CDG and MBMJ: Up for grabs on Ebay and Gumtree...

After years and years of being on the buyer side, I've finally set up today a seller account for Ebay. Hehe!

The first items I've put up for sale are two much-loved items.

In the last quarter of 2012, I kind of went on a Comme des Garcons phase.

The phase was partly influenced by good friend I-van and partly by the good offer by Club21 then.

The result, I have two extra Comme des Garcons tees and two extra Marc by Marc Jacobs tees that have been hanging in my closet since.

All four have never seen the light of day (lol!) and I feel that I won't be going to put them on anytime soon.

That's why I decided that I should probably put them up for sale at insanely discounted prices and let someone else (hopefully, a CDG or Rei Kawakubo or Junya Watanabe or Marc Jacobs fan) enjoy the pieces.

Asking price for the CDGs is $50 each. Asking price for the Marc by Marc shirts is $40 each. And because I am come from an archipelago where haggling is an art, prices are negotiable. Hehe!

Hopefully, some fan will stumble upon the items. Hehe!

Also, planning to put them up on Gumtree. Whee!

Kino's no longer naked...

Kino (my Kindle) finally got his cover yesterday.

Thanks to Google, I was able to find online seller SweetEvil Spree.

Don't be fooled by the name. Well, she does seem like a sweet person. And the items she sells would make you go on a spree. But I'm quite certain that she is evil. Hehehe!

So after work yesterday, I headed to to the city to meet up with her to get the cover. The item was nice. The color I got was cedar brown. I could've gone for black, but I thought the brown was really nice. Twas only 25 bucks.

I'm glad that Kino is no longer naked. Now, I dun have to bring around the original box with me to protect him. Hehe!

Do check out the items sold by Xuan (aka SweetEvil Spree).

Shopping with ASOS.com...

Jane, a fellow volunteer, told me about online shopping site ASOS.com. I remember there was another friend who told me about it.

I'm trying to recall if I've ever bought anything from an online store when I was still in Manila, and I remember buying from Amazon one or two times a million years ago. I've also bought a few items on Ebay, but it's kind of different because the mode of payment was cash on delivery/bank deposit.

Having experienced lost mail once or twice and the fear of online fraud, I rarely buy stuff online.

However, a recent online shopping experience with ASOS went very well and that I think was more than enough to consider online shopping here in SG.

I got an email from the site that a major sale was ongoing. I decided to go check the site and there was. A lot of the items were on sale with really huge discounts.

At that time, I was really planning to get PG Boy a scarf for his US holiday trip. There's really no reason. Just a have a safe flight/enjoy your trip present. I dunno. I just do these kind of things. Hehe!

Anyway, I was really glad that I found the present at ASOS. It's a beanie and scarf set. It's French Connection. It's 70% off (PG Boy doesn't know this though. LOL!).

So I decided to purchase the item. If by some stroke of bad luck, I don't get the item, then it's okay lah because I only paid a small amount. Hehe!

The package arrived in about 8 working days. Much earlier than I expected. The package came in a nice box, and the items were also in a nice FCUK box. I was really, really happ with the purchase.

Another awesome thing? Free shipping.

Weeks later, I gave the present to PG Boy and I think he liked it. He even sent me photos of him wearing the scarf... just the scarf. Hehe! Kidding, kidding.

And recently, I got an email again from ASOSthat they are on sale. Hmm, thinking of checking again. Hehe!

If you're after good bargains, if you have high EQ and can wait, then you really must try online shopping at ASOS.com. Easy shopping, quick despatch, reliable shipping, good items. The site carries a lot of good brands so a lot of items are a steal.

Maybe I'll wait for the Boxing Day sale. Prices will prolly be slashed like crazy again. Haha!

By the way, I did not receive any payment for this post. Just sharing a wonderful online shopping experience.
