Buying Boden on ebay

3 replies

I'm not really an ebay user, but I have a quick browse occasionally. I was looking at the mini-boden and they have quite a lot of stuff that is classed as Ex-boden, the tags have been cut out to prevent store returns. Has anyone bought this stuff before, is it ok? Is it proper Boden quality?

Here is one example

I couldn't be absolutely sure that they are real, but my DD has 2 of the tops in the picture and they look identical.

They would have to be amazing fakes to get them so close.

Tags snipped out is normally done at source when they flog v slight flawed items and overstocks to companies at a reduced price. These then filter down to market stalls and ebay sellers.

I've never had a problem

I also think these are items with slight faults -- most one wouldn't notcie (slipped stitch somewhere). I would go ahead & buy if it is an item you are looking for.

I don't have a girl but 10 GBP for a flawed Boden shirt seems a bit high. With all the discounting (and at sale time) I think I pay around that for new boys t shirts from Boden.
