The Watchlist: I wish…

November 15, 2009 · 3 Comments

This week I completed half of my Christmas shopping on eBay! I am so tempted to post what I got, but that would ruin the surprise for my friends an family who check the blog. If you haven’t started shopping yet and you have some tough people to shop for, I suggest you start now! You can find high-quality stuff for really good prices on eBay right now. But as you might imagine, when it gets closer to the holidays, tons of people will be bidding on eBay driving the prices way up. So shop now! Here’s more stuff I wish I were buying:

This pair of Miu Miu shoes has to be in my top 5 favorite shoes on eBay ever, and I am so jealous of all you girls who wear a 7.5, because this one is for you. $202 ending soon!

A Gift from a Fellow Ebay Addict! J. Crew Necklace!

November 15, 2009 · 7 Comments

First of all, I want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH LAUREN for this astronomically awesome turquoise J. Crew necklace! Lauren is a fan of this blog, and even though she lives across the Atlantic in the UK, she took the time to send me this amazing gift. I had never received a gift from a reader before and not only did it blow my mind that someone would send me a gift, but also that the gift is literally perfect… so much so that I was actually considering buying this same necklace for myself on eBay just as her gift arrived, no joke.

THE. BEST. GIFT. EVER.

308955746_tpbubble_blue

 

Lauren, you’re awesome. This is literally one of the best gifts I’ve ever gotten in my life. I am so touched by this gift! And I’ve already worn it a bunch!

Back In Town… and I missed tons of mind-blowing auctions….

September 23, 2009 · 16 Comments

Okay… so it’s been a couple weeks. I lost my job a few weeks ago, and we all know that’s common in this economy (I was working for Weddingbee.com, the top wedding blog, and I loved it). Facing the reality of being back “on the market” with so many other people, I took some time to do tons of thinking, visit some friends, and now I’m back, ready to catch up with all the seriously astounding stuff selling on eBay right now. I still am not sure what exactly I’m going to do now, but I will have to at least temporarily leave NYC and head home to Miami. I’m moving back in about a week. After seeing all the eBay auctions I missed, I’ve been fantasizing about becoming a “professional eBay shopper”.  Talk about a dream job!

Armani Lace Skirt. I mean, come on, just look at it. This is AMAAAAAAAAZING. It retailed for $2695… yeah, and it sold on eBay for $249.99 with the original tags attached… yep. I want to offer mega-congrats to whoever out there won this life-altering skirt on eBay.

There are always tons of vintage beaded purses on eBay, but this one steals the show. This one ended at over $600, but didn’t reach the reserve price. Maybe it will be relisted…

I just got this on ebay – Anthropologie Stormy Sea Necklace!

August 31, 2009 · 9 Comments

This is still on Anthropologie’s website right now for $48 (here). And it’s worth the price, but I got it for $30 on eBay using a gift card I’ve been holding onto! Let me tell you, I’ve seen this necklace online several times and thought it was just “nice”, but it wasn’t until I saw designer Sweet Pea wearing it on Project Runway’s All Star Challenge last week that I realized “WHOAAAAAAA I NEED THAT NECKLACE!”. I pretty much logged into eBay right away and snapped it up! The photo doesn’t do justice to it. This necklace is large and has a lot of presence. What I really like it about it that the stones are subdued without looking cheap, and the gold beads really are semi-glossy-to-matte, and the gray strand is made of jersey, which makes the necklace extremely versatile. I wasn’t the only one who noticed how great the necklace looked on Sweet Pea… I saw people twittering over it and Sweet Pea herself got so many questions about it, she had to tell everyone about the necklace on her own blog, Sweet P Vaughn. Thanks Sweet Pea for opening my eyes (and eBay for being way too convenient)!

Please feel free to email me any of your eBay wins at elanarobinson@gmail.com, and I will feature it on the blog. Who doesn’t love bragging about a good deal? : )

Daily Splurge Fantasy – KJL Turquoise Cabachon Necklace

I’ve made it obvious that I’m addicted to all things turquoise, right? I just can’t help myself. I saw this Kenneth Jay Lane necklace, priced just under $300, and I went into fantasy-land. I swear I’d be making excuses to wear this everyday. I’d wear this just to go down the hall and do laundry the same as I’d wear it out for a special event. So here it is:

The Watchlist: ONE. HUGE. POST.

June 22, 2009 · 6 Comments

Today I met a friend for lunch. I know that she tends to like chain restaurants, and I tend to love breadsticks, so we met in the middle at Olive Garden. Yes. Out of everywhere to go in NYC, I am proud to have chosen Olive Garden (don’t hate me). We had a lot of catching up to do… actually six hours worth. My boyfriend went with me and did a great job of hanging in there as her and I talked all those hours about “girl stuff” (he knows it will always be a 5-8 hour ordeal when I meet up with her, we always have too much catching up to do). That being said, I missed a TON of hot stuff on eBay just this afternoon. So, I’m not going to let myself or any of you miss out on the remaining pile great eBay finds this week. And so, I present to you, the HUGE POST (drumroll*):

SOME AUCTIONS THAT ENDED WHILE I ATE LUNCH/DINNER:

J. Mendel Feather Pencil Skirt. Retail was $2900. This sold for $327.89.

The Watchlist: A Few Days of Fantasy

May 28, 2009 · 6 Comments

Honestly, if I had a lot of money, I would be having a field day on eBay this week. I found such a large amount of amazing stuff at insanely good prices, I am going to explode. Pulling myself away from spending… is not going to work much longer! I can’t take it anymore! Too… much… hotness…. I…… can’t resist…

Catching Up: Only The Best

May 14, 2009 · 6 Comments

Moved to NYC, check. Got a job and an apartment in 6 days, check. Realized I had done it all too quickly, and made the tough choice to quit the job, check. Just sat down yesterday to breathe for the first time in more than 2 weeks… and saw the Star Trek movie last night, check. You should go see it too, it’s perfection. The only thing I sadly didn’t squeeze in recently was these great eBay auctions, too lovely for me not to post. Enjoy catching up with me, and be ready for a slew of hotness this week, as I can tell that eBay seems to be ramping back up to it’s true glory again (perhaps its the air of optimism that the economy is getting better soon).

I’m dubbing this “Ebay Item of the Month”. I know we’re still early in the month, but this will be very hard to top- a Prada chain mail top. This is so runway! The auction started at $0.99 and ended at $275.99 and this top is worth every penny of that and so much more. I don’t even want to guess what the original retail price was. I wish this were mine, but want to say major congrats to whoever won this piece of art! This sort of thing probaly won’t show up again for a long time.

Splurge-Worthy: Spectacular YSL Necklace

April 29, 2009 · 1 Comment

This has got to be one of the best YSL necklaces I’ve ever seen. The justification is easy: it’s a statement-maker, and most importantly you can wear it TWO ways. The necklace can be worn on its own, or attached to a black, velvet underlay that completely transforms it. It’s currently $330 with 6 days left, but if there is anybody reading this who can afford to dive in on this auction, I say go for it! I search for YSL jewelry all the time, and this is truly one of the best ever. The condition is stated as brand new, with the original packaging! Good luck!

Most auctioned items are available for 7 to 9 days, and often experience stiff competition. Buy-it-now items last for up to 30 days, and endure much less competition, because they are not made visible in auction listings! Most of you favorite eBay stores offer buy-it-now items that you might not find if you don’t know to look, so don’t miss out!

Sigh*… just missed it

April 19, 2009 · 5 Comments

So, I am in the process of packing up to move to NYC. I have been scrambling around in mounds of clothing and boxes, trying to get it all together. When it’s all done, I will have had a total of 10 days to pack. Is that enough time or am I just  inefficient? My real problem is the “junk drawer”… I have 4 of those. I am vowing to get more organized, so I want to sort out all the junk and pack it up in a very organized way. In the midst of that lofty goal, I missed quite a few outstanding eBay auctions. I am recovering.

A stunning Christian Dior Dress ended at $172. Whoever one this dream dress, major congrats!

This LaRok Studded High-Waist pencil skirt. How could I not want this? It’s currently just $10.50 with 5 days left in auction. Put this on your watch list and get a bargain on a skirt that retailed for $227!

This is not the sort of thing I normally gravitate toward, but leave it to Mackage to make a dusty-rose leather mini skirt with pleats and buckles very tempting. And leave it to eBay to make it very affordable at $9.99 with 2 days left. I estimate the retail on this was at least $250.

(Extremely) Fab Ebay Store: Kuku Vintage

February 8, 2009 · 15 Comments

First of all, I want to say that Kuku Vintage is currently carrying about 10 items that are worthy of being dubbed “item of the week”. Secondly, I want to say that it’s stores like this that make it soooo hard to stop spending, especially if you love a little avant garde flair in your closet. Leather? Check. Lace? Check. Big Ruffles? Check. The list goes on. For the vintage fur lovers, Kuku Vintage has also got you covered big time with much more fur than similar shops. Somebody please tell me how they found an amazing big 80s sweater that I am dying over! I don’t even like sweaters! I also am not a fur fan, but they have a teal leather vest, with wide shoulders and fur panels, that actually may be the hottest super-80’s vest I’ve ever seen. See what I mean:

Fab Ebay Stores: Neon Life Vintage & Twenty Three Vintage

February 2, 2009 · 3 Comments

Neon Life Vintage is a great little stop if you love quirky vintage pieces with unusual details. I had never seen an 80’s pastel-floral-fringed jacket actually look good until I saw the one they’re selling right now. I also have no idea how they found a denim studded jumpsuit that look cute. They might inspire you to take a few more risks, so check them out:

Twenty Three Vintage is a pretty new store, but they started off with a bang. I don’t know her name but I swear their blond model was on a season of America’s Next Top Model. Their attention-grabbing clothing is impossible to ignore. I can’t even believe how many items I am lusting over from this store!
