How to Get 80% Off Menswear Every Time: My Secret Step-By-Step Process

About this video

The Gazette team teaches viewers how to build a high-quality menswear wardrobe at a deep discount by shopping secondhand on platforms like eBay, Facebook Marketplace, and Poshmark. The speaker covers essential strategies including knowing precise garment measurements, understanding different sizing systems across brands, strategically searching for items, making offers to sellers, and carefully evaluating condition before purchase.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team emphasizes that accurate garment measurements (chest, shoulder width, sleeve length, and jacket length for jackets; inseam and waist for pants; collar size and sleeve length for shirts) are critical to successful online shopping and proper fit.
• The Gazette team recommends searching for pre-owned items strategically by starting with jackets, then pants, then shirts and accessories, using multiple search techniques including misspelled brand names, partial brand searches, and specific size parameters to find quality pieces at significant discounts.
• The Gazette team advises viewers to add items to watch lists to potentially receive seller offers, make polite counteroffers on listings, check seller stores for additional matching items, and search desktop browsers rather than apps for access to advanced filtering options that include full description searches.
• The Gazette team suggests focusing searches on quality vintage and pre-owned items with minimal visible damage, avoiding orphaned suit jackets and heavily faked designer brands, and shopping consistently over time rather than in marathon sessions to find the best selection of new listings.
