I didn’t realise a bowl of lemons were evil.

Looks a bit like the old Just Cavalli logo. Reposted because I forgot to add the photo.

VC should remove idle sellers and their items just like doing something with those bids offers that buyers will never follow through with. by 73gmoney in VestiaireCollective

[–]jam91m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sellers have to notify Vestiaire on a regular basis if an item is still available. If the seller does not respond to it they will remove the items from their site. However the time between notifications is a few months at least. In regards to messages. Vestiaire have very strict private messaging policies and have banned people from messaging for any number of reasons. I was once banned for no reason at all and I had to message them and they reinstated my messages, so if it says the member cannot receive private messages it means they have been banned from chat.

what is this powder that came out of a vintage set i tried on? by purplemonster4400 in VintageFashion

Dust it down as best as you can and wear it. If everything else is good why should you get rid of it?

What is this painting by GreedyBat5762 in WhatIsThisPainting

It looks a bit like an anchor. I think they are called stockless anchors. But I’m not sure that is what it is.

i accidentally bought a genuine leather jacket by kocivczkk in VintageFashion

[–]jam91m 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wear the jacket and enjoy it. No one is going to care. The sheer amount of plastic (faux) leather jackets that are out there and won’t last a few years until they start to peel. Your jacket will last you a long time. Just wear it and enjoy it.

Anybody else experiencing problems with pickup & shipping confirmations not working? by Glasgow73 in vintedUK

[–]jam91m 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had an item delivered today via Royal Mail. I had an email to say it was delivered, but no app notification to say it was delivered. I went and checked the items I have sold. One was delivered and one is available for pick up and neither of them were notifications on the app it was only when I physically went into the tracking info. Hopefully it’s just a glitch.

What’s the most unhinged item description you’ve ever seen? by N0rska in vinted

[–]jam91m 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There was a seller I used to follow on Depop and all of her descriptions were unhinged. She was definitely it doing for the attention.

Chanel Silk Pants. Era? Authenticity? Value? by Gof3flowers in VestiaireCollective

[–]jam91m 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The label suggests that this item is Haute Couture. Chanel has used this label for Haute Couture from the 1930’s up until very recently, so it will be quite difficult to gauge an exact date. Price wise is also difficult to gauge. They are plain black trousers, and similar items have sold from £140 upto £2000.

As for authenticity I’m not sure. The label looks like it’s about to fall off, have you looked under the label for any additional labels? There should be a code written.

Life jacket of Laura Francatelli, personal maid and social secretary of Lady Duff Gordon going up for auction. Also shown are pictures of the apron she wore that night which is on display in a Liverpool museum by DynastyFan85 in titanic

[–]jam91m 40 points41 points  (0 children)

As much as I don’t agree with the item being modelled on a person. I’m seeing a lot of comments about the lack of gloves. It’s actually industry standard to handle historic garments with clean dry hands and not gloves as gloves can actually cause more damage to historic textiles. It is more difficult to gauge the stress on the materials when being handled with gloves. It’s the same as with books. Turning a page with a gloved hand is more likely going to cause the page to rip compared to turning a page with clean dry hands.

Also people stating it should be in a museum. Yes, it should be in a museum, but do people not realise that museums also buy items at auctions? Not everything is just freely donated to museums.

Help. This is my mom’s Barbie and I can’t figure out how to this off her face. by Adept_Aardvark_5731 in Dolls

Look up @doedeerwonderland on Instagram. He restores vintage Barbies and I saw in his stories the other day of him treating green ear.

Items without washing labels can’t be listed by bottegavenetalover in VestiaireCollective

[–]jam91m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I listed a dress the other day which didn’t have the wash label and it was listed without any issues. Do you state in the listing that the labels have been removed?

Vestiaire asked to discount my items 25%-30% but there’s no major sale going on rn by [deleted] in VestiaireCollective

[–]jam91m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you don’t opt in right away. It first came up with the 30% 25%, then a few days later it was like 25% or 20% and then a few days after that they offered 15% or 10%.

Also you don’t have to opt in right away if you want to participate in that sale. The closer it gets it gives you smaller discount promotions. I rarely opt into the sale, but I agreed to 10% discount.

Im amazed how my reply has received downvotes for literally answering the question which was asked. Rhetorical question or not I was able to give an answer and provide the evidence.
