who is smart or stupid

To quote the song " For the more you pay, the more it's worth"

The price of goods in a free market is dependant on supply and demand, if goods are properly described (and not fakes or seconds) then the seller sets the price and the buyer makes an offer or walks away.

At the low end of the market suits are being sold at prices below the value of the fabric and elastic they are made from. While at the top end the value of materials and labour is only a small part of the sale price.

A lot of shops/stores used to double the price they pay for goods and add a bit, but then a lot of shops are closing down down.

PSD is quite right on Ebay - it's certainly not the 'bargain basement' which attracted so many buyers at the beginning of it all.
I'm also still trying to get Rimbaud111us to come clean on the Adidas team GB suit
he wants to sell (page 2 of posts on the thread in the buy and sell forum)

Addendum to Torchwatch's post above:

Antique dealers when asked the value of an item will often reply "Whatever someone somewhere is prepared to pay for it".

As this thread is for 'clever or stupid' I would say stupid of BG.
If this pic is genuine (note strange hairline) it is unfortunate is it not that someone would place the company logo in this position on TD's bum ?
