Dior Homme - posting requires reading thread rules!

I do agree with AlexN. We should report all those links, not only to protect others but to help us search better!

Do you realize some people make thier livelyhood by selling on ebay?
You should quit harrassing these sellers and just learn to deal. I have no problem reporting a seller for large offences, but just going after all these sellers seems excessive.
If someone gets ripped off, Its just a personal lesson for them to learn about being more careful next time. (How hard is it to fall for any of these things anyway?) believe it or not.. some people want to buy that old dior stuff.
Maybe Im just used to it because it is completely unregulated (spamming) on yahoo auctions.
I also don't see it as being a completely malicious practice, because I can see many people doing it to give thier item more exposure, not neccessarily to scam people.

Great, Raijin, I thought I was in a minority for supporing spam. This is totally my point. I don't know why people are so uptight having their search cluttered up by dozens of false results, often as many false as real results. People, you have to realize misrepresentation is a valid sales technique. Raijin, it's sort of like gucci watches, isn't it? People who recognize a fake should be willing to tolerate fakes because the people selling them are only trying to make a living and with theft, the crime itself is immaterial; it's the lesson the victim can take wasy from it that merits consideration. I get around a hundred spam emails daily in my my work and personal inboxes. When some of these make it thru my junk mail filters I sigh with admiration. These are enterprising business people. I just wish legislators would think about repealing the laws that make this illegal. Duplicity is just another sales technique.

Two questions. 1) What brand or store carries a comparable skinny tie for a good price. 2) Does anyone know where to still get the drop necklace? Thanks guys.

any help?

 

[dorien]

if you are worried about price, just go to your local punk store, i'm certain you should have some in NYC. around 15-20 dollars.


as for the drop necklace, i don't know what you mean. pics.

So... someone is selling gay p*rn under Dior Homme when you search on ebay. Kind of hilarious... also kind of bad because I clicked the auctions at work hahaha.

That's a nice sentiment and all, but it is irrelevant since misrepresentation and listing spamming is against the eBay TOS. It's pretty cut and dry in this case. If misrepresentation is alright in your book, what's stopping me from putting 'Dior Homme' in my iBook listing? Or my car listing? Or a pair of shoes that looks good with Dior jeans? Or a nice Hermes cologne that comes with a Dior Homme advertisement ripped from a magazine? At some point, if I'm allowed to freely spam search results, it essentially makes eBay all but useless. Who whould want to wade through thousands of spam listings?

Not to mention the issue of reliability & trust, which is also important to eBay. Think of it this way: If you, as an auctioneer & user of eBay, get annoyed and frustrated with the extraneous and misrepresented (fake or otherwise) merchandise on eBay, would you use the service? Most likely not, and your lack of patronage cuts into eBay's profit and their image as a place to get quality merchandise. eBay wants it's buyers to be satisfied with the experience. I can't recall anyone claiming to enjoy spam.

Since when was misrepresentation/duplicity a valid sales technique?! It's called fraud for a reason.

Hi, this is my first post here and please sorry for my english and very stupid questions.
I will skip any comment of the new f/w collection... anyway I need help! If somebody can, please help me...
I own just few DH items (2 shirts, a tie and a pair of sneakers) and recently I've decided to buy the jeans. 1.st (very silly) question: are raw denim and denim brut (as named in LuisViaRoma) different names for the same jeans?
Last week I went to a select shop in Udine, Italy, and I tried on a pair of denim brut 21 cm in size 29. I am short but quite slim. The waist was a little bit large, so I imagine that my size on those jeans is 28 (but they didn't have them). Anyway I was really surprised because they were quite large on my leg... and the waist quite high (I felt the crotch a little long). I thought that all dior jeans were tight and low. Then I saw the same jeans in the LuisaViaRoma site... they look baggy on that model! (2.)So...are those jeans supposed to be worn like that? Large?
The seller told me that the only difference between 19 and 21 is the opening at hem. Is that true? (3.)Aren't 19cms tight on all leg? (4.)And...if I wear a 28 on 21 cm, which size do I have to take on 19 cms? (5.)And... is the crotch same in all DH jeans or are some of them lower?
Thanks a lot

Brut and Raw are the same, I believe its just French. I tried on a pair of 21cm in 29 waist and they fit me yet were large in the leg and seemed a higher rise. A pair of 19cm in 29 waist fit a lot slimmer throught out the whole leg and lower rise. Hope that helps.

I'm at home and have the "luxury" of seeing that

What was the other posts on supporting misrepresentation? Just sigh in admiration?

Well said Andrew. BTW, are you trying to proof a point by selling "Dior" Homme" p*rn videos on ebay currently? Just kidding.

LOL... One of the dudes was wearing Dior jeans for a short while at the beginning of the video, so it's a totally valid listing.

 

[Chinor1z]

The rise of this current season's jeans seem to be higher. I measured out a pair of the blue whiskereds from this season and the rise is 10.5". A change from the old 10" rise of the past.... just something people should take into account if ordering online.

I think disstop's post went over your head...

 

[andrew]

Maybe, but there are other posters whom sincerely echo his remarks. Text isn't exactly the best platform for satire.

That's satire?? In that case, it went over my head too. Yes, satire is best left to people like Jonathan Swift. I think the rest of us should be contend with sarcasm only. No?

I think Disstop was being sarcastic there
