Are you camping out to buy H&M Balmain?

H&M stores in Seoul got completely cleaned out by scalpers within the hour of opening, and Korean Internet classified sites just people selling H&M Balmain at 3 to 4 times the list price right now.

I scanned twitter with tweetdeck (live feed) for the words "H&M balmain" and found an instagram account called balmainxhm. They hooked me up with a link "tablet.hm.com/us" and I was able to get the basic t shirt but the jeans I wanted was sold out by the time I used this link. The shirts sizing is unisex so if I can't fit my TTS I'll probably sell it for lots lmao.

Girlfriend copped this dress in the Melbourne, Australia sale. Line was pretty long and menswear was totally cleared out in a few minutes.
Quality seems decent for the price - fabric feels about a 7/10 quality, cut / fit is actually pretty good, and the zips are slightly too chunky (which is fairly normal for fast-fashion). Never going to live up to mainline Balmain in terms of quality - but excellent value for the ~$160 she paid.

It's mostly gone, especially online already. Came in to work early too just to use company high speed internet, but the H&M website still wouldn't let me in.

All that's left is that little $35 black leather wallet.

Scalpers seriously suck the fun out of everything. I wish it was illegal to sell something for more than the retail price. Like maybe not sell anything more than the retail price for at least 6 months since it's launch date or something.

Word. I just wanted to check out the collection in person. Maybe try a few things on. Just empty racks when I showed up.

I mean, scalping is a job for poor/uneducated/unemployed/children. Don't think there's a fix aside from purchasing limits, but hm/balmain love the crowds/mayhem/demand. Good for thier brands/image. Lots of free press. Etc.

Please explain me the fuzz about it.

You want to buy that for you or to sell it ?

Tbh the women's collection totally worth it.

But men's one...

Come on are you serious ?

The coat is fine but the rest...

You were about to buy that crap just because it states "Balmain" ?

That streetwear pants and garbage hoodie, that nigger leather jacket and that tasteless hillbilly shirt "look it's written Balmain in full caps it's designed !!"

why does anyone want balmain H&M? I don't understand. It's still H&M. Balmain is just a brand name, if you're buying anything when you buy a brand that large it's the craftsmanship, and H&M does not have that.

how are they scammers?

they're not deceiving anyone. they buy a product and sell it for more. where's the scam?

just because you don't like what they do doesn't make them scammers. they're buying to make money so they can pay their bills. you're buying so that you can play dress up on an asian cartoon forum. one of those things seems more important than the other
