Boxer Shorts on Ebay

Options
Hi,
Has anyone bought Calvin Klein boxer shorts off ebay before?
I'm looking to buy my son some (he's at that age where everything has to be designer), just wondering what sort of quality you can expect.
I was looking at these ones
http: //cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290509646936&var=&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT#ht_1296wt_932

They look like great quality and at £5.99 posted is a hell of a deal!!!!

Thanks in an advance for any feedback

Owen

    Not very clear pictures of the actual product, so a bit risky for my liking.

    If you want to stretch a little and guarantee authenticity you can always visit TK Maxx, you will often find Calvin Klein boxers there at £7.99 for one pair or £12.99 for two packs, if you're willing to have a rummage! They have a large selection of styles and colours as well, they've never let me down :)
  • hmmm, i thought that, but the feedback is very good. Only thing with TK MAXX is rummaging through that disorganised pile of underwear feels inherently wrong - Lol

    I bought some CK's from China (via ebay) - but when I went to pay for them it said that the seller was no longer registered, so i ended up not sending the payment. There seem to be a lot of similar chinese companies selling boxers.
  • The ones you have linked to are not genuine! The cheapest I found was £25 for 5 on ebay and they are really nice

    None are genuine on ebay and if you think otherwise then more fool you. CK and any other designer would never supply ebayers, in fact it is almost impossible to get an account from any top designers even in high street shops due to preffered stockists having exclusitivity. You may of course find the odd genuine unwanted present, but anyone with any quantity will be fake.

    Tripe - utter tripe. I got 72 packs at a proper auction in July and sold them in my shop. Paid £2.35 a pair. Another batch went to a different buyer and he sold them all on ebay.
    Calvin Klein are not that exclusive. You did see the post giving tkmaxx as a stockist? Hardly Harrods is it?

    Most of the reputable clothing wholesalers do have regular high street store overstocks of CK underwear - about £3 a pair when bought in bulk (100+). They are not as "designer" as most people think.

    Gemwholesale, Marthill and Xcatreturns all have ex-Littlewoods, Arcadia, Primark & M&S stock all year round. Highly unlikely to be fake when sourced from there, which is where a lot of the ebay listings originate from.

  • spammy-boy..... new poster, only posted about this listing....
    reported!

    any seller who resorts to spamming to sell their items is best avoided.

    Well spotted. You could be right. However I see no need to avoid the seller. He amy be trying it on, but it's hardly the crime of the century.
