How much over retail are you willing to pay for the REALLY HTF Items?

My purple matte was $50, Mustard I got lucky with and it was $25, ummmm I can't think of anything else that's SUPER rare. Glitz, Clone, Black gold all those I paid anywhere from $10-$35 for. Heatherette I paid $25 for but that's the only lip product I'll ever pay more than retail for. Depends what it is basically. Only shadows, pigments or old mac jewelry though.

my sentiments exactly those are WORTH the money

I've only ever paid over retail once, and it was for an Asia Exclusive e.s color from the Flutterfly quad. I think it was reasonable for $25.

For the amounts I got, I paid $19.00 USD (incl. shipping) each for Deckchair (80% full) and Coco (90-95% full)...that's really nice, considering if you convert into USD what I pay for regular jars ($23.50 + 15% tax = $27.03 CAD = $23.36 USD).

well..there are two hours left in the auction for the thing i wanted SO BADLY...and i quit my job yesterday so i only allowed my self to go as high as $50 for it and it was higher.
but i saw another one pop up so i wont name what it was just yet.

i would never pay over retail for anything, because its all way too overpriced to begin with, lets be honest

i just remind myself its only makeup, and i can probably find something close enough, so i dont feel bad about missing out. its a bit sick to waste soooo much $$ on something just because it was limited edition.

Sunrisa- how were you sooo lucky to get heatherette lipstick for only 25.00??? i really wanted this lipstick, but they want so much on ebay for it

 

[midnightlouise]

Well I've paid twice retail on a couple of things...I would probably pay more if it was something I really wanted & I had the money. As long as all the bills are paid why not?

I've been collecting MAC eyeshadows for the last 2 years, and there aren't many I payed an outrageous amount for... I haven't been buying them from ebay, but I got them from specktra and MUA.
I got sweeten up in a swap (not even that expensive, just the 'new' price) I got guacamole for 12 dollar, parrot was the first oversea eyeshaedow, but it was ordered from the website and cp-ed to me, so no mad price either, and I payed $45 for liza PM incl shipping...

my advice to keep it cheap: be patient and don't do ebay!!!

Well, I guess we know the answer now.

Hey girl!!!!!!! This is Meka

I really want a Liza PM quad, and I am considering spending the $80 one specktraette is asking for it... I can't seem to find any others for less.

I Don't Believe That I Would Pay Over Retail The One MSF I Did Get Off Of Ebay Was Under The Retail Price!

I bought a bnib icebox e/s on ebay the other day for £9.05. The retail price for e/s here is now £10, so I thought it was a pretty good buy as the last one I saw listed went for around $80 I think.

As Turbokitty mentioned, it's kind of different for us in the UK, the prices on ebay don't seem so extortionate due to the fact we pay so much for the stuff as it is in the first place.

Still lemming a melody though, not sure what I'd go up to for it, I always seem to be just outbid.

$80 is not a bad price for Liza PM, especially considering Parrot can go for $50 by itself these days. I sold a BNIB Liza PM for around $120 not long ago.
