8

The Raw Truth: Selling Denim on eBay and Knowing Your Audience

0

Let me provide a little background to this story: I’m a bit of a denim head. I have a burning love for raw, premium denim. Something about buying jeans with wear patterns, fading, and holes already strategically placed on the indigo canvas seems a bit too disingenuous to me. There’s something special about getting a nice, stiff -- and, truth be told, fairly uncomfortable -- pair of raw denim jeans and wearing those suckers ‘til they feel like your favorite pair of flannel pajamas. It’s a process of love; one that harkens back to the days of shrink-to-fit Levi’s. The wear patterns on your jeans tell your story. Work on a ranch? The ground-in dirt and fading at the knees will show it. Mechanic? Oil stains make for some of the best storytellers -- coffee stains too, for that matter.

For his first attempt at selling on eBay, Andy set a starting price of $9.99 and opted not to use a listing template. For his second attempt, he decided to go about things a little differently. ...
