Do people really buy free catalogs on eBay? I could be making a fortune with all the VS catalogs I throw away. Stick Out Tongue
OMG!! I know..Need to look this up right now...but I usually just mark mine up with things I want.
Yes, that knot front dress was me!! I am still eying 3 colors! shake head I can't get enough!

I know Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) . Now when I was young, I did wear hand-me-downs from my brothers- T-shirts that were waaaaay too big. But it was cool back then... I think Scratchchin
Thanks! Need to reorder something they won't give me a price adjustment for Evil and this code makes it even better
I remember oversized shirts!! laugh out loud
You'll be fine on the reorder.
And, darn me for throwing away my duplicate catalogs! I searched and they seem to be all old ones. I guess I'll see if I should be selling some of mine now shake head laugh out loud

I've return and rebought the same items because it already past the adjustment period and I got credited back the higher $$ based on the invoice I returned.

Be careful with that. Even if you use the Order Form from the higher-priced item, VS searches to see if you purchased it at a lower price and credits as search.
I'm sorry that happened to you. It has never happened to me. With the return/re-buy, I always use the original order form and not the fill-in one, but maybe we've all been lucky? IDK.

Remember that they had the plastic shirt clips to weave your shirt through to make it smaller? It was as if someone had seen the poor/destitute doing this to make their clothes fit out of necessity and decided to turn it into a fashion statement for people that could afford to buy clothes that fit, but don't for fashion's sake shake head Le sigh

I'm not sure it's worth it for how much trouble it is. I've sold some of DH's Rolling Stone mags in the past that I didn't think he would miss Evillaugh , but I think I got almost $10 for some of those. Take out shipping, eBay, and Paypal's cut...it wasn't much. Catalogs seem to go for way less. I also worry about who I'd be selling to... RS is surely mostly collectors/fans but lingerie catalogs? I'm not sure I want to know Yuk

I shipped back some returns on the 28th. It says Picked Up and Processed by Agent, Parcel Return Service. What does that mean? TIA Smilie

Quote from kurips :
mine are going down and out : eek:
Oh the joys of having babies.

Quote from Tizzylicious :
Maybe VS is really owned by men who think like my DH where it's always the right place??? : dontknow:
You may be onto something. Teehee

Quote from Tizzylicious :
Just shove those suckers in a Angels/VS push up and that will fix you right up. :lmao :
That's my usual solution.

Quote from Tizzylicious :
Yes! Today I got in. VS seems to think I'm really stupid and that I had the cap lock on when putting in my passwords. Even tho I specifically told them I copied and pasted the password and username from the email they sent into the fields. :r olleyes:
I'm glad it worked out.

Quote from Tizzylicious :
Guess they can't handle our girls. ; )
That could be it. laugh out loud

Quote from Stardust42 :
: lol: That just made me laugh! I also think mine are not as perky as before, I started wearing a bra to sleep. :blush :
I always wore a bra to bed, before my DH came along too. He'd go postal, if I wore one now. He doesn't even like me to wear one around the house. He's all about easy access. Wink

Quote from Stardust42 :
I don't buy a lot of bra tops but I love the halter ones [victoriassecret.com]. There's quite a few in clearance.
Thanks for the review. I've been looking at those. I may have to give one a try.

I get so many duplicates I could never mark up all of them. I keep one of each & turn down pages for the things I want. The others get trashed. I've probably thrown away 20 in the last couple weeks with all the purchases & back orders I've gotten in. shake head

Good point. It does seem like a lot of trouble. I need to check eBay to see if it would be worth it. Who knew people would buy free catalogs?

I had lots of those plastic circles. We wore them with long tie-dye tops & leggings. Dressing like that was in at the time. laugh out loud

I would worry about pervs too. Like azn, I wouldn't want them having my address.

PRS is a service that allows you to drop off at USPS and then picked up by an courier agent. So your scan means it has left the USPS facility.

No need to be sorry. I return a high volume of items. It began happening to me within the last 12 months. I have never used a fill-in form, so it is not due to that. It is not a big deal. I usually purchase items at the price I am willing to pay anyway.

Thanks. It says Picked Up by Shipping Agent on the 30th, then Picked Up & Processed on the 3rd. When should it get to VS? That seems like a lot of time, between picking up & processing. I'm afraid it's going to get lost. It had about $160 worth of merchandise in it.
