Buying the wrong thing on the way to the ideal one.
Currently in my mid-20’s eBay era so glad to see I’m not the only one!
Honestly I miss it. Not that I'm not still buying things on eBay, but these days it's mostly used books, Drake's ties and vintage toy soldiers.
My one and only was a not-so-gently priced HO 2011 J. Crew Thinsulate-lined duffel that fell apart in three seasons. Sad.
I bought a Brooks Brothers size medium camel hair duffle coat on eBay that turned out to be too big for me. I ended up reselling it. It was a shame, since it was so beautiful.
I've found duffel coat sizing to be really tricky. It's meant to be generous but some are just enormous.
