A new challenger has appeared!
Vertex badge listed on their site for $50 a pair. http://www.vicelifestyles.com/produc...edition-badges When you can buy them all day long for under $10. Here's another ridiculous mark up on an item that is readily available - Origin Labo coveralls listed for $300! http://www.vicelifestyles.com/produc...labo-shop-suit They can be purchased new for ~$118. |

But, if those badges are $10, and they are being shipped in an envelope over seas, that's about $30. $10 + $30 = $40, quick maths. The end seller is making $10 over list price. Now we haven't factored in shipping from vertex to the destination in Japan, pre-shipping. Nor are we even considering if there is a broker involved. So how much are they really making over a savy buyer getting it direct?

They buy parts in bulk. Emblems don't add weight, so they are shipping for free essentially. It's a stupid mark up on a $5 badge. Anyway, that was just a small example. The Origin coveralls are the real crime. Last edited by bigs; 01-17-2018 at 11:23 AM.. |
