Smash and Grab Question

So I had no idea this existed. I've never owned Jiberish clothing, mainly because it's so expensive. But my question is, is that why there is so much Jiberish in large sizes that used to be hard to find for sale for cheap?

I know this should be in gear talk, but more people go in here.

I missed the whole thing, so I just want to know, is that why so much jiberish, especially the puffeh are going so cheap?

because excess quantities drive the prices down. and smash and grab caused sudden increase in the jiberish owned and sold by nsers

right, more supply, less demand. That's why when jiberish was so hard to get, it was so expensive. I just didn't realize there was a smash and grab, and I guess certain pieces no one wants, which is awesome because I really like the puffeh vests!


Also, had I bought one, I would have kept everything, because that's a good price for any clothing really. Oh well, so really everyone is trying to flip right now? I couldn't figure out why there was brand new still in the bag jiberish pieces that sell for say 115 going for 60 and no one was buying.....because they were bought for 40 is what you guys are saying?

They had boxes of jiberish on sale on Abstract Mall, ie Smash and Grab. Inside they had pieces of jiberish that cost around $30-$40 each.

Yeah lots of flippes who pieces were bought at $36 and now trying to sell for 50+, but there is such an overflow of the same piece that they couldn't really do it. I sold all the pieces I didn't like for 30 bucks to my friends.

Jiberish will probably do another one because it was a great way to clear out inventory.
