Reselling the H&M Moschino 2018 collaboration

Last year was the H&M Erdem collaboration.  This year was the H&M Moschino collaboration.  I was a bit more excited this year because Moschino is a bigger name than Erdem.  Once again, I had to wake up at 5AM PST, but hey, money never sleeps.  It’s a good thing I’m a blogger because I had forgotten what happened during last year’s drop.  This year, once again, they were about 5-7 minutes late.  Last year, the app loaded faster than the desktop.  However, this year for me, my desktop loaded before the app.  It was odd because I had some friends buy items as well, and they couldn’t access the web site even though I was busy picking out items.

 

What items to buy

Unlike my rookie mistake last year of buying men’s items (I am still trying to sell the shoes,) I went for women’s items this year – I bought a couple of purses, some dresses, some sweaters, etc.  I figured the purses would be hot and since I was getting free shipping this year, I went ahead and bought the 3 purses in one order.  I then went back to browse the others.  All in all, I bought about 6 orders.  With a 7 day return policy, I figure I could list them while they were in transit.  If they didn’t sell within a week, I could just return.

I also made another rookie mistake this year of buying about $1200 of Raise H&M gift cards at 25% off at midnight.  Well those lazy bums didn’t process the order until 6AM, which was way past the drop.  I was able to pick up a few scraps of items over the next couple of days to use up the gift cards.  I was hoping to return and rebuy with the gift cards in store once I got the items in, but not sure if they would let me do that.

 

Lessons Learned

Buy women’s accessories!  Also, Raise may not process your gift cards in time, so I should have bought that during the day before.  You had 7 days to return, so if you’re by an H&M store, this was a pretty risk free reselling opportunity.
