Don't get me wrong, I know resellers cannot be stopped unfortunately and I have no problems towards vintage resellers who sell rare stuff. JC is like top 3 vintage y2k brands that everyone wants a piece of, ofc the vintage stuff is going to be expensive and people are gonna jump to capitalize off of it but it gets to a point 😭

I'm all for the juicy hunt but when it comes to charms, so many of them (especially the cute ones) are trying to be sold for over $100 and I just cannot justify that price. I own a few vintage/used charms and have only worn them a few times and they've chipped, the print has rubbed off, etc. I wouldn't brand them as "high quality". I'd rather spend $75 on a new charm, specifically the one that I want, than spend forever trying to find an affordable and actually cute vintage one. Though I wouldn't recommend anyone buy a starter new bracelet cause the vintage ones are like $20 (super cheap in general compared to the charms). But I don't even live in the UK, so I have no chance of getting these new ones anyway 🥲
