The Problem With Grailed 

We don't need another Lil Yachty Clears Out His Closet Sale; We Need Change.

when a i6w9cel says something so grailedphobic so you gotta hit them with the Avant Garde x If Six Was Nine x Japanese Brand stare

So glad someone has finally said this. The multi tagging for “Japanese brand” has truly been the downfall of humanity.

Bro went ghost for 11 months and dropped this banger. Best wishes to u

If they added the option to filter out, that would finally let me search for Fear of God without being overrun with Fear of God essentials

Grailed sellers after listing used 💩stained supreme boxers as "IF SIX WAS NINE X HYSTERIC GLAMOUR"

Good suggestions but unfortunately the whole reason Grailed is so cooked now is because it got bought out by GOAT in 2022. Everyone who was originally involved has either cashed out or got fired. Say what you want about pre 2022 Grailed, it obviously had a ton of issues but it was still ultimately founded and staffed by people actually passionate about archival fashion. While the updates and moderation often left a lot to be desired that was sort of a by product of the site being run by fashion enthusiasts and not silicon valley and VC types. Which is exactly who now controls the site. Grailed also never turned a profit and I have no doubt GOAT gutting it's staff was the first step in trying to fix that. Next step is definitely not going to be more improvements and features. It's probably going to be raising fees and gutting features (like deleting all sold listings older than 30 days or something equally retarded). Chances are 5 years from now you'll look back on the shitty blown out 2024 version of Grailed and wish it still existed. I forsee the site either becoming insanely more shitty or GOAT just cuts their losses and shuts it down completely / folds it into GOAT itself. Also Japanese second hand sites are insanely cursed now too. I guess it depends on the brands you're into but for a lot of stuff there's an insane amount of Chinese fakes now. The worst part is they buy from themselves to get a bunch of 5 star reviews and they'll use photos of legit product so it's basically impossible to tell if a listing is fake or not. They're fully aware of how most stuff being bought on Japanese sites these days is foreigners with proxy services. The thing is, proxy services specifically DON'T cover insurance for fakes. So for the Chinese it's the perfect scam. When your obviously fake shit arrives in the mail you basically have no recourse. The proxy service won't refund you because they use a buyer beware policy. So there's a stupid ass wall between you and the Chinese scammer who ripped you off. Even with how bad Grailed is today you can still generally get your money back if someone sends you fake shit. You report it to Grailed and they'll refund you. Worst case you open a Paypal dispute and that usually solves it. Zero chance of that happening with the Japanese sites. And if you open a dispute they'll ban you for life from proxying anything else ever.

GRAILED NEEDS TO ADD A DARK MODE

Grubby is the best word to describe the whole grailed system and mindset.

I haven’t used Grailed in like 2 and a half years but recently I went on there because I missed a relatively cheap piece I wanted and resellers hiked the price of to insane levels and I was so damn angry

the poe x grailed crossover I didn't know that I needed

Ebay has a huge amount of Japanese sellers that have buyee level prices with free shipping for Japanese brands or brands popular in Japan

I started my vintage clothing shopping last year on grailed, but once I dipped my toes on ebay I rarely have bought anything on grailed since. Prices are higher, accounts are shadier, and returns are a drag. Ebay just worked better and had more variety, albeit the site is more antiquated. Additionally the search filters on Ebay actually work!

everytime i see "x japanese brand x lgb" on grailed i punch my laptop screen. this is my 9th laptop this year.

"Grailed has a problem with how the filter system works. To compare, here's the filter system in League" Never change FHTV, never change

Walmart Denim x vintage x japanese streetwear x couture x hype x omlette du fromage

Do some more 10 notable fashion brands. Brands I’d like to see is Xander Zhou or we11done. Also, what are some fashion subreddits to browse, other than r/streetwear or r/sneakers or the rep-subreddits?

Xianyu as a whole is mostly reps. Its a great source for them yes, but i would be really warry

I actually remember sitting in my senior class browsing acronym for a jacket after learning how much I'd get in student grants for college.

I FRICKING LOVE WHEN MR FHTV UPLOADS A NEW VIDEO

Serious comment time: i stopped using grailed a few years ago because of this issue with how abused the filter system is and just how obvious the admins favor stunts over actually making the site better. Hell ive bought more from SSENSE and weirdos from Canada thsn Grailed. Depop is a decent alternative especially for like used jeans and leather jackets, but it still has the same issues as Grailed where sellers are obviously bloating the tags to sell their 2014 era Gap jacket. I guess what im trying to say is that when the feeling of buying/reselling clothes becomes basically an industry that focuses more on gaming the algo rather than an actual community of people who love the things theyre buying and selling, it makes everyone equally as depressed and scummy. Like im trying to sell my Yohji x Tomie hoodie because i just dont wear it anymore and i want to sell it to someone who actually loves this stuff rather than risk seeing it on a "Whats your outfit today" reel...

How could you possibly forget about the classic I6W9 x abercrombie collab

I saw peoples from my Country buying fakes, or just clothes, then selling them to peoples that have no knowleage.. Or to old peoples ,with HUGE... Prices. They buy a pair of jeans for 5-10$ from Shein ,then sell it to old peoples or peoples with no clues, for 30-40$ a pair... I even saw this happening on the stores.

Yeah Grailed has a serious problem with junk listings. One thing I see that wasn't mentioned is the plague of obviously drop-shipped garbage that comes up whenever you search using keywords instead of specific brands. Another thing is the insane amount of 5+ year old listings from accounts that are obviously inactive, which Grailed refuses to remove for some reason.

Nice vid. Out of curiosity, what do you consider to be a fair comission percentage for both parties? (the seller and grailed)

I found my best luck to be with discord communities as it pertains to reselling and getting to know people you can trust but it's not as convenient and reliable as a website like grailed can be. It sucks because I'm not sure where I can really sell my items besides cosignment shops in toronto which can show clothing im trying to move past from to a large amount of people.

I also want to add: Scalpers or resellers selling stuff they obviously don't have. How many times have you seen a new balenciaga hoodie with different sizes for like $1000 and it's just stock photos of the garment?

Grailed bad 🗣️

that pronunciation of xianyu is wild

Hey dude! What were this Grailed alternatives u mentioned? Appreciate it dude!

I hate how they let anyone post. A lot of the sellers are actually just extensions of existing stores. They don't even have real photos, they use stock ones. Not to mention, the biggest sellers just overprice everything.

I message sellers occasionally saying in a condescending way that they might want to know that their i6w9 hoodie is actually abercrombie and fitch

Did bro put bf3 music in the background?

I feel violated every time I use this website

can you make a video like 2023 trends or something like rise of erd and stuff

on the nose mark fisher refererance, I'm here for it

depop houses tag horrors that you can't even fathom.

The biggest offender of this is Fear of God. I want to find deals the luxury label, NOT Essentials. Grailed needs a Luxury vs Essentials category for FOG.

You can’t post to grailed if its brandless, you also can no longer ship anything reasonably

Selling Astral Plate: 5-Link (R-R-R-B-G), T3 Health, T2 Fire & Lightning Res., T4 Percentage Armor. Iconic piece from the early 2010s. Worn, but still in great condition. Asking price of 23 Chaos. No low-balling, I know what I’ve got.

I went to the locked in factory and they said you start next week

BEST FASHION CHANNEL! KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING

Brooooo you can't slip in a PoE reference, these are my two hobbies that shalt not converge

Grailed needs to do a kanye west warehouse sale

You know you bout to be hit with a bucket of Japanese brand slop when the seller puts the 🔥 in all their listings 😤

I'm tired of the obviously drop shipped/mass produced fart of an item you find when searching for accessories and or jewelry. This along with the terrible ways to search and filter for misbranded things make grail a nightmare.

who is keeping depop in business in 2024

*Me just sitting here in wrangler denim, and a plain white t-shirt.*

Why did u remove the chrome heart wojack 😿

Bought "hysteric glamour" jeans and the were some offbrand bootcut jeans that are like 10% elastane, i just want some hysteric glamour

Love when sellers take $5 stained ripped thrift hoodies and curl the sleeves to make it a $1000 item

this is called keyword stuffing and--by scummy sellers--tagging for exposure. pretty common on mercari and poshmark too. you can at least report it on mercari, but listings like this don't always get taken down.

Vestiaire collective is the new move for sellers and buyers

It’s actually annoying to browse grailed now. Most of the sellers who use those incorrect labels are based in Southeast Asia. We have more direct access to secondhand Japanese goods so there’s gonna be alot of BS listings online. One funny example i’ve seen recently are these cheap Japanese cardigans labeled as “mohair” listed for $100-$150.

i felt like a reseller selling boss invitations to buy a mageblood

Did he say Zion u after Yahoo! Japan?

I've never fully understood the mfs who buy stuff like this for absurd prices. Engaging with fashion is cool asf sure but not from the absurd consumerist POV where mfs buy shit for actually stupid prices - I think the best way is to look at cool stuff online, then thrift or eBay similar vintage things for literally like $30 that have more character. You can find old band T's and change their fit to boxy in 11mins on a sewing machine, cool 1/1 80's leather jackets can be found in London, Milan, Random US Americana outlets for like $35. Yet mfs will still buy an objectively worse quality product just because its BALENCIAGA...on fucking STUDENT LOANS. never clicked for me idk man, buy some stock instead maybe? fuck knows EDIT: Good Fashion /= Branding. Same way good music /= Music from a popular artist - It's just marketing & branding around aesthetics that helps newbies find a footing in fashion, once you're well equipped with what cuts, fabric & silhouettes you like, you can ditch branding perminantly. You can unironically find 30+ year old real indigo selvedge denim in the wild for like $25 if it's not marketed at stimulus check bois or trust fund babies.

I ordered 3 separate products from 3 different sellers Grailed. All 3 of them had problems shipping to my Contrey (Montenegro) and could not fulfill my order. If you are not living in the EU countries, USA, or some other normal country, I suggest skipping Grailed altogether.

yo bro just randomly talked about POE ninja mid video, got my follow

Fashion instagram hasn’t been the same without you king

This isn’t just a grailed problem it’s a problem with Depop too that’s the sad thing 😭

lets not forget admin accounts that straight up SPAM listings with like 3 pictures , stolen directly from the website that they're dropshipping from and without including any pics of tags or any proof of owning the item , and THEY GET THE AUTHENTICATED badge like shieet

been asking them for this for actual years

pre unfortunate how little grailed cares about their app/platform

Honestly we don't even need these big platforms all we need is a discord server or a forum or some shit services like grailed are literally just parasites

I stopped using Grailed a while ago and depop

I use Grailed to find jawns then immediately offsite the sale lmfao

Buying on Grailed is HELL Selling on Grailed is HELL Grailed is HELL

You can still get steals on grailed just lowball oldheads who havent used the app in a while and wanna sell their clothes for old people reasons

based saturnstormcube mention

I'm one min and 11 sec in and youre already speaking the truth. this is a habit of mine but i always scroll down for the comment section

what is that chinese spyware app called?

yeah ive pretty much given up ever purchasing a lemaire item on grailed since uniqlo u for this exact reason. bunch of clowns reselling uniqlo pants for 120 and listing UNIQLO X LEMAIRE!!!!!!:D

didnt know my path of exile addiction would be refueled here. unsubbed!! (i love you)

I hate selling on Grailed, but I am stuck there cause there is nowhere else really to sell. It's so shit

Grailed deleted my listing of a supreme beanie cuz they thought it was fake. I sent them tags and detailed shots but it wasn’t enough for them, said they needed a receipt/proof of purchase. It’s a fucking beanie I bought in store when I was in high school a decade ago do you really thinking I was keeping receipts?

plz never stop posting these vids bro plz

This is my place. Ken Carson, grailed and monero mentioned in one video wow

depop is honestly a better experience than grailed

I need that Peter griffin shirt

Someone leave a like if another platform for higher end / vintage should exist besides grailed and depop!

SAID PERFECTLY... AND BRO ILL POST YEEZY SZN AND RICK SAMPLES AND MODERATORS TAKE MY SHIT DOWN FOR BEING TAGGED INCORRECTLY

is depop bad to use ?

Glad to see you making videos!

Destiny 2 and Path of Exile? 😔

yknow i dont know what you mean but i agree wholeheartedly buddy.

Someone is selling 5 dollar Supreme grip tape for the same price as a skateboard nowadays. That is not a resale, that’s a scalp. That man is scalping posers. Kinda funny but it’s fucked
