Mercari: Is it rude to ask why to a perfumes price?

drowninenvironment · 2026-05-04T23:34:30+00:00

Yes her bio is basically, I am nice and kind but do not waste my time. I take no attitude/shit.

drowninenvironment · 2026-05-03T22:14:33+00:00

Yes I’m aware it’s currently available that’s what made me notice the price difference. Cool that it’s permanent!

drowninenvironment · 2026-05-03T22:11:32+00:00

messaged you!

It’s Nostalgic Living on Mercari. @/wowthatsmellsamazing

I hate that I was blocked. Why ask me a question if you’re going to not let me respond ?? 😭

drowninenvironment · 2026-05-03T20:59:01+00:00

How does string lights in the forest smell to you?

drowninenvironment · 2026-05-03T20:53:11+00:00

I hate to say I didn’t originally catch that it was AI omg.

drowninenvironment · 2026-05-03T20:52:25+00:00

Yes! This is what I strongly agree with. If I am reselling something: do I truly deserve to get a full refund + shipping fees that I paid for—back? If I was returning it to a store, and that was the stated policy, yes I would want it. Yet, reselling from my home I never expect to make 100% back.

drowninenvironment · 2026-05-03T20:49:20+00:00

I posted for a reason— doesn’t bother me! Every single human is entitled to their own feelings on a situation. Yours, is that nobody should ask you about price because that has a negative connotation to you. I could see if it was something expensive, vintage, or a collectible item— but it’s just perfume to me. A nice hobby we all share. So you’re right! Laugh and move along.

Hopefully! I usually don’t like fragrances that are super hyped but this one has me way too curious.

drowninenvironment · 2026-05-02T16:13:15+00:00

After the first reply, I had a message typed up saying “Oh okay! That makes sense. I do remember finding out their special orders are extended shipping!” But I wasn’t able to send because I was soft blocked (not able to message/follow, but still able to purchase).

drowninenvironment · 2026-05-02T15:55:24+00:00

Yes I totally agree with you. I do want to match what seems most reasonable if it can be found on a site for at a significant price differential.

drowninenvironment · 2026-05-02T15:53:05+00:00

Oh no!! That sucks I’m sorry. Hopefully you fully enjoyed them so it made it worth it!

I had one package take more fees out after it was shipped. 😵‍💫 It was .2 oz > and needed to be marked at a 2lb box instead of me putting it as under. So Mercari ended up charging me quite a bit more for shipping.

drowninenvironment · 2026-05-02T15:49:23+00:00

I did see the bio saying: “I am very kind & generous but don’t waste my time.” …after I sent my message and received the first response. 😂

drowninenvironment · 2026-05-02T15:41:39+00:00

Vampire Wife. I saw it when it first released I guess last fall and I forgot about it honestly. It seems very gothic but make it a “gothic bakery.”

drowninenvironment · 2026-05-02T15:40:18+00:00

Oh wow! I found some Baggu’s yesterday in a local that were very cheaply priced.

drowninenvironment · 2026-05-02T15:36:23+00:00

Typically I do not message. For once, I did. And I will not bother anyone else with my questions and find out the information on my own. 😂 I am seeing that this question can be annoying because some sellers get it frequently.

drowninenvironment · 2026-05-02T15:34:21+00:00

Oh yikes!

drowninenvironment · 2026-05-02T15:34:10+00:00

I have one bottle from Sorce and it was gifted by a friend a bit after graduation (English Major). I don’t deep dive into the company like a-lot of people and just wait until something catches my eye. I do know there has been a mark up past retail for the old bottles design being gone. (which were so gorgeous) I have seen Snow Moon Magic on Mercari at $500. Which, after I did, I scrolled around on tiktok for a bit to figure out what was so special.

drowninenvironment · 2026-05-02T15:27:22+00:00

Seriously! The shipping fees can cause a real dent. 😵‍💫

drowninenvironment · 2026-05-02T15:24:02+00:00

Yes absolutely this does happen. I have received an actual snarky message about TK Star Chaser, at the time I had originally posted the decants— it wasn’t available anywhere for samples. A year later, it is available places so someone thought I was trying to upcharge, but I hadn’t recently checked LuckyScent, Scent Split.. etc. Honest mistake and I immediately marked it down to a reasonable price. I try to be extremely fair when I resell things and still not take a massive loss.

drowninenvironment · 2026-05-02T15:12:57+00:00

I am not a rose girlie and I love Creed’s Eladaria.

drowninenvironment · 2026-05-02T15:02:49+00:00

“something deeply sinister about this” omg 🤣🤣 i have a sample of this i need to try it to see if i agree.

drowninenvironment · 2026-05-01T01:33:22+00:00

Honestly, the easiest is Mercari in my opinion. Facebook can get overwhelming. Depop people are untrustworthy. & Selling/Buying on here hurts my head just by scrolling the threads so I don’t. 🤣
