Some people discovered an unlikely way to make money this week, by raiding the Missoni stock at Target and immediately putting items up for resale on Ebay.
International Business Times tells the story.
My daughter and former Plainfielder Audrey called yesterday to discuss the phenomenon. She had participated in a similar buyer frenzy when Target linked up with Liberty of London and sent me some of her finds. By the time she hit the West Seattle Target for the Missoni sale, the pickings were slim.
We were talking about the resale of these wildly popular goods as sort of an underground way to beat the recession. Certainly it must be more fun and less labor than stealing copper pipes out of vacant homes to sell at scrap yards, as happens around here. Our block is seeing a big increase in scavengers for metals of any kind since times got tougher. Why not buy a Missoni duvet and resell it for triple the price?
Plaintalker is not trying to make light of the economic woes faced by a large proportion of American society right now. It is just intriguing to see what clever tricks people are coming up with in an effort to cope. Zig-zag swag is certainly near the top of that list.
