blonde poker forum

Hi


I am not too sure if you are aware but H&M are going to release a range from Jimmy choos coming out on the 14th of November.
With prices ranging from £49.99 to £179.99
There will be guarenteed a queue for these shoes.

I believe the resale value of these shoes will be big as the basic pair of Jimmy choos are £250, with some pairs going for £800+. There is alot of hype around these shoes as they are affordable.

There are 15 shoes in totaling £1220

What I propose is that we buy the whole collection and sell them on ebay.

So the deal is 75%-25% in investors favor after fees etc etc

I will be selling them in 10 blocks @ £122.00 each

I will be queueing at midnight at the Market Street Store in Manchester

Only the first 160 ppl will get the first opportunity to buy the shoes

The shoes will be limited so you can not buy multiple pairs of the same shoe

I will also have my girlfriend with me so I might be able to buy extra pairs if necessary.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.

Are you a sole trader?

You should probably post your hendon mob results or a sharkscope graph or someink

 ;marks;

Sorry, Im dim at fashion n that. Where are you getting them from and why would someone buy a pair on ebay and not in H&M?

Investment would be entirely contingent on research of supporting ebay market. Would be prepared to bet that at least 65% of JimmyChoos on Ebay are fake. This really dilutes final selling prices. Some of the prices look quite healthy, don't know how these compare to highstreet prices though.

I will get them from H&M
H&M will sell out very fast
and there are limited pairs

What time will you start queing?

Which store are you going to?

They wont be fake if I have proof of purchase.
So the prices will not be diluted.

I remember the Kate Moss range in top shop sold more than retail on ebay when it was released.

Sorry
I will be queueing at midnight at the Market Street Store in Manchester

The first 160 ppl will get the first opportunity to buy the shoes
The shoes will be limited so you can not buy multiple pairs of the same shoe
I will also have my girlfriend with me so I might be able to buy extra pairs if necessary.

The £179.99 knee high pair are not being sold in Trafford centre shop, only the one in town...

the world has gone absolutely fucking mad.

No just an opportunistic guy

lol. fml

 rotflmfao

Sorry I just rang the trafford store to confirm that they will not be recieving the knee high boots. Which they are not. Even they told me last month that they will be getting everything

So I will be going to the one on market street which will have the whole range

;booder;

haha, gg

FYP

Nothing personal, just a joke about the fashion industry in general, couldnt resist.

i dont get this - why on earth would you queue up to buy a pair of shoes ? has the UK suddenly turned into kazahkstan on some other deprived eastern european country ?

there are loads of shops selling designer shoes, even up here in glasgow, where they can be bought without queing.

If jimmy choo are selling cheaper shoes through a chav central outlet, then surely the same shoes will not be sold through their regular channels ? this would totally wreck the exclusivity of the brand.

What an apt smiley Kin rotflmfao

Nail - Head......

interestingly enough i just asked my other half, who is something of a expert on womens shoes (arent they all ?), and her opinion is that she would not wear 'cheap' JC's, for the reasons that everyone who knows anything would know what they are, and for the proposed 200 quid price tag, she could get a better pair of shoes, and better shopping experience in general than going to H&M.


I remember a few years ago a similar trick being tried by Patrick Cox, certainly in the male footwear range, and it was sold thru lower end retailers. I dont think it lasted very long.



FOR THAT REASON A'HM OUT :)

Well the average pair is 80 quid

This is an exclusive range to H&M
Jimmy choos are a a lot bigger brand and a lot more prestige than patrick cox

Womens shoe market is bigger theb mens shoes

Make designer gear cheap and it becomes available to chavs.

Stick a chav in exclusive gear and all of  sudden the brand is cheapened and it loses it's niche appeal.

It's happened before. It will happen again.....

I cant beleive the short sightedness of this thread.

Ill have 10% Paul maybe more.

Would suggest trying to obtain seperate receipts though if possible so they can be listed on Ebay with their own individual H&M receipt.

Do you have any of those knee-high boots in a size ten?

250 notes for a pair of shoes!

FFS The world has gone mad.

if you're there anyway can you get my missus a pair and i'll pay you back?

OK thanks stu

I will ask if i can get seperate receipts for all the shoes.
I am planning to sell them around the christmas time so they will go for more money. (list them around the 1st)
Is bank transfer ok?
I do not have any accounts any more on any sites

This is definatly a +ev investment if done right.
Women pay stupid amounts of money for shoes, my wife owns shoe shops and it amazes me how many women come in and spend £500+ on shoes in one go.
She has regular customers who want her to ring them when new lines come in so they can get them straight away..lol.
There is one particular boot at the moment where she has had customers ringing up and then driving miles to get them as they have sold out almost everywhere and they are £250 a pair.
The only thing you may need is a good established ebay account to sell them on, with 100% feedback and plenty of sales.

Good Luck.

Bank transfer is fine Paul.

How much feedback do you have on your ebay account?

I have a 400+ account available.

Go on then, I'll take 10%.

What size are you going to buy?

investment or not its still frigging wierd a bloke going into a shop and buying 12 pairs of womens shoes..

but gl

He was on GMTV this morning going on about this and his shoes in H&M..

people pay more than £10 for shoes?

fml i need to start a shoe factory

It's hardly going to happen instantaneously though is it. These boys will make their buck.

I was going to use my brothers account which has 160 ish feedback

But you will probs  be more experienced with ebay also.

How would you propose to do this?
I buy the shoes and take pics
you create the auctions and give me the details on where to ship the shoes?
There isnt a H&M in nottingham that will sell the Jimmy Choos range.


Thanks

Size 6 is the most popular size

I'm not convinced you're going to make much on this........but if you think it will work, you've surely got to try and get the girlfriend to buy the max amount as well to maximise your earnings...(and buy size 5's!)

My wife says size 5 is most popular in her shops then 6.

lol @ size 6 biffers up North

I have phoned several shoe shops and they said size 6 is the most popular.

Also if for any reason I can not get any shoes for any reason I will refund the %age to the relevant investors.

I'm trying to work out if the whole thread is a level.

this. not sure I've ever met a girl with feet that big

seems big, tbh.

3-4 in my ladies foot experience  ;scarymoment;

OK i have an idea ,i man i know has 20,000 pairs of men's white socks at 10p a pair ,i intend to buy the lot and sell them in barnsley as there very popular there ,i was wondering if any one would be interested in buying a % .
we could get at least 25p per pair in barnsley ,if anything goes wrong and we cant shift em ,they could easy double up as dish cloths .
the good thing is i don't have to Que

;tightend;

Did he want 10%?

10% here plz, if they dont sell ill take a pair for a chrimbo pressie.

does anyone know paul or could vouch for him?

Actually a pretty decent idea. I'm skint so can't get involved but gl.

And definately get either a size 5 or 6.

If H&M had one branch, it may be a half decent idea, but they have lots.

his girlfriend

she might be a bitch

but at least she'll be able to wear nice shoes

a bit below the belt .

How long do you think it will it take to sell these Barry?

Yes, you have. Joobs' feet are a size 7-7.5 lol!

I'm 5.5-6 - pretty average i thought!

I don't know, but there are loads of people in DTD sporting white socks now...

small sample size but going from claire/sharples' 2 posts I'm gonna assume
big tits=big feet

Only among female poker players who post on internet forums.

DUCY?

;)

yeah. . it's fascinating the things you learn on here.

I don't have big feet :( but I guess there is a balance element to it.

If the Trigg and Camel are in I'm in

10%

If the Trigg, Camel and Luckbox Bedi is in I better be aswell

10% pls

is that on the socks guys .
just spoke to Darren the manager at dtd  he says white socks are coming in as part of the uniform.

[ ] Yes to the socks

Don't know about Gatso's sample theory, but I'm shoe size 6.5 - 7

You frickin hate me dont you George!

Jimmy Choo's for hot little petite women, size 4's ftw.

Im happy to list them if you send photo's to me Paul, I would definately do them as auctions, not buy it now. Just see what they go for.

Ive met Paul a fair few times Trigg and he is a decent bloke.

Auctions FTW and make sure they end on a Sunday night. 

Proven that auctions ending on a Sunday evening go on average for 15% more than if sold at other times.

Barry your frickin awesome man!

I like the alternative idea of selling socks as dishcloths. I bet no housewife in Barnsley has a Nike branded dishcloth. They would shift quick. And you can't use shoes as dishcloths either so the versatilty of the sock investment makes it the better bet imo.

not all stores have the range available the knee high boots are only available at manchester and london
i big cities like manchester london cardiff and brum and newcastle have them

I have met a few ppl from blonde

stuart hopkins
instigator
mc
beanpole
maria

so far we have
Me 20%
Stuart Hopkins 10%
Camel 10%
Action Man 10%
George 10%
Blatch 10%

I am not too sure if u can see this but these are a pic of my trainer collection ( i cant insert photo because he too big)
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/photo.php?pid=1922926&id=223100370

Are you sure you're buying these shoes to sell on?

nope they are just mine.

but i do know ppl who queued up for 4 days to get these trainers for 80£ and sold them for 1000£ the day after on ebay
http://www.kicksonfire.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/nike-dunk-sb-low-what-the-dunk.jpg

whats the 7 for?

the trainer is called "what the dunk"
and they are a mixture of nike dunks
the 7 is part from the "lucky" nike dunk trainer

thanks mate gonna pop in to mk and northampton and ask as look like a definate money maker

its on the site if you just click on the shoe that u wanna buy it will tell you what store its available in
http://www.hm.com/gb/fashion__fashion.nhtml#/fashion/

ewwww brand names or is it supposed to be called designer, yukky, I have never understood shopping so never felt the need to wear a name what everyone else recognises, I take it these things are a fashion stance?.

Does Del Boy know you nicked his trainers ?

well, good luck but i really doubt how there can be a profit in it.

h&m are a VOLUME mass market retailer. all the talk of limited edition is quite frankly bollocks. for as long as there is demand, they will have the supply.

They could just be doing a limited edition run to get some cheap publicity. Jimmy Choo talking about H&M on telly must be worth a few bob.

Also associates the H&M name with expensive stuff and not cheap tat.

when there are only selected stores only selling them. there will not be mass VOLUME in stock.
the knee high boots are only availble in 2 stores in the uk
so i dont think there will be enough boots to supply the whole demand

Shoes

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCF3ywukQYA

They need to be sold sharpish though in case more stock is released shortly after the original lot.

We know this wont be a one off.

But we also know Jimmy Choo is no fool and will want to milk the demand and build on the shortage.

Stu Im sorry- didnt see you were in!!!

Is it too late to back out?

Why not phone Jimmy Choo up and say "Hey, you know the quantity you sold to H&M, well I want the same number please"

Not only will you get them at the wholesale price and be able to make more money on them, you'd get your own exclusive Choo Shoo's

nope its up to you.
I will pm everyone on friday and see if everyone still wants to go ahead.

they were talking on the telly about a sun article that says you are only allowed to buy 1 pair of shoes, expecting mad queues, wristbands to try to prevent people fighting to get in

link NW yet prob too early or something?

http://cma.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/woman/fashion/2714845/Customers-wanting-Jimmy-Choo-shoes-at-HM-to-be-given-wristbands.html

if you really can get the whole collection this looks like a dead cert and I'll be in for 10%

on the h&m website it says u can get the whole collection but only in one size ie u cant buy multipuls of the same design

10% please

OK 10% then plz

Good Luck.

Not sure what profit margins you are expecting. Don't forget your Ebay & Paypal fees mount up on large transactions, this can eat into any profit.

The first 160 people in line at selected stores at 9am on Saturday, November 14, will get the wristbands.

They will be given ten minutes in the VIP area in groups of 20 - but limited to buying one item per size.

Backing out was a joke cos Stu's involved. I'm in!!!

There's a good article in the SUn about these. They are expecting a MAD rush.

PM me your bank details so I can ship you the cash.

Qhy don't u read from the H&M website I am sure its more accurate than the sun

yeah the sun's just got the words mixed up imo - they say 'one item per size' (which would make no sense) instead of, presumably, 'one size per item'. Probs just too used to twisting words in articles.

Another article:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/fashion/fashionnews/6506543/Jimmy-Choo-shoppers-to-be-issued-with-wristbands-to-stop-fighting.html

Not clicked on the link, but surely hand-cuffs would be more effective than wristbands to stop fighting?

:dontask:

just looked at H&M's site - the shoes are gorgeous, there will be no trouble shifting them. If anyone wants to buy me a pair for christmas I like the red ones. kthnx.

Size 12 wasn't it?

Think yourself lucky you can buy shoes to fit from a shop,i have to go down the boat yard.

Deck shoes?

You know what they say about women with big feet dont you..............................

Big shoes!

You know what they say about women with small feet, don't you?

Something about the kitchen sink if I remember correctly....

how much %% is left, what roi are u looking at?

all the better for kicking you with?

nope

huge penises

They fall over in high winds! :P

"""The shoes will be sold at the following stores:

London's Covent Garden; Knightsbridge; Kensington High St; Regent St; Oxford St; Westfield; Brent Cross. Birmingham Bullring; Bluewater; Brighton; Cardiff; Glasgow; Manchester's Market St & Trafford Centre; Newcastle; Dublin; Dundrum. """

apparently not

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/2292143.stm (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/2292143.stm)

glad i can say i only take a 7  ;D

lol, that study is shit

Only 104 people and they didn't measure the erect penis.
Poppet could probably give you a result that is more scientifical valid than that

LOL

I have pm'd all the intrested people my bank details
If you have not recieved any of my pm's. Just pm me.

If for any reason I can not buy all the shoes I will buy the shoes which I think will make the most return (knee high boots>high heels>flats)
I will be buying size 6s

On the 13th of November I will be driving past the H&M store around 9pm to see if there is any forming of a queue. If there is one, I will join in the queue. If there isn't one I will drive pass every 2hours.

I just hope that it doesnt rain.

only 10%

Not too sure what the Roi will be

are you fucking this up paul?

size 5!!!!!!!

I have phoned 5 different Shoe stores up and they said size 6 is the most popular.
If any one who is investing has an objection. We will then have a vote to see what size that they want.

Size 6 pls

So are you sleeping outside the shop all night? Are you guaranteed to be at/near the front of the queue?  My local H&M (participating) is in a shopping centre, I guess you have to bolt from the shopping centre doors when they open in the AM, little point queueing outside the shopping centre overnight.

Good point - also are you taking anyone with you in case you need to nip out for 2 mins?

Who said anything about sleeping?
My GF will be with me to keep me company.

My H&M is not in a shopping centre
Doors will open at 9am
I aim to be near the front of the queue. pretty sure I will get them shoes
Plus i hope there will be lots of other hot girls queueing with me

Whos the first?

the first in queue?
I will guarentee that I will get a bracelet. I will do my best to get as many shoes as i can.

lol

shouldn't we be interested in the most popular size of jimmy choos not the most popular size of shoe for all women inc old fat grannies who ain't gonna be buying them from ebay?

when do you need the money by?

end of the week will be good.

The stores that i asked are pretty high end shoes stores.
Such as Kurt Geiger, Prada, Selfridges.


looking on ebay it seems that there are more size 7 listed than any other size
size 7 has 43, size 6 has 36 and size 5 had 34

what size would you want?

size 9, big footed women would grab at the chance to buy these online,

is market street a pedestrian zone?

will your g/f not cop the hump with you ogling other girls?

will you be able to carry all those shoes at once?

Its a high street
so yes

I am chinese its hard to see what I am looking at


that might be pretty hard but my gf will be there so carrying around 8 each wont be too difficult

i dunno tbh, happy to go with 5 or 6, will ship the money tomorrow. GL

that is a top answer  ;hattip;

anything in sizes 4-7 will shift for a profit. 5-6 much of a muchness, but probs more popular than 4 or 7. If it comes to a choice of getting, say, three pairs in size 5 or 6 or six pairs in size 4 or 7, then go for the one you can get the highest quantity of imo.

I dont want to make a profit by exploiting women with dirty big feet.

Money shipped

loooooool

recieved thanks

Is there still 10% left?

Prob should buy this as its comedy and ur a legend HO

Yes still 10% left
Do you want this?

Er thanks

wb cos!

Money Shipped.

GL and wrap up warm.

Big designer shoes are very very popular on ebay as they are bought by the transvestites.

wtf ,you lot arguing about size`s ,that why socks are better .
one size fits all.

One size fitz hall

Thats not Jimmy

This could go down in blonde legend ... the great Jimmy Choo Coup :D

I have no idea why but this really really made me laff.


And hello Paul you massive masssssive fish   :dontask: ;marks;

When is the 'Jimmy Choo shoe queue coup' ?

14th of November. as per OP

lol

haha love you really honey. When you next going to be giving me money a dtd?

I live in manchester now. So can't be arsed to drive just to donate sorry

The guy at H&M say that they get 50-80 calls a day for the past 6 weeks
And ppl are flying in from france just to buy rofl!
He said that they are expecting around 1k in ppl lololololololololololol
Good job I can out run and barge the little girls when running to the shoes section

Canyour gf record this as it would be amazing to see you throwing girls out your way and pummeling your way to the shoes!
Standing their victorius with a set of Jimmy Choos in each hand at the end!

Never get between a woman and her shoe shopping.....

Noorrrrr I was in the g on bury new road on sat, good games!! We could just set up a direct debit so it's like the old days  ;marks;

I was there too went there at 5 am to donate.

I will try

what is stupid.
 Groups of 20 will only be allowed 10 mins in the vip area. which is where most of the shoes are i think. i am pretty sure it will take more than 30 secs to serve one person. especially if i want 15 pairs of shoes!
oh well i am sure i will be VICTORIOUS!!!!!!!
 

All the investors that hasny paid yet, I will need the money before thursday.

if there are 1k people planning to be in the first 160 what time are you going to start queuing? I queued 30 hours for new kids on the block tickets back in the day and still only got front row for one day :(

norrrrr damnit I left early because I had to drive home. nm! Gl with your shopping girly boy  :)up

thats what he said.
But i said i will go past the shop at 10pm on friday and if there is a queue i will join it. I will go past the shop every 2 hours to see how things will develop

wrap up warm and bring a flask!

shoulda let me know man i had the house to myself.
It is pretty juicy game at the G.

seen the boots, they look like fkin old man marleys from home alone. Im out, you will make money but its not really a sweat and the amount earnt is limited, so doesnt provide any stimulation for a degen like me.

FYP

thanks for the notice.

I am not buying the mens shoes btw.

is it really worth proving to everyone that your word is not your bond for £122?

espec when you are running some kind of part time bookmaking business on this forum

seems like a bad move to me

less than 48hrs notice ... poor form imo.

lol this is trigg!

dont forget yr thermals and waterproofs tomorrow night might be a bit chilly and wet

yeah pretty annoying imo

Is this still happening Paul?

Are you going to make up the shortfall due to not selling all of it - or just going to buy less value?

100% happening

Just buy less
Dont think i can afford the shortfall

probs buy the knee high boots and all the heels.
and refund the difference
 gonna be a long night tonight

Money in your bank for the shortfall bud

thanks mate!

Cos says: Ahh yeah ok cool, just pm me it, haven't caught up in a day or two.
Kinboshi says: Sent.
Kinboshi says: Have you seen this shoe thread? It's com but I think could be good.
Cos says: Haha Paul Ho, what a legend. He's got hooos, in different area codes.
Kinboshi says: Could you do me a favour?
Cos says: Depends, what you after?
Kinboshi says: Can you post on the thread and ask Paul to post a pic of himself in one of the shoes after he buys?
Kinboshi says: I don't have time, gotta make Tighty and Kev a tea + it doesn't help with all the gay stuff.
Kinboshi says: Bye
Cos says: lol wtf ur odd
Cos says: Later

If you get me pics and descriptions over tomorrow.

Below is a rough outline of how I list stuff, anyone has any objections or recommendations let me know.

7 day listing
Staggered start times during sunday evening
Auctions
0.01 start price and no reserve
payment options for 1st class and special delivery
preferred payment by bank transfer or cheque, paypal if they insist

All auction links to be posted on here
Will communicate with paul about sending the shoes out and post on here as payments are received/cleared

Will then ship funds however people want.

Awesome!

haha, please post pix of your in shoes. will be sooo com.

but......

Christmas comes early for Kinbo

Yeah that's pretty good. I prefer Monday evenings 8pm myself, I read a few times that this was very 'hot'. Wednesdays are shit.
Nice pics and good description really important.
Good ebay account really important, now they use 'best match' (80% of users dont switch to 'time ending soonest), and best match takes into account
Your feedback
Item price/shipping price ratio
Your Detailed Seller Ratings
Whether you accept Paypal as main payment.

Don't list them in an account without DSRs.

I agree with everything else though, excellent, this Hopkins fella surprises me like every day.

Reserve Prices are shit
High starting prices are shit

Selling near crimbo will add about 10-15 pc to your Final Selling Price.

If you were confident a pair were gonna go for about £320 you could consider using the 'Featured Listing' at £15. Adds ££

lmfao abs class

Paul, can you confirm you've received the cash from me?

I take it your name is keith
If yes then:
yeah its recieved

If no then:
no

I haave updated it on the op

Bright future in Merchant Banking imo ;)

Yes, that's me.

This thread could just be the greatest.

Is anyone else a little excited?

Purely in the interests of research I alighted on Jenni Falconer's official website launched yesterday

In her initial blog she states she is going to an H and M preview tonight, for Choos.

The week ends with a night out on Friday. I’m looking forward to it, primarily because I have a pass for the preview of the Jimmy Choo range for H&M. I’m excited about this as it means you can buy some of the clothes before the mad rush on Saturday morning when they are officially on sale to the public and there’s a gorgeous one-shoulder leather  dress I have my eyes on!

http://www.officialjennifalconer.com/category/blog/

I am off for a lie down

It could just be the best, its going to be epic whatever happens.

It has to be epic.

I have no idea what they will go for but I just cant wait for the line

?


does anyone have a suggestions for what to do whilst in the queue?
I am gonna take my ds and ipod.
should i take a create of beer and get hammered so I will have no problems pushing little girls out the way

I will have mcds breakfast to look forward to at 6am.

laptop and dongle, play poker all night with the shoe money?

Do a dance show for everyone.

Whatever you do, vlog it, will make great viewing. The ruck especially.

It's half past 4 in the afternoon - shouldn't you be queing by now? Seriously - these women have probably been there since last week!

this!

those red shoes have drugged me somehow. if i didn't have hannah tonight I'd be in the queue already. totally ridic, but I guess the hype has got to me!

was in town today and yesterday

there was no one in the queue

but there was one guy whos been there both days!

but he had a recorder so i doubt he will be buying some Jimmy Choos

ITS RAINING AND I HAVE NO UMBRELLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

gl man.  are there many peeps about?

Surely Paypal is preferable on ebay than a cheque???  ;carlocitrone;

No one there yet just went past about 30 mins ago
Gonna be there for 1115

Wooo7th in queue. Someone with came with a tent sado

But I have 3 coats on and 2 pairs of socks lol

 what sados

lol :D

Is that you for the night now?

Any chance of photos?

What's the competition looking like Paul? Anybody you would have a problem doing over, when push comes to shove?

May I suggest some tactics to grind down the other people in the queue, like beltching, farting, playing loud music and generally being obnoxious.

Probs
Don't have a camera on me
Only 11 knee thigh boots in store and everyone wants them too

Some night for it eh? Still waiting for it to arrive here but I hear Engerland has mega storms.

wp wp

Superglue the zip ftw, see how fast he hops when doors open

There's a monster next to me from liverpool

He thinks the boots go for 400 sandels for 300 he works in retail
Its growing about 18 ppl now with 6 males

 Lots asains wooooooo

40 ppl in trafford
 Centre they inside and get free coffee

How many people in the queue will realistically get a shot at shoes? (not followed all the thread)

The shop is not open till 11 to the public
But they said first 160 get wrists bands
Only 11 for these knee high boots which are most expensive at 180 

That Q sounds like a good area to target for muggers, everyone fast asleep with Jimmy Choo moolah on them.

Paul can do ninja shit

Its raining quite heavily now

PMSL ... you are a star Paul.  Mental, but a star :)

rain is biblical down south. I don't want to think about how bad it is in manchester, you're crazy

Rofl there a big 50% off knitware sign next to us
The tards of manc are thinking were queueing for knitware

Can you get me any in a size 6? What sort of money will you be selling at?

The guy next to me who works in retail says they will sell 250 minimum
Lol doubt I can buy you any. Lol

I meant when you have bought your stash of them, if u have any in a size 6 how much would you sell them to me for? I thought u were buying loads to sell on?

gl, hang in there.

you can bid for them on Ebay Girgy.


PS, thought you had bigger feet than a size 6.

Alrate well let us know when they go up!

Queue edging to the side of the store around 30-40 ppl

Been told trafford centre has stopped letting ppl in

Lol this is such a great thread.

I would like to nominate Mr Paul Houk for the blonde hall of fame, for his services to high fashion.

Mr Paul Ho

Thanks lol

Yeah, that would be crazy. ::)

Stupid drunken tramps are speaking to us what a tramp drinking tenants I hope he gets beaten up

My feet hurt

Stop whining biatch LOL, only another 10 hours to go ...........

If i known it would have caused a problem obv id have invested, just thought that cus the thread was like 13 pages there would be a reserve list.
Pretty ironic a tramp with a can of special brew is pissin em over u daft sods getting pissed on. Com

Ok ship me 200

Don't need to be an arse either

Paypal is probably the worst thing in the world of bad things in a world where things are so bad that it just doesnt matter anymore

Mmmmmmmmmmm haribo sugar rush ftw

Any one awake

no

Hi my names paul what's ur name

Hope your not wearing Jimmy Choo's, if they aren't comfortable they are not gonna sell.

Bob

Not as busy as expected
But probs be rammed around 6-8 o clock
Pretty bored atm

Good luck, keep going... less than three hours till sunrise! Though apparently it'll be pissing it down again by then, so I guess you won't see it...

Is anyone there just buying for themselves, or are they all doing what you're doing? You bonding together in adversity in the queue, or is everyone eyeing each other up as rivals..?

Quite friendly
Nope not many resellers
There are some but a lot of the ppl are there just to buy one or two items lol

6 hours in redic bored

Mentally ok but knees and ankles are abit sore

Fucking sausage and egg soon thank fuck

Hang in there.  Yer abso nuts, but doing great!

Why are women super mardy when they are tired?

Tread carefully.   She could snap and you'll have been up all night for nothing.  rotflmfao

Full of energy
Excited now that we saw someone inside

How many lined up outside now?

Has Heather Mills already got an order in?

Well done mate and hope the profit made is worth it.

Awesome thread

Geo

GG

FFS

just realised that i have 2 of the same style

Useless fuckers


but i suppose 200 ppl rush in to ur store can be pretty hectic

Good work fella. Probably the worst night of the year so far to be out there, so well done.

Hope you make mad dimez from them as do all the Choo-backers.

:)up

Agreed, especially as ewok ed up in down in that weather all night  ;marks;

Geo

This thread is incred, I don't think I could stand outside all night in summer nevermind during hurricane season!!


Hope you make crazy ££££ on e-bay well done!!

Omg what a day I couldn't get an exchange so I had to buy the other two but I forgot my wallet so I got my gf to go home to get my wallet lol

A+

so you've been back to the shop for an exchange now as well?!  You ARE tapped!   rotflmfao

 ;applause; ;applause; ;applause; :)up

Well done Paul, look forward to the pics.

Paul you are a legend hope you all make a huge profit.

epic thread, gg to you mate for staying in the great weather all night, hope it sells for plenty £££

lol deffo this, wp matey

They said I had my chance and couldn't get any more or even refund till tomorrow

What a day

gonna go tomorrow at 12 to get some more!!!!!! or exchange the ones that i have.

I have some pics on fb but too tired to take proper pics so you have to make do!

http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=98760&id=223100370&saved

you reckon they'll still have some in stock tomorrow?

Yep.  You are a legend.  WP   ;applause;  Hope the lot of ya make mad dimes on the re-sale.

Just looked at the pics - Paul, are the red shoes as red as they look in your avatar pic, or are they more pinky (as they appear in the facebook pic)?

i dunno

there was still mad queues at 12!
I will see  at 12 tomorrow

If not we can just sell them
I will try to swap them with my gf coz they got her order wrong tooo!!!

they are pretty red same red ness as the 3h but my eyes are pretty tired so i cant really see straight

thanks - was thinking if they were still that well stocked I might chance my local branch this afternoon

not all branchs stock the jimmy choos collection
and most of the popular sizes are gone llike E39s

but they have larger sizes

 well done!!....radio 5 live had a reporter from there this morning saying only one pair per person.

Yep I know, I meant the branch at Westfield, which I'm pretty sure I saw on their site was stocking them. If I can't get my size could always pick up a bigger pair and sell them on to raise funds to get myself a pair on ebay!

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiii congrats Paul.

Hope you make mad dimez, mainly to stick it in Trigg's eye.

Brilliant thread!

Wp mate

But tomorrow morning ill get on it!

 :)up

Knee highs looking like £320ish ebay for new. wp.

There was only 11 in Manchester. And the only other store was sold in london
It was pretty gay because you can only buy shoes in one size.
But this fat fucking scouse stole the last pair which my gf was gonna get.
which the fat fucker pushed in
He works in adidas and  korova in liverpool
he has a shaved head weighs like 25 stones
thinks he is the bollocks and talks loads of shit
his name is graham too
If you see him spit in his face

not sure if this has been asked elsewhere in the thread, if it has apologies.  What do you do for a living paul?

unemployed!

ROFL

lol - i'm reporting you for benefit fraud, £500 for me...your clearly a self employed trader!

a self employed hero!

who said i am on benefits?

true - bad joke

apologies

Can't wait for the next installment. 'Handbags at Dawn'

Spokesman for Liverpool City Council

opportunistic blokes pushing girls out of the way to get hold of shoes to sell on for a profit? whatever next?!! ;D

Sigh there was £50 available at 1.01 on betfair and i passed!

Not good at selling items

does this sound ok

Jimmy Choo for H&M
Brand new with original tags, dust cloth and box.
A beautiful and stunning pair of heels by Jimmy Choo for H&M
Stunning zebra print suede with diamantes
Size  UK 6 eur 39 us 8
These shoes are completely sold out throughout England
Perfect for a Christmas present or a gift. 

how about leaving the for H&M out of it? maybe some people haven't heard about it and will think they are worth more?

well played so far btw  :)up

Sounds excellent

"I have 100% positive feedback and have been selling on Ebay for x years so bid with confidence"

ps I would sell with Turbolister

Would stagger the items 20 mins apart so you are not crowding out your own results in search.

Sell with an account with DSRs if possible, otherwise the items will appear lower in search leading to a reduced selling price, maybe.

Open an account with www.auctiva.com so that those reading your listing can see a carousel of all the other shoes you have too.

check out how the ladies advertise 'well worn' shoes, they are absolute pro's and you could prob pick a thing or two up from them...

When will these shoes go on general sale?

Is there any value in waiting a couple of weeks til nearer Xmas to sell them?

Ebay goes mental on the run up to xmas.

That doesn't answer my first question.

But thanks for the input.

leave it in imo - I'm looking to get my hands on a pair and watching a couple of listings - I typed 'jimmy choo h&m' in the search box, as will others I expect.

Probs better to sell them when there is still hype around them

trafford centre only has one pair of womens shoes left.
I will phone the one in the city when its open

the bags seem like a good seller.

Trafford will be recieveing more bags and accessories tomorrow.

Sell the biggish shoe ftw!

Dont have a clue Stuart is gonna be listing them
his account is andyharrhy

abit of a ebay noob

nah 'for H&M' is right

A beautiful and stunning pair of heels by Jimmy Choo for H&M
Brand new unworn with original tags, dust cloth and box.
100% Authentic

Stunning zebra print suede with diamantes

Size  UK 6 EUR 39 US 8


These shoes are completely sold out throughout England

Perfect for a Christmas present or gift.  

The shoes will be sent by recorded delivery

I have 100% positive feedback and have been selling on Ebay for x years so bid with confidence

Remember that shoes with leather sole are more vulnerable to water. We recommend that you replace the sole and the top piece of the heels before using the shoes.(shall i include this? This info was given on the site and told when buying the shoes)

I'd leave it off, if necessary drop it in a 'thank you for your bid' email to winning bidder. It would scare people imo, and it's up to the buyer to use common sense with these things.

She's right

ah yest just twigged that bit  ;hide;

Paul, please can you be my chinese dad?

Have you worked out delivery charges etc ? Always make an xtra 5-10 £ per pair here. Every penny counts.

I think i will charge about 7£ for postage

just phoned the city branch they are sold out and the gay thinks that its sold out everywhere

Paul mate, caught up with this thread earlier, awesome :)up   rotflmfao

Description pretty good!

Is it just my screen or do some of the pics look a bit on the dark side?

The pics look ok to me.
The pics were taken by my gf.

Thought it was agreed that all auctions should end on a Sunday Evening?

lol @ buying 14 pairs of shoes when there's 300 people in the queue behind you and then having a moan that it was unfair that you couldn't get 16 or w/ever.

I have started the ball rolling with a bid :)

I will list the rest starting at 530 pm every 15 mins

not too good with ebay soorry
I hoped

Try from 8 pm every 15 mins or so.

Its Ebay peak times.

Done
 gonna relist the better sellers to peak times

Well i am not queuing for 10 hours and ONLY gonna buy a few pairs.

A few tards queued up for 11 hours for ONE pair of shoes!!

All I'm saying is that it sounds like you did well so congrats (and stop f***ing whinging!)

Good luck with the auctions.

Relisted everything

Starting from 6 30 pm to 10 00 pm

The more popular products are from 8 00 pm to 9 45 pm

Product every 15 mins


Do you think a large Jimmy Choo carrier bag is expensive at £5?

Says seller has no items for sale ??

Links please.


Ahhh just read your post properly ... auctions dont start til 6.30pm.

haha i done the same thing till i properly read what paul wrote.

yes, very, but think im selling so leave it at £5 and rip em off

pls scan Jimmy choo bag and link to pic here so we can print and glue to Tesco bag. There a nits on this thread too ya know.

Go go Paul

Sorry would have listed but had 4 bottles of rose and jagerbombs last night and the only way to make it right was pints and rum this afternoon.

About to go bed,

night. x

My m8s call me gay for drinking rose, but my god it gets me fucked quicker than anything else.

Ask WarBwastard about rose wine.
 ;scarymoment;

FYP

nh

And they don't call u gay for getting topless guys numbers after footy on a Thurs?

If YOU get a phone you might be lucky enough to be hit on.

Ha, i still don't get why you took a topless guys number in the car park though!?

He's the guy thats gonna replace you.  :)

Do u gays want a pair of jimmy choos

they probably do mate tbh  ::)

I am getting some emails from people wanting to end the auction early
But I was wondering how much you would want to accept straight away?

double or double and a half?

treble minimum

+1

Glad to see the demand is there for these and you're going to make a tidy profit from them.

:)up

Good luck with this - hope it works out well - I've had a look and most auctions are starting their price at the purchase price rather than zero - just a thought.

Article in the Mail online today :


Bargain-hunters queued for up to 14 hours to get their hands on the designer's cut-price range for H&M, where prices started at £49.99.
The shoes sold out within hours of going on sale on Saturday, after shoppers camped out in gale-force storms to secure a pair of towering high heels.
Less than 24 hours later, hundreds of pairs of shoes were for sale on eBay, where bidders paid double for the sold-out styles.

A strappy pair of black 'Cage' heels, originally priced at £79.99, sold for £155 after 16 bidders fought it out for the designer shoes.
Peep-toe boots originally sold for £99.99 were auctioned for £200, and a pair of £180 leather thigh-high boots reached more than £300 before their owner apparently decided they could not bear to sell them.

Hundreds were turned away empty-handed after styles sold out.
Jimmy Choo shoes are a celebrity favourite and prices normally range from £200 to £800.

However, shoppers who paid inflated prices on eBay could be in for a disappointment.

An H&M spokeswoman said stocks would be replenished and that some sold-out styles would be available again tomorrow.
 

So you might want to sell while the going is good?

Anyway loving the thread - anything entreupenerial is ok with me! ;applause;

I'd be inclined to end the auctions early for £150ish, as most of the auctions seem to be finishing below that amount, and there are a few buy it now's listed around that price. If what Trace has said is right then you could be shooting yourselves in the foot holding out til the auctions finish at the weekend.

Trace, presume they've started the auctions at zero to save on fees and generate more interest. Thanks for posting that btw - I feel a little trip to Westfield coming on tomorrow :)

Thats bollocks I phoned up 3 H&Ms on sunday and they said they are all sold out and will not be getting any more in stock.
I have seen the black cage shoes go for 200+ too

I've just read another article that says new stock from today. I'm going to hit the shops this afternoon - will let you know the score.

Bout 100 pairs on the shelves at westfield - only 4 different designs tho (obv not the ones i want)

Always start all auctions at 0.01, it means more people bid on them initially increasing the general interest.

Imo do not end any auctions early, if someones willing to pay 3 times the purchase price then they will bid that at some point and that will push the sale price up.

Paul
Are you replying to any messages on ebay? Ive just spent half an hour at work going through all the emails!

Mine was the straight rose as I was out with a lady.
If its your general drink of choice then you probably should be a little worried about your sexuality.

Red wine and white wine are fine but rose is just not quite right.

Yeah have been replying to email stuart!
I didn't think it will be a problem!

Which designs are there?


Just rang 3 store which confirmed that they will not be getting any more choos?

No problem at all mate.
Just let me know if i need to do anything, otherwise I will assume you have it all in hand.

is there a link to the ebay page?

http://shop.ebay.co.uk/andyharrhy/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686

The only question that I have is about payment. Is paypal a problem? And who will get the payment?

zomg its almost as if the decision was pre planned at a corporate level!!

the ones they had weren't very nice imo so could have been left from original stock. A couple of pairs of peeptoe ankle boots, about 10 pairs of studded pumps and about 40 pairs each of black studded sandals and some gold bejewelled monstrosities that looked like blokes shoes but for the sizes. I asked a woman if they were expectingmore stock of the other designs but she didn't know.

No its not a problem, I just have a personal hatred of Paypal and the way your forced to use it.
What did you put in the paypal box when you listed them?

I think it should have been set to stuart@monarchuk.com

If thats the case my epic grimming plan is well underway.

I have just left it as paypal@monarchuk.com
Shall I change it?

We have sold 3 carrier bags

A girl might want another one so I am gonna charge her £2 for shipping for each additional one.

I think Stuart will have to process the payments etc etc

A girl from denmark has bought one too
I dunno how much I will charge for that one. maybe 15£?


Also today I phoned H&M headoffice and they confirmed that they wont be getting any more stock

Lol if you can get her to pay £15 sweet.

It will probably cost you about £3 to send.

Are you sure to Denmark?
they are pretty big bags
and I will use the finest cardboard and wrapping papper for packaging.

Can you confirm that you have recieved payment from ppl so I can ship straight away.

Charged her 10£ for shipping which I think is reasonable.

Which pumps?
These selll fast and can double your money easyily imo

they were black ones with silver stud thingies on

When all is done I say take the proceeds from the shoe sales and try to spin them up by buying a few dodgy motors and giving them a paint.

then drive then round to trigg's house and sit outside bibbing

or buying silk ties from india and selling them

China pay a premium for steel too. I know someone thats made 50k in a week selling steel to the chinese!

Great word rotflmfao

Is this bibbing?

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bibbing

If so then hell yeah that sounds like plan

surely u have heard of bibbing before or is it sarf london origin??

I am prob not street enough to understand what bibbing is

I reckon they're all weird mate, everyone knows bibbing


yep, that's it

and they call rolls cobs??

bibbing

http://www.youtube.com/user/bpgatso#p/u/6/Mz6znkL37cw

(won't let me embed for some reason)

6 secs??

 that went on for ages was so com as well

lol, exactly. 6 cars full of blondes bibbing away

good to see rookie's little lime green number with the chessboard on top again

I see

can we have links to auctions please?

http://shop.ebay.co.uk/andyharrhy/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686

Cheers looking goood for 5 days left

Just had a gander! Looks good! Good luck all invested hope u make a tidy profit!

Do you have a back up plan for somebody to bid on a pair say if they are not looking likely to sell for a profit?

Plan probs not to talk about it on public forum if so.

Violates some kind of e-bay t&c I would imagine.

gg that nice ebay account if you get an answer to this on here!

Just seen this in OP, so com

paul is legend.

I give him shit whenever possible but he is best blonde poster in arse end of 2009

starting to think I should have picked up a couple of the nasty pairs I saw today - probs could have shifted them for a small profit just on the name.

haha, incred.

il take the last 10% btw!

lol

just ship me my profit

Cheers :)

All the bags have been sold.
99p for a bag £4 shipping and for each addtional bag +£2 shipping


1 person wanted 3 bags sold for £11
another wanted 2 bags £8
3 other ppl wanted one each. A guy from denmark bought one but he didnt like the fact i am charging him £10 for p+p. So he might pull out. £10/£21

 :dontask:

He is from Denmark
the bag is huge (A2 size)

I had to cut my noodle box up so it will support the bags and wont bend it whilst being shipped.

Paul your fucking amazing

Il take triggers 10% also if he hasnt paid! Thanx

I will sell you the 20% if you pay me in 15 KFC buckets @ 9.99 each (gravy and coleslaw) and 47 happy meals that are all different in permutation.

I'll give you two fish fingers

who is SONIA RYKIEL?

Your not gonna get me queing 10 hours for “Queen of Knits”  underware!

If things don't progress and he doesn't eat the P&P costs plz to be telling him to fuck off and build his own bag out of lego.  :D

currently spamming facebook msn all other social networking sites  about

http://shop.ebay.co.uk/andyharrhy/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686


Hopefully increase prices!

Just went to the post office to send the bags and asked about shipping to Denmark

They said its too big and need to send it as a parcel which will cost £21.99!

the bags are expensive to ship too £4.11
If they was an inch shorter it would cost £2 something.

pretty gay

£21.99!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol WTF

Are you sending them flat?

yes u cant really bend them it will ruin the bags.

Roll them in a tube?

Total bid so far in total is £517.85 so over half way to breaking even with 5 days left.

Why was it set up to increase bids by 1p?  Surely best to make it by £1???

How about a sweepstake for total amount?

Seller can control those increments?

Yeah on auction set up there are 3 boxes.

Staring Price
Reserve Price
Bid increments

more fun for buyers though when you can put in your max bid as £100.03 to try to bag those bargains from the £100 max bid peeps :D

Please don't outbid me on the blue shoes, I wanna nick em and then re sell them when the glut of Jimmy Choo's has finished. :)

Excellent thread. This should just be the beginning though and I agree profits need to be spun up further. You should stick to what you know though. And you don't know about dodgy motors. You know about fashion. And you know how to queue. So queing for suits or fur coats is the next logical step. Wimbledon tickets would also be a winner. Maybe the profits from this investment could be used to purchase a small tent and basic camping provisions. Yeah Paul thought the guy with the tent in the Choo queue was a saddo but let's not be too hasty here. Don't forget this guy was in 1st place and he was obviously very well prepared. That guy was a pro. Let's be that guy.

good post!

While you got wet and cold and battered by the wind he was comfortable dry and out of the wind! Not really a loser IMO!

I shant be bidding on any choos - I picked up some nearly-as-nice-as-the-choos-red-sandals red shoes yesterday from Debenhams, and they were 40% off :D Should probs be on the mini-ship it thread actually

The guy in a tent was a girl she was warm but she get pissed ppl shouting IS ANYONE THERE every 2 mins and the whole tent being shaken every 20 mins they queued up for 12 hours for one pair of shoes. Pretty drastic imo. She could just bought it off me for 400 on ebay the next day:D

But then again I would do that for a super limited trainer
Lol

You want as many bidders involved as possible so pennies are the best.

The more bids you have the more attractive you auction looks.
Anyone who bids then receives emails to say you have been outbid, this item is ending etc
Every extra bid pushes up the price in general as its all just a build up for those last 20 seconds when anyone who knows how to use ebay bids.

Yeah, why would anyone bid at any time other than the last 20 seconds? It's like duhhhhhhhhh!
Ebay recommends that you choose how much you're prepared to pay then go ahead and bid that asap so it doesn't 'get away. Errr duhhhhhh!
If I want to buy a ton of stuff (like coming up to xmas) I just open a new ebay account, run a trial at www.bidnapper.com and let it snipe the last second for me.

I've never had anything to do with ebay, I think they are a scummy operation.

However I must admit Sunday is going to be a fun sweat.

Dont tell everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not everyone can be at a computer when a said auction is ending though...

they will crease!

Also the remainding money that we have from the purchase of the shoes will go into postage and packaging for the shoes.

Unless someone objects?

It's how they distribute posters which are far more likely to be devalued by creasing...

posters are just a single sheet of paper though - if they're good quality carrier bags, which i presume they are, they'll get wrecked by being rolled up.

Is anyone keeping an eye on other auctions ?

Are any sizes/styles out selling others ?

have any been sold at a loss ?

Thanks for that idea Kev

Right then, seeing as it appears we wont be making any money on the shoes who is up for a $25 sweepstake for the total selling price on ebay for the 14 pairs, and carrier bags not including postage or fees.

My guess

£1127.63

I think we will make some profit. May be not a great amount.


When I was doing this for trainers you was guarenteed to trebble your money easy. Some trainers even make 10 times the cost.


I thought with such a big collaberation this is a guarentee money maker.
But the problem is that there is sooo much choice in styles make this opportunity not as lucrative.
With trainers there was only one design available which everyone wanted. Therefore hyping up the price.


Things like guarenteed sold out concert tickets and sporting events might of been a better choice.

+EV on entertainment value anyway mate, wp

I have just been lookking at size 6s
Not many have been sold at a loss
Some shoes have not been sold at all due to high starting prices and/or reserve prices
The best sellers seem to be the cage shoes and the peep toes and the zebra heels. The over knee boots sell for quite abit too.
