Finding deals on eBay can be tricky...



Sometimes buyers can get too wrapped up in bidding to realize they are no longer getting a good deal...
This is a very good example of being smart with eBay shopping and always checking your options.
Both pairs I have for an example are basically brand new jeans by 7 for all Mankind in their beautiful new (and highly coveted) Nakita wash. Both are a size 28, and both are on eBay at the same time, yet one is going for $80 tops, and the other for$140+ ...

$140+ for this one...

$80 at the highest for the exact same pair

While I'm here, I'll say a little about the Nakita wash as well. This is a real staple wash for the summer, and it is so comfortable as well. This is a very, very buttery soft wash. It is a beautiful steel medium blue color with tan and gray undertones that sets off the fabric in a very subtle and casual way. It is extremely similar to the havana wash, but less 'grainy', and more smooth in appearance (and more smooth to the touch too). The wash is stretchy (the more soft, the more stretchy typically) and tends to run true to size to one size large. For example, a size 30 may be able to buy a 29 in this wash. It is an extremely popular wash that is relatively new, and flies off the shelves very fast. You can bet that most lovers of the 7fam brand already have this jean in one or more cuts (bootcut, dojo) in their wardrobe!
