese fashion people.

>>10838190
I believe that Spank! closed their shop because Mandarake was opening a store for doujins across from the shop. The owner said that they can’t have a store that makes things for young girls across from a shop that sells porn. Even though it’s not like they openly have porn out, it just looks like a bookstore.

>>10838209
That's what I interpreted from the posts at the time too. Which is a little funny because Spank has openly posted lingerie to their instagram. It's "cute" and pink, but it's still obviously lingerie. I wouldn't say it's any more appropriate for young girls.
No shade to Spank because I like some of their items, it's just a little hypocritical.

>>10838203
You can't even find pics of the Spank tights unless you're specifically looking for them. Rainbow hearts is not some secret and specific design. This is schizo behavior, please take your meds. The hot topic tights don't have confetti, and has hearts of different sizes

>>10838215
>>10838209
I don't think it was ever about the porn shop, because as anon said, it just looked like a bookstore from the outside. I think she was just looking for a reason to blame her store for shutting down. Her overreaction was absurd

>>10838216
She reopened to a new location, so your theory makes no sense.

>>10838177
they definitely did not come up with it on thir own. someone sent a pic of the spank tights and said make this, for legal purposes different but similar. and they did, plus removing the confetti from the design saved them money on manufacturing.

>>10838216
This is an extremely popular tights design that both the Japanese and western community have been wearing and posting about for like a decade, the "designer" probably saw one of the dozens of pictures of someone wearing them and copied it. Again, not the first time Hot Topic has stolen designs.

The porn shop across spank! also didn't just look like a bookstore, they had hardcore porn posted in the windows. There were pictures. Mandrake was forced to relocate, and spank! reopened in the same building they've always been in but in a new location in the building. They are still open, and still selling these tights.

>>10838237
Nta, but whether or not someone saw the design and was "inspired" by it, if companies weren't allowed to do their own spin on things, no one would sell anything. HT probably saw the Spank tights somewhere and wanted to make their own version because popular culture sells. It is, quite fortunately, not a direct copy.
If a company without a history of ripping off designs had released these tights, I doubt as many people would be pointing fingers. If some western, indie brand decided to put rainbow hearts on a pair of white tights in the same way and only added stars to make it "unique," people would probably applaud them for keeping jfashion alive.
Basically, HT is problematic, but I personally am not bothered by them selling these tights. Anyone who wants the Spank tights probably won't substitute the HT ones because they are noticeably different. I'm not supporting HT, but Spank can't own rainbow hearts on white tights forever.

>>10838237
all the photos are censored. You have to go right up to them and look at them to really be bothered. to indefinitely shut down your whole store because of this is absolutely making a mountain out of a molehill

>Hot Topic has a history of stealing from Japanese fashion brands. It's very obvious they copied spank!'s tights for this. Legally, no, it isn't art theft.
This t b h. It's obviously referenced, but the design is probably too generic to claim infringment of intellectual property.

This has been Hot Topic's MO since forever. In the late 90's/early 2000s their designers would go to concerts and produce direct ripoffs of what they saw kids wearing, then when it became easier to upload photos to the internet they'd trawl Livejournal and band forums etc. Many such cases. Amazed to see so many surprised Pikachu faces over this one incident

Is Wunderwelt okay?

>>10838177
I can understand her being mad, I would be upset too. But if she has any business sense whatsover she’d open up preorders for her tights right now. She doesn’t even have to have them in stock

>>10838272
are you new?

>>10838277
Fantastic contribution, but I’ve purchased two pairs of that specific design when they were in stock years ago. I don’t keep up with her brand though, and I’ve seen multiple people whine that they’re never in stock and have seen old used pairs being scalped. I don’t see why she doesn’t bring them back. If she hates money that’s her own issue.

>>10838272
>>10838290
She is planning a restock, she announced it on twitter. And they regularly rerelease these tights, they did it 3 times last year. People like you just don't pay attention.

>>10838301
I don’t need to pay any attention to her. Reread my posts carefully. I still think it’d benefit her to open preorders rather than plan a regular restock while she’s still getting excess attention from the hot topic scandal. There have to be more than a handful of outsiders who are happy to buy now but will forget about it later.

>>10838307
You are the one that needs to learn how to read. I said "people LIKE you". People *like* you complaining how they're never in stock somehow have missed the multiple times she's had them in stock.
You forget the size of spank!, it's literally one person and a couple of employees running an extremely small niche shop. This isn't some large operation. Her current manufacturer maybe can't do MTO-style preorders. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if her "manufacturer" is some friend who can only do very small batches a couple of times a year.

>>10838316
Once again- I don’t keep up with her shop. I have two pairs of that specific design. People like you need to stop interpreting suggestions and completely neutral comments as complaints.

>>10838301
Three entire restocks! Wow that’s so many! If she can’t keep up with demand it’s her own fault.

$150 for dirty socks, anyone?

dropped my pic

>>10838385
>it's okay to steal designs if i want something bad enough
go cry in your oo jia dresses and leave this board

forever sad that a dress i wanted so badly got lost in the mail even though we're both in the same country

What are those. They are falling apart on the picture posted... I can't imagine what happens when you buy them

>>10838400
sugar hearts autists will pay anything for that print so this seems warranted kek

>>10838177
Why are artists always lolcows? I'm really getting sick of artists bullshit

>>10838476
How is her behavior cowish at all?

>>10838429
someone should start a retarded diy thread. for all the ugly ita shit from lacemarket and lolita sewing collective

why do some sellers stop replying after you make an offer? just say no. i’d pay full price but it feels awkward to double message or hit buy after being left on read.

>>10838402
Did you reply to the wrong person retard? She restocks those tiny tights a handful of times a year. They’ve been near impossible to buy since they first came out ten years ago. She’s an overreacting cow so I have zero sympathy for her.

Why are these tags priced so high? And why do people even sell them?
Is it for scammers to put on replicas or something?

>>10838507
Yeah probably, fucking scammers ugh

>>10838506
> Because I don't like someone, they should lose all rights to their work
neato.

>>10838560
>>10838507
Do you think before you sperge? What Baby replica are people trying to put these tags on? People sell freebies at absurd markups all the time, but there's no way this is replica related. There are only a handful of AP prints that would ever pass as the real thing anyways, this is likely for collectors more than anything else. Weirdly, people do collect bags, stickers, tags, and other promos/freebies.

>>10838506
>tiny
oh so you're fat. opinion discarded.

>well known seller still hasn't left me feedback after several months
>check their previous sales
>apparently never leaves feedback for buyers
I'm surprised no one else has brought it up. Would it be annoying if I asked for feedback?

>>10838697
>Would it be annoying if I asked for feedback?
yes. feedback is ideal and polite, but not required. is your feedback so low that one positive review would make a difference? you sound like a newfag.

>>10838301
if a brand needs you to "pay attention" to buy one of their most popular items instead of restocking them more consistently, then they're just stupid. it's not rocket science to get printed tights in a larger batch. jp brands are all like this though

>>10838697
if you need the feedback, then ask once, politely. as a buyer, i would consider leaving it if asked nicely. but i've had unhinged weirdos repeatedly harass me for feedback when i had more pressing things to do. i specifically avoided leaving them any after the second message in a few days.

>>10838697
I think asking after the sale has been stale for several months is a bit awkward, so you might want to just take the L.
I rarely buy from LM, but I've found that sellers will more often leave feedback if I ask very soon after I get the package. I usually send a message saying something like "Hey, I got the -insert item here-! I just left you a positive review. If you could leave me feedback too, I'd appreciate it." I think most sellers skip feedback for buyers because it's not really "needed."

>>10838713
>it's OK for multimillion dollar corporations to steal ideas from small indie brands because i want the item *right now* and can't wait for them to restock like everyone else
The absolute entitlement ITT is crazy. So much capping for Hot Topic of all places. Stealing from AP is a no-go, but copying spank! is apparently fine for you people?

>>10838592
Tell on yourself even harder, womanlet. Sorry we’re not all 160 cm.

>>10838565
>What Baby replica are people trying to put these tags on?
The babydoll JSK? There are exact replicas of it still being sold on Taobao

>>10838760
FR, this thread is absolute newfaggorty. Welcome to jfashion. There’s limited supply and high demand.

>>10838766
>getting mad that clothes made for 5'2 Japanese woman don't fit your Amazonian body
The Hot Topic knockoffs aren't any larger or longer, looks like you're double fucked.

>>10838402
>>10838565
>>10838592
>>10838777
(You)

>>10838779
Can't fathom that multiple people agree that you're wrong, knockoff-chan?

>>10838779
I can see you're just visiting here. The lolita community has a really long and obvious history of frowning on replica/art theft. Not sure why you thought that only applied to lolita fashion brands...

>>10838772
I've seen one but the lace was a bit different. But I've seen the btssb lace sold on taobao so there's probably an exact replica out there. It's a fairly simple design.

>>10838760
No one said it was fine. We're just shitting on spank for being run in a retarded fashion

>>10838921
How is this any different from any other Japanese brand?
Even if she never makes these tights again, it doesn't mean Hot Topic or anyone else can just steal the design and make their own to sell.

>>10838926
So no one can ever make tights with rainbow hearts on them ever again? That seems way too strict to me.

I hate the new Baby web-store

>>10838929
There are 100 different ways someone could have done the concept of rainbow heart tights that aren't exactly what spank! did. Again, weird to keep making excuses for Hot Topic who is notorious for stealing/replicating designs from Japanese lolita and indie brands.

>>10838937
Not even just Jfashion stuff. Hot Topic has been stealing art since at least the early 2000's. Remember that DeviantArt artist they ripped off and put her work on T shirts? Hot Topic has always been shit.

So the Rainbow Heart Tights on Hot Topic's site are gone now. The original link leads to a 404. Did they actually respond, or is it just out of stock?

all of the images on the latest wunderwelt drop are broken?

>>10839030
It's super annoying. This isn't the first time all the images have been missing and I don't know why it even happens.
I'm not going to buy a 2ndhand item without seeing a picture, especially because WW has gotten item names wrong before, and sometimes doesn't list all the damages/missing items.

How retarded is it to buy an item on Mercari without any actual photos? Am I 100% getting scammed?

>>10838243
I think part of it was also that she didn't like the idea of her mostly young female customers mingling with or being in view of the clientele of a porn shop a few feet away. While I don't think she was justified in taking legal action, I can sympathize with not wanting your little expensive clothing boutique right next to an adult bookstore even if they don't have anything explicit in the front window.

>>10838243
>>10839056
it's because they sell tons of lolicon stuff there. girls already get propositioned enough without them next door.

>>10839030
It's been happening for years

>>10839066
adding to this. mandarake isn't a book store. they sell otaku crap second hand. porn books, games, lewd figures, body pillows. and japanese otaku generally want young girls who look like their animu

>>10839055
depends, in my experience if it's a new release you're fine, for AP and baby at least. I feel like those listings are by those notorious chinese scalpers though lol

>>10838565
>people do collect tags
Tag collector here. I have a hundred easily. Anyone want them? They go for 100 buckerinos.

(tags in pic are not the whole lot)

>>10839066
>>10839071
Agreed, I'm glad she cares enough about her young customers to move the store away from a store that will no doubt be frequented by absolute degenerates

>>10839079
>all fanplusfriend
yuck, imagine wasting all that money on literal garbage

>>10839079
this has got to be a joke. Who cares about Fanplufriend tags?

Always got bad vibes from this guy's account and descriptions shitting up LM with his aliexpress garbage and ~uwu sweet pink princess <3~ edtwt style typing. Now that he posted pics I see that it's a fucking sissy.

>>10839127
obviously it's a joke

>>10839128
I just opened this website to post the same shit. There is so much going on. The price makes me vomit and laugh at the same time. It's clear that this is Ali shit, but even if it was custom made.
How stupid can you be to get something tailored and not fit it ?

>>10839128
I'm pretty sure this is @strawberryguts_ (carpet matches) and she's just a tiktok kid

Wash your fucking brand

>>10839133
so it's just an anachan? fuck those freakyass cockroach arms looked male, jesus christ.

>>10839143
Oh my god imagine the smell

>>10839146

>>10839146
Be honest, how fat are you

>>10839146
insecure landwhale detected. Are you really that triggered by her saying she's too small for the dress? Get some help and some slim fast.

>>10839146
You lose some weight and you can brag about being too small for brand too. It’s a great feel, whale-chan. Promise.

>>10839274
How about no.

oh no not another anachan/landwhale fight

>>10839079
Lol they’re shit tier too. But what does one even do with a tag collection except for trying to sell it for crazy prices? Display it? Lol

>>10839143
If you produce neck grease you’re either fat or dying.

(You) replied 4 times, have I touched a nerve?

>>10839303
This is a really weird thing to admit to

>>10839322
To be fair that's just what happens if you sweat in a garment and put it back in your wardrobe for two years without washing it first. It's really hard to wash out once it gets that bad though

>>10839332
swing and a miss. Hate to tell you this fatty, but that's just what a normal arm looks like. Just because you'd look like a sissy michelin man in that dress doesn't mean she's anorexic.

>>10839338
> To be fair, that's what happens when you're a nasty trashbag who doesn't wash their clothes.

Fixed that for you. If you're sweating in it and not washing, you shouldn't resell. That's real gross.

>>10839355
photo editing, same exact typing style. nice try. anyways saged and stop shitting up the thread

>>10839355
I haven't weighed into (pun not intended) this wonderful discussion you have been having yet, but yeah that's not what an ana arm looks like. For accurate representation see pic.
Although I do feel terrible for seeing >>10839128
and thinking "yep, that sure looks like a guy" and then hearing it's a girl.

>>10839357
Call in the jannies then and check. She looks normal to most people, you've just got that delusional fatty lens where anyone who takes care of themselves looks anorexic to you. Get help.

>>10839332
Hilarious you think it’s the same anon. Your brain folds have fat infiltrates, huh? lol

Anyways I'm tired of this ugly ita trying to sell her cheap ugly shit. I wish the mods would ban her.

>>10837108
NAYRT but do you have any recommendations for taobao brands that are actually good? I browse taobao a lot but it's pretty hard to find stuff that's not poorly-made polyester garbage

>>10839415
there aren't any, she's bullshitting.

>>10839413
Honestly anon this is starting to smell like a vendetta. No one cares about this rando girl selling her cheapo lolita. Most people start in the fashion with cheaper crap and unload it on LM when they level up. Not sure what she did to you besides being skinny when you’re obvs a land whale, but let it go, no one cares.

People sell actual trash on LM. I’ve seen people sell literal hobby lobby tier crafts and random normie blouses all the time. Her selling this is not at all ban worthy you fuckwad.

>>10839415
Ignore >>10839421 there’s a reason why taobao is in most people’s closets in some way or another. I honestly stan Yolanda. If you’re into sweet, fondant carnival from Yolanda on cotton is the best dress under $200 in my opinion, and the sizing goes very very high. I think I got mine for $180 shipped and I was shocked by how well made it is, and the cotton is really really high quality. Like a little thinner than older AP burberry cotton, but very good. People who shit on taobao categorically are really just uninformed on what’s out there. Ap is worse than many taobao brands now and yes, it’s true that none of them match old AP quality, but neither do any of the modern brands except for Baby, and even then their poly pieces are not great either in my experience.

>>10839356
What makes me wonder about those listings if they wore it without trouble? If I notice visible stains on my dresses I don't wear them until I get it dry cleaned. The thought of dirty cloth touching my body just makes me so incredibly uncomfortable.

>>10839486
I just wish she was more honest with the pricing. Also it would be beneficial for herself too.
Nobody with the money is going to buy this dress, but if it was sold for 20/25 bucks some newlita or ita would surely buy it.

>>10839506
NTA but it’s quite possible that she herself massively overpaid for the dress without realizing it. I’ve seen that same dress listed online for $50-$200.

>>10839526
AFAIK she's part of a group of kids that shop at Camden market where I know the shops sell overpriced crap so she probably bought it there

>>10839489
only poorfags have taobao

>>10839489
AYRT, thank you for giving me an actually helpful reply instead of the typical “wahhh taobao bad”

I’ve actually had my eye on Fondant Carnival but wasn’t sure about the quality, so that’s good to know. Also lighter cotton is good since it’s really hot where I live

>slight pilling
>doesn't show up in photos
>very good condition
>wants 75 bucks for it
yeah riiight


I'm sick of people advertising their unusable garbage tier rags as good condition. I would give this away for free or charge 20-30 bucks max if it's a rare item. I'm glad that there are close-ups, so you can see the actual crap condition of this item, but I have lost count how many times I have fallen for traps like this in the past. I have stopped buying 2nd hand cardigans or cutsews because of this shit. It's just too risky.

>>10839838
This bitch's sole existence is to scalp. All she does it buy and resell shit at a markup. She needs to stop taking advantage of everyone and get a real job.

>>10839838
still better then closetchild and wunderwelt prices right now.
moitie is really popular right now. anything under 100 is reasonable, even if damaged.

>>10839590
Not trying to be mean but you look kind of retarded referring to some random chinese junk by "name" like you would something iconic from a notable brand name like milky planet, as if anyone is going to know what you're talking about. At least say the shop name.

>>10839893
they're replying to the post that has the brand name in it, you dense biscuit

>>10839893
I don't like taobao either but you sound retarded. There's a few popular taobao pieces like rainbow dollhouse and nameless poem that most lolitas will recognize by name even if they're not from glorious nippon

give up at this point

>>10839843
It's so funny to see her here, I didn't think anyone noticed. A while back I sold her an older piece on LM for about how much it was worth for the condition, and taking into account how much I got it for in the first place. Not even a week later I saw her list it, put it for bidding and get over three times for it than what I sold it for

How broke and desperate do you have to be to do that? It's funny

>>10839917
But was the bid price started higher than what you sold it for?

>>10839921

Yes, significantly so.
It was a brand and style that was popular at the time (and still is, to some degree), so it was obvious why she did that

There isn't anything morally wrong with this per se, but at the time it stuck out as quite desperate to me

Im absolutely SICK of seeing this listing EVERYWHERE. LM, mecari, depop. Everywhere I check its fucking there. Nobody is going to buy this. Its been months.

>>10839961
Reminds me of the angelic pretty corset ribbon on eBay from awhile ago

>>10839590
Seconding fondant carnival for sweet fags. It is 1000% higher quality than my-ap. It even has foil printing! The cut is also super flattering for a lot of body types/heights. Honestly even if it were much more expensive it would still be worth it imho.

>>10840030
*nu-ap

>>10839338
Ewww. There are people out there who really do that

>>10839356
Agreed. Fucking gross selling your rancid unwashed clothes

>>10839541
>I rather buy overpriced shit in poor quality than actually decent quality fairly priced clothes because I need it for my ego

>>10840035
no anon, i don't buy AP.

>>10839888
Hi Kim. How's the hoarding problem going?

I really hate Chanyeo or whatever that scalpers user is. Every dress I look for that I want, they're selling multiple of, for way more than previous sold listings in those colorway

Boycotted this seller... But it's frustrating since they seem to buy up every main piece in certain prints on the jp market

>>10840444
Same. I refuse to buy from them just because of how egregious the prices are. The pieces I want are not worth being so blatantly scammed.

>>10840457
This is the thing. I don’t care about scalpers and I don’t mind paying a premium if it’s something I really really want, but there’s a limit to how much I’ll tolerate.

>>10840444
Real feel. I barely ever buy from LM anyways, but seeing their listings always makes me annoyed. They have a cut/color of a dress I want and even though I'd normally throw that much money at it, I won't buy from them out of principle.
It sucks that desperate-litas take the bait though. I've talked to way too many people who gave up and bought from them and I secretly judge those lolitas for it.

>>10840444
Sounds like you’re poor and bitter. You wish you had as great of a collection as her.

please don't get baited friends

>>10840444
I wish some users would get banned. For example there's nothing normal about them having that many melty ribbons and in the same colorways

>>10839838
How hard is it to get a piling cleaner? I swear it's like being fat,lazy and filthy is a requirement for scalpers.

>>10840475
Exactly. I've overpaid for a dress I've wanted before but charging nearly double the price on things is silly. I don't think she should be banned as some people said but I get a little annoyed when I get emails from LM saying she's listed a dress I had a saved search on for the 27th time because it hasn't sold due to the crazy price.

>>10840444
>Feel free to tell me your wish list,
Holy shit what a cunt. Honestly we should have a limit for active listings to discourage shit like this.

Also samefag, but massive autism incoming.

This one is so greedy, they even ask for discounts from original sellers kek.

Examples of scalped listings are here, both items have reviews in the exact timeframe from that nameless buyer mercari account:

I find them annoying too, but I've bought one item from them a few years ago because I'd never seen it for sale (and to this day I still don't think it's been listed again by anyone). My only complaint is that the item had a small imperfection and the shirring wasn't in great condition. I think I paid too much at the time, but it's probably only increased in rarity and price now, so I'm okay with it.
Some of their listings weirdly seemed more "reasonable" than others. But I do agree that it's frustrating knowing that they buy things just to mark them up and sell them again. I wouldn't buy anything from them now, knowing that the item probably hasn't been examined for damages and the price of brand is just inflated x2 in 2023 anyways.

>>10840557
This is honestly stalker behavior. Get help anon.

Welcome to 4chan

>>10840489
It's very obviously not a personal collection. They sold one dress I wanted a few months ago at a somewhat inflated rate, and now posted the exact same cut, color and condition for $50 more. So obviously it's a scalper, I personally do have multiple color ways of my favorite prints but I don't sell them months apart... It's hard for me to part with any of my favorite prints unless I find one in better condition

>>10840785
don't bother responding to bait

>>10840444
Which prints and cuts? If they’re MTOS she most likely buys the maximum number you’re allowed to.

I've sold over 60 things on LM over the years and for the first time a listing got deleted by a mod without warning. I posted a loliable novelty shaped bag by a Japanese brand and they deleted it yet shit like this is allowed to stay up. 9 out of 10 of my listings are Japanese brand so it's not because of a large percent of offbrand

What mod is smoking crack?

>>10840659
Recognizing patterns and making two clicks based on that isn't hard if you've combing the second hand marked for longer than a decade.

>>10840807
They've deleted my listings for brand before and kept others with the same "issue" up, more specifically listings from scalpers

>>10840802
Nta but I can assure you that they scalp mostly old items, not MTOs

>>10840848
They literally had a known scalper in their mod team a few years ago.

>>10840659
Actually it's called just being informed and knowing how to use resources. Gen Z lines to scream about ~stalker behavior~ because you don't realize everything on the internet is public and forever. If scalpers cared at all, they could conver their tracks better anyways.

>>10840885
No, I do know that everything on the internet is public, I just think it's pretty weird to spend so much time connecting those dots and linking it all out. It's not like we didn't already know this person was a scalper.

People need to leave Betsy Johnson at TJ Maxx where it belongs.

Have you ever seen an unwashed dress being listed for sale? Like just plain dirty or stained

>>10840918
Often

>>10840918
pit stained OPs

>>10840922
oh god that sounds like a nightmare
such clothes can't even be saved at that point

>>10840923
baking soda + hydrogen peroxide

>>10840918
I've posted straight up orange/brown blouses and OPs in these threads before. Those things used to be white, maybe ivory at best.

>>10840912
Betsy Johnson can work at times, but it really is a goddamn ita staple at this point.

Found this listing on poshmark. Seller is in comments arguing that this isnt a stain and will come out in the wash.

>>10840969
kek pretty sure it's still a stain even if it will come out. When you're looking for ways to get it out what do you google? STAIN removal.

That being said that stain looks hello permanent, especially on the ribbon. I have never gotten a stain out of grosgrain ribbon once it looks like that.

There's so many cumstained pieces that are getting sold for retail price
Stop

I'm literally begging itas to stop shoehorning shitty koi shoes into lolita jfc this shit is ugly.
