Received the email, and paid. Vibergs on Thursday, Iron Heart jacket today. This has got to stop. Hahaa! The idea is to buy up so that you don't buy more, but what the hell. Yeah...I don't know when I'm supposed to start saving. They keep coming out with things I "need" and things I have to have to have (x3!) all my bases covered. |

Does RB work on Sundays? I'm guessing I won't find out if I copped the last Large until tomorrow night. depends on how you define Sunday. Their Monday starts before your Sunday is over. |

Stupid, I just realized why. Never ordering on mobile again. Didn't see the coupon. Shot RB an email. I ordered on my iphone but I look at rakuten on full classic site view instead of mobile friendly. At sub 200$ I could resell it on eBay for more and make money if it didn't work out. Rodeo sold out fast on that. I didn't know it was going to be a Japanese offering figured it was a IHUK special exclusive. I fell in love with the overdyed version. The original non-overdyed just didn't win me over the weft is Showing too much for me. Looks too open. I like my denim shirts to have a tighter weave. |

At sub 200$ I could resell it on eBay for more and make money if it didn't work out. Lets see if I have this straight.....Purchase an IH shirt, Japan direct, at substantial savings. Pay no tax, or customs fees. Resell it at a profit, while undoubtedly undercutting IHUK. I'm just as discouraged by IHUK price points, as the next guy. I have 3 IH pieces I've purchased from RB, myself. But, the thought of profiting from those pieces has never crossed my mind. I have no doubt, this is certainly one reason why the IH crew has sought to eliminate sales of Japanese releases to markets outside of Japan. |

If it doesn't work out absolutely. $325 on eBay it goes. Hopefully I got sizing correct and I keep it. I'm not flipping it but if it doesn't work out I will try to make a few bucks 100%. |

I don't see an issue with it. He bought it, it's his, he can do whatever he wants with it. If I find a great deal, it doesn't necessarily mean I HAVE to pass on that savings to the next guy. I've bought boots and shoes at a steep discount with intentions of flipping. We can't be faulted if people can't be bothered to search for a cheaper price, and are willing to pay the premium.

I get reselling for profit. I'm questioning the importing of a product, reselling at a profit, but not paying import duties or taxes. Is this legal ? Would it be considered an unfair advantage for IHUK, and other retailers ? Could anyone face legal ramifications from it ? |

RB has only one size left, so they were given only a few. Unless this is done in scale it harms no one. |

scooter - it's one shirt lol if it doesn't fit I'm selling it. I'm not importing and selling anything as a business. Zero government agencies would care. If you try to do this on a large scale I would assume you can run into problems. It's done on a USA scale all the time. Look at Jordan's, Yeezys they are bought and flipped on eBay every since day by a ton of people. Heck I buy and sell cars and motorcycles too for a profit. Flip them. Small scale again. If I buy a miata in 2012 for 2k and sell it in 2016 for 5k I'm not reporting that as profit nope nada no way. ickes I'm sure there are people that buy and sell in large quantities. Those sugar cane 1947's I sold on eBay and almost doubled my money but they didn't fit and I wanted to get rid of them.

Is it second hand if it has only been tried on?

Is it second hand if it has only been tried on? It is IMO. If it's still in it's original packaging and hasn't been opened then obviously it's not. |

I'm not giving you shit for it brentkuz I'm just saying that I've seen guys do what you do when they sell something and I avoid them  Even if it's something I want. |

Is it second hand if it has only been tried on? I don't think so. But it would have to be just tried on and nothing more. Many retailers let people try on jeans and then just refold them and put them back on the shelf if they don't fit. They sell the jeans as new even though they have been tried on. If you had to disassemble a lot of packaging, that might be a different story. |

You, as a US buyer, are typically exempt from foreign taxes however including sales taxes and VAT taxes. Yes, it's an advantage you have over a global distribtor like IHUK and IHUK's retailer network. Yes, there is a remote chance there could be ramifications. However, I've never heard of anything coming of it. It's too small scale for Customs to give a crap about. They are probably more interested in finding shipping containers full of heroin or counterfit luxury goods or stolen cars. They probably don't care about you re-selling a couple of shirts you bought online. Bigger fish to fry. But I could be wrong. |

seth - if it was a massive scale operator yes. If it's counterfeit yes. But random non- business doing it. Nopers

If you had to disassemble a lot of packaging, that might be a different story. That's a good point. IMO though once it's left the original retail store and it has been purchased by and is in the hands of the consumer/end user and has been opened and tried on it is second hand after that point. It's like a new car....the dealer will let people test drive the car but if the consumer doesn't purchase the vehicle they still keep in on the lot and sell it as a new car. Once that vehicle has been purchased and has left the lot it is a used car after that point. Just my opinion and the way I look at it. |

But it's not like brentkuz is going to try to sell them for full IHUK price. People willing to pay the full IHUK price will still be getting a deal. As long as he leaves the Iron Heart tag on, it's still brand new in my eyes. |

Although I guess if someone returns an item to a store with the tags still on it then the store will still put it back on the shelf and sell it as new, won't they. hmmmm....lol....maybe it's not really second hand if it's BNWT.

Yeah you should see what retail really does with returns.
Plus 100 butts could try on a pair of pants and fill it with farts before someone buys them.
