As if we needed any additional reasons to adore the extremely adorable Carey Mulligan, here’s one more: the starlet placed her Met Gala dress on eBay yesterday, with all the proceeds from the auction going to Oxfam America. The custom Prada dress (constructed of silver and gold metal paillettes, if you recall) began at the modest price of $500 and is currently at $1,050, but considering the listing doesn’t close until the 19th, there’s a good chance the bids are going to skyrocket. Of course, I don’t know how many people could actually fit into Carey’s teeny-tiny gown, but how amazing would it be to hang that shit up in your house? It’s almost as good as going to the Met Ball yourself. Almost. Pssst — Carey, I know you’re all about keeping your private life private and I respect that, but girl, we want to see your damn wedding dress! [Racked]

6 Awesome J. Crew Pieces — On eBay!

I’ve never been much of an eBay shopper; in fact, I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve bought something on the e-retailer. But two of them have been in the last year — and both were brand new J. Crew items. Maybe this isn’t a secret, but it sure as heck was to me — it turns out, there’s a ton of brand new, with tags, J. Crew items being sold on eBay. Why? I’m not entirely sure. I do know that I was incredibly happy with both of my purchases: 1) a winter coat I coveted after seeing it in a movie and 2) a pair of round-toe pumps that I got for $40 less than the retail price. In fact, if I’m coveting anything currently being sold at J. Crew — and, let’s face it, I always am — I check eBay to see if anyone is selling it at a markdown. Plus, eBay is also a great place to check for past favorites that you wish you had snatched up. Here are six awesome J. Crew items you can score on eBay right now.

Greedy Jerks Like These Are The Reason You Couldn’t Buy Jason Wu For Target This Weekend

Jessica WakemanFebruary 6, 2012 //

Once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away, I used to be quite the vintage clothing huntress. Finding a kickass sale with a few good finds in my size gave me an unbelievable cheap thrill.  Every weekend, I’d wake up early and drive to whatever estate sale promised a cache of clothing. One day, I entered a room at an estate sale and saw a woman who was picking up items of clothing indiscriminately and shoving them into bags. Keep reading »

Dear kbug1978,

I am writing to express my admiration for the recent Ebay auction of your REAL Fart In A Jar. We all know what kind of havoc joining a gym and eating healthy food can wreak on one’s digestive system. Brussels sprouts and broccoli are particularly brutal on mine. Instead of keeping your “harsh smelling gas” a secret like most of us would, you decided to do something bold, something brave. You decided to “Sell That Shit” (as suggested by your brother upon smelling your gas). Keep reading »

Crazy Woman Thinks She Can Sell Missoni For Target Boots For $31K

Julie GersteinSeptember 23, 2011 //

And in the “Are You Out of Your Damn Mind?” category: A woman in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is trying to sell a pair of Missoni for Target rainboots on eBay for $31,000. Yes, you read that correctly. She’s hoping she can sell the boots — which retail for $34.99 — for $31K on eBay, in order to pay for her daughter’s college education. As Tammy Lyn explained to CNN Money, “We have lived frugally and have some savings, but like most Americans, it’s just not enough to cover college, retirement, and life at this point.” And while she says she’s received some negative comments for the stunt, she has faith that someone, somewhere will see her posting and pull through. Not only that, she’s set aside a few other Missoni for Target items with the goal of using them to pay for her daughter’s second, third and fourth years of school. It sounds like she has a lot of faith in the Missoni for Target line. And perhaps a skewed understanding of free market economics. [CNN Money] Keep reading »

eBay Gives You A Whole New Way To Part With Your Cash

Julie GersteinSeptember 21, 2011 //

Do you ever think, Wow, I wish I had more ways to spend my money? Me too. Because being the number one online auction space isn’t enough, the kind folks over at eBay have launched a new online outlet mall, where customers can shop retailers at discounts of up to 65 percent off. “We wanted more of your money, Julie,” eBay told me in an exclusive interview. Just kidding! What they actually said was: “Shoppers can browse by store, by brand, or by category from a growing roster of dedicated virtual storefronts, offering more than 200 favorite brands and designers.” Participating retailers include Neiman Marcus Last Call, BCBG, Spanx, Brooks Brothers, Reeds Jewelers, Jockey, William Rast, Fila, Timberland, Custo Barcelona — the list goes on and and on. Plus, the outlet shop will also offer Designer Exclusive deals with everyone from Narciso Rodriguez to Derek Lam to Alexander Wang. So yeah, click over there at your own — and your wallet’s — risk.
