Just out of interest re Karen millen etc

Being nosy really:o
Having spent the last week looking for an outfit for DD1 graduation, Karen Millen,Coast etc (do have wedding to go to as well) i have now started looking on ebay and cannot believe the amount of current in stock Karen Millen dresses etc that are available on ebay.
I can understand old stock/lines BNWT or factory 2nds, but how do they get hold of current in stock perfect items:confused: not just one offs but in several different sizes:confused:

    Some of the sellers are running as small business so the same way that any shop would get hold of stock, however some may be fake!! Check feedback for seller if selling lots of items to see what buyers thought of item when delivered.

    Some of it is stolen as well. I have a friend who manages a branch of a high end clothes shop & they have previously caught sales assistants who have sold on stolen stock on ebay
    nothing to see here, move along...

    With our local Monsoon, the staff get 75% discount and know whats selling fast/sold out, so they buy up and put on ebay to make more money back. Maybe people are doing something like this?
