I saw your IG post and I have to ask…Mushmans has these for $1.5k but your price is $2.150k? Surely you deserve something for the effort and the inevitable pains that come with also being a customer service rep. Is this what you’ve built into your pricing model? Are there enough folks willing to go that high over retail/ direct from Japan?
I was also wondering about that.
Shipping, customs, inevitable hassles of customer service, business taxes and overhead...
I'm a broke ass who buys used exclusively but idk why you are surprised by this.
Hey guys a couple of points.
It’s not a group buy, I’m buying from Rainbow Country to resell. Some folks are going to pre-order but dunno how many, and I have to be able to pay Rainbow Country for the order.
This is my first rodeo doing this so there are a lot of unknowns. I based my pricing off of the only other non-Japanese retailer I could find: Recall Clothing.
I think some folks will want to order direct from Japan. And that’s ok. I’ve done that! But some will be interested in buying from a US-based seller for a variety of reasons. Once the jackets arrive I’ll also be able to measure them in a more standardized way too.
Of course once I have more knowledge maybe I revisit the price? Dunno!
I dont want to derail the thread or anything. But feel free to hit me with any questions. If it gets to be a lot perhaps DM or convo would be better?
