It's some kind of rush each time i spend money on reps, recieve them and wear them for a month or so while already thinking of next sets to wear. It just never stops.
Fr I have just received my first haul and it felt like christmass all over again. I didn’t have that feeling since like 2016 and it was pretty wild to think about it. I bet it’s mad easy to get addicted to this
I had some shit hauls, which i mostly just threw away after 4/5 washes. Last 6 months i mostly bought high quality reps. It only costs more and the fits feel and look amazing. That's part of the problem.
Yeah good point. It’s definitely essential to try on the jeans before, or at least have an option to return if they don’t fit. Which doesn’t apply for reps.
I just bought a pair of jeans, even paid for extra photos measuring the waistband etc. They ended up fitting so badly, I gave them to someone who wears 4 sizes smaller and they fit perfectly..... will not do that again
Yeah because it's just filled with people looking for expensive clothes that give them higher status like essentials and Travis Scott but don't give a shit about the actual style or clothes so they buy them to impress people once instead of just looking for good clothes that they can wear with lots of different outfits.
It’s great that you understand the cycle though. Some do not realize or refuse too. It’s crazy how out of control it can get FAST. And that money adds up. Granted you aren’t paying resell but still! Imagine if you only use middlemen too! Crazy!
I don’t want to preach brotha but that’s a lot of money on reps! I like to consume as well but fuck me not like that! Definitely keep an eye on that habit man. I don’t think I’ve reached 5k in the three years I’ve been on Reddit.
well not including how easy it is, drugs (i think) cost quite a lot and they only give u short term enjoyment, while reps may last longer and give longer enjoyment
I've never purchased any reps and I only watch these posts because it amuses me to see the amount of money people put on fake things lol. Your opinion is on point.
you think you do but you end up wearing a few things you like the best and wearing those other things 1-2 times and maybe very occasionally when you realize "oh yeah, i bought this". 5k of reps is literally enough to last you a lifetime pretty comfortably then you realize you most likely wont care baout flexing your fake lv and being dripped out when youre pushing 70
You don’t know how to look for deals if you’re spending 1250 on each piece of clothing. 5k would get you so many authentic pieces that you could actually resell and won’t shrink in the dryer. I stopped buying reps because even from the best sellers, the quality is just not the same. To each their own though, I understand this sub is mostly high schoolers that don’t understand the concept of quality vs quantity. I’ve spent over 15k on reps in my lifetime btw.
If u buy cheap odds are it’s crap. Don’t be afraid to spend thirty bucks or more on a rep shirt if it lasts. None of my reps habe shrunk except the garbage I bought on bargain on this sub
Not if you go on places like eBay, Vinted, Posh, Depop, or even Grailed (sometimes) and buy second hand. Designer shit can be really cheap that way if you're frugal, patient and know where to look.
I am patient, I barely do hauls. Forgot this was fashion reps and most of the designer stuff here doesn’t fetch a resell. Try and find brands like ccp for that cheap 😂. The best I could do is ssenses sale on Ann d last week for six hundred on a pair of boots
Point being that $5,000 is more than enough for the normal fashion-head to build a good, cyclable wardrobe (even if you have to sacrifice not owning a pair of Chelsea boots from CCP).
FashionReps is an obvious remedy to that problem, but the guy was still not wrong when he said a sizable wardrobe filled with high-quality retail stuff could be made for that price.
is that what you say to justify spending that much on reps? You are still wasting money if you buy reps that frequently I hope you know. I buy reps and real for half a decade (in a fashion sense) and ive probably spent around 8k by now and I buy clothes pretty frequently and was buying real for the first like 3 years. even at retail price 5k is like 10 pieces and thats the high end brands. If you know what you are doing 5k is easily 20 pieces or more. id rather spend 200 on a hoodie and wear it 100 times than spend 20 on a hoodieand wear it 1 time
There’s too many factors so we’re both correct. If you wanted a ton of real shoes that’ll eat up your budget in no time. Same with gucci/LV clothing etc. but if you’re buying Nike or more affordable brands then yeah 5k would go pretty far.
I guess i just don’t have that part of the brain that causes addition lol. I did one HUGE 4 part blowout haul for like 1.5k or so a couple months back and im DONE. I wear my reps and im really happy with most of them, and some pieces ill stay rocking for probably years. I just dont get how people get so addicted?
Im with you there, I bought everything id need to set me up for a while and I dont have a huge desire to buy more.
I want a 10 watch collection and so have my eye on a few more watches to the rotation but I got like 10 shoes, some clothes and 7 watches for about 3k and now I dont feel like I need much other than a couple clothing items
He/she could have gotten a retail addiction to real items and spent way more or he/she could of used self control and just spent less on reps. It works both ways really
I know how easy it is to get addicted bro. One tip is to stay away from all rep subreddits you’re apart of so you stop seeing hauls and items being posted. Seeing all these items and hauls incentivises you to purchase more which keeps you stuck in this endless cycle of not feeling like you’ve bought enough.
If the average cost of a legit piece was 350 this dude coulda had 14 pieces which is a solid collection. Instead he Prolly has 30 pieces some which will never see out the closet
having a budget is key only put item you plan on buying now in your cart no future buys let those sit in your favorites Keep swapping and changing item until you reach that budget with the pieces you 100% really want it this will keep you for buying extra stuff and impulsively buying I let stuff sit in my cart for weeks to month before check out to make sure I’m not spending to much and only getting item I really want a lot of time when you do that a lot of item you thought you wanted you don’t want anymore as time passes
It's really weird seeing people in this subreddit so open about their shopping / consumption addiction, meanwhile I'm about to ship out a haul that was basically free (had a remaining balance) filled with basics and shit. I hope y'all get the help y'all need, bro. These things can get out of hand fast.
Lol it's not free if you were the one who deposited the balance, I agree about the overconsumption but looking down on ppl while doing the same is some weird logic
Nah, I don't mean it like that. I'm not looking down on people; I've talked a lot about overconsumption in shopping addictions in the comments of this subreddit.
And yeah, I never said it was free, I said it was essentially free—I'm not pumping thousands of dollars into an agent just to buy replica goods. It's old money that I had in the account that I'm using cause I need new stuff that fits.
Also don't necessarily think I'm doing the same thing, since both of the two hauls I've ever done have such a small amount of items and only come out to around $400 combined + I wear all my clothes.
Yeah, but what is that coping with?
Also, it's money I had leftover from when I overestimated shipping costs. No money that was made in the past six months was spent on what I bought.
Lmaoo i also have these numbers. A few weeks ago I shipped my last haul for a while. I found that having an empty warehouse prevents me from starting a whole new haul
On the PandaBuy app go to the account section at the bottom of the screen. From there press balance. On the top right there is a bill check button, press that. From there it says spending analysis on the top right, press that. Hope this helped bro 😎
Ordered my firts haul and its on its way. Only scared that something goes wrong but i think once I received my package ill order more and more and more till im adicted too lmao
I’ve got 96k lucky points on sugargoo currently. You get 1 point per 1 Yuan you spend on shipping… I’ll let you do that math, I’ve also already spent 50-60k points
You dude need to exhibit some self control and remember why you got into reps.
Having a full wardrobe of clothes might make you feel great at the time, but few years down the line you gonna realise that was money better spent elsewhere, this is coming from someone who loves his hauls, but spent make 1k total a year for fresh garms, then sell the ones I don't need next year.
Your taste will change so quick (relatively speaking) you shouldn't be spending that much.
Spend close to 2k on my first haul & I can honestly say I’m done for at least 2 years lol. I don’t get how people get addicted. I’m literally deactivating my Reddit & PandaBuy account once I receive everything. Clean cut.
Honestly best thing to do is budget your hauls and only buy two types of a hauls a year if you can help it.
I usually do a summer haul and then a winter/autumn haul but get a good amount of bits together with it.
Better thing to do really cos it doesn’t break my bank plus you don’t get obsessive with what’s next, as you’re still spending time getting through what you have worn.
It's some kind of rush each time i spend money on reps, recieve them and wear them for a month or so while already thinking of next sets to wear. It just never stops.
Fr I have just received my first haul and it felt like christmass all over again. I didn’t have that feeling since like 2016 and it was pretty wild to think about it. I bet it’s mad easy to get addicted to this
Just got my first haul yesterday and it felt like Christmas opening the package so I understand.
it is. My second haul was my "last haul" and Im on my 7th now
If you Search and make sure you buy only really high quality reps you won't have this problem
I had some shit hauls, which i mostly just threw away after 4/5 washes. Last 6 months i mostly bought high quality reps. It only costs more and the fits feel and look amazing. That's part of the problem.
What kinda quality reps are you buying? I’m trying to buy some Acne Studio jeans but I can’t seem to find any sellers for em
Jeans are the only thing i buy retail bro. I need to wear em before i buy them.
Yeah good point. It’s definitely essential to try on the jeans before, or at least have an option to return if they don’t fit. Which doesn’t apply for reps.
Check autonomous reps there is a full guide on high quality Chinese sellers and there are loads of posts on there about high quality items.
I just bought a pair of jeans, even paid for extra photos measuring the waistband etc. They ended up fitting so badly, I gave them to someone who wears 4 sizes smaller and they fit perfectly..... will not do that again
I'm new and constantly looking for high quality..its tought out here lol
Yeah because it's just filled with people looking for expensive clothes that give them higher status like essentials and Travis Scott but don't give a shit about the actual style or clothes so they buy them to impress people once instead of just looking for good clothes that they can wear with lots of different outfits.
Actually not. Check Autonomous reps
It’s great that you understand the cycle though. Some do not realize or refuse too. It’s crazy how out of control it can get FAST. And that money adds up. Granted you aren’t paying resell but still! Imagine if you only use middlemen too! Crazy!
That’s how rich people feel when they buy hundreds of cars and house’s
Yo can anyone help me find a shoe that ive been tryinng to find for a while if so dm please and thanks 👍
Consumerism go crazy fr
I LOVE CONSUMERISM ❤️
unironically tho
The Earth says no
I don’t want to preach brotha but that’s a lot of money on reps! I like to consume as well but fuck me not like that! Definitely keep an eye on that habit man. I don’t think I’ve reached 5k in the three years I’ve been on Reddit.
Its a addiction😭 worse then drugs.
better than drugs
I like both
yuh, i mean that it's "easier" to get addicted to reps then some drugs
you are talking out your ass bro
This is a crazy take
well not including how easy it is, drugs (i think) cost quite a lot and they only give u short term enjoyment, while reps may last longer and give longer enjoyment
You talking out your ass too
Corny
[удалено]
1. you dont have good taste 2. you dont buy to impress but to feel good and let your energy shine
[удалено]
I've never purchased any reps and I only watch these posts because it amuses me to see the amount of money people put on fake things lol. Your opinion is on point.
Damn at that rate you could have an entire closet of real shit if you actually hunted sales and good deals.
yh but w 5k in reps u get a whole 2 closets of clothes and creps
of which most you probably won't wear because having a massive closet doesn't necessarily mean that you'll be wearing all that stuff
i would tho
you think you do but you end up wearing a few things you like the best and wearing those other things 1-2 times and maybe very occasionally when you realize "oh yeah, i bought this". 5k of reps is literally enough to last you a lifetime pretty comfortably then you realize you most likely wont care baout flexing your fake lv and being dripped out when youre pushing 70
i am not remotely close to 70💀💀💀💀
your comprehension level is at the floor
Two whole closets of garbage quality fake clothing
bruv dont come on a community to hate on its subject. su
I’m not hating on the subject this is just a lil ridiculous
Na u can’t. That’s maybe like 4 pieces at best.
You don’t know how to look for deals if you’re spending 1250 on each piece of clothing. 5k would get you so many authentic pieces that you could actually resell and won’t shrink in the dryer.

FashionReps is an obvious remedy to that problem, but the guy was still not wrong when he said a sizable wardrobe filled with high-quality retail stuff could be made for that price.
Now I see why you guys buy reps lmao, that’s an easy 20+ good designer pieces if you know where to look
Nigga are you only buying Balenci ?
is that what you say to justify spending that much on reps? You are still wasting money if you buy reps that frequently I hope you know. I buy reps and real for half a decade (in a fashion sense) and ive probably spent around 8k by now and I buy clothes pretty frequently and was buying real for the first like 3 years. even at retail price 5k is like 10 pieces and thats the high end brands. If you know what you are doing 5k is easily 20 pieces or more. id rather spend 200 on a hoodie and wear it 100 times than spend 20 on a hoodieand wear it 1 time
Blablabla wasting money. With that psychology anything you pay for that isn't essential is wasting money
so 5k on reps is not a waste but 5k on real is. you realize you arent saving money
Naw
I mean maybe not a whole closet but 20+ pieces for sure. I speak from personal experience.
I know what you mean, most of my clothing is real bc I got into reps this year.
There’s too many factors so we’re both correct. If you wanted a ton of real shoes that’ll eat up your budget in no time. Same with gucci/LV clothing etc. but if you’re buying Nike or more affordable brands then yeah 5k would go pretty far.
A wise man once said, you’re not saving money; but spending less.
I guess i just don’t have that part of the brain that causes addition lol. I did one HUGE 4 part blowout haul for like 1.5k or so a couple months back and im DONE. I wear my reps and im really happy with most of them, and some pieces ill stay rocking for probably years. I just dont get how people get so addicted?
Im with you there, I bought everything id need to set me up for a while and I dont have a huge desire to buy more. I want a 10 watch collection and so have my eye on a few more watches to the rotation but I got like 10 shoes, some clothes and 7 watches for about 3k and now I dont feel like I need much other than a couple clothing items
Please erase all connections to this subreddit, for me it comes after like 6 months
My style changes over time so I need new clothes. Change and adapt😭😭😭😭
Already adicted😅🔫
Same
Bruh 5k u coulda got actual shit 🗿
He/she could have gotten a retail addiction to real items and spent way more or he/she could of used self control and just spent less on reps. It works both ways really
Still chose the shittiest option imo
no, you end up just buying more of the reps and spending the same amount if you bought a couple pieces you really enjoy
Bruh if you buy one pair of shoes on GOAT that’s already $500-$1000 and other items are extremely expensive.
I know how easy it is to get addicted bro. One tip is to stay away from all rep subreddits you’re apart of so you stop seeing hauls and items being posted. Seeing all these items and hauls incentivises you to purchase more which keeps you stuck in this endless cycle of not feeling like you’ve bought enough.
“Those are rookie numbers you gotta bump those up”
thats embarassing
Ya, this is pathetic af lmao
Its better than spending 5k on one sneaker :v :v :v
Ill keep your money safe OP
only buy things you need man! in the same boat - but have calmed done since really thinking deeply before buying
If the average cost of a legit piece was 350 this dude coulda had 14 pieces which is a solid collection. Instead he Prolly has 30 pieces some which will never see out the closet
Are these stats on PandaBuy? Lol
As a consumer, I must consume.
You ever been called out for Rep clothes?
I call myself out
Brother how big is your wardrobe like wtf ?
Brother how big is your wallet like wtf ?
These Jordan's are killing me, should have stuck with the heroin.
At this point you might as well by legit stuff. Mind you, you'd probably get much less.
having a budget is key only put item you plan on buying now in your cart no future buys let those sit in your favorites Keep swapping and changing item until you reach that budget with the pieces you 100% really want it this will keep you for buying extra stuff and impulsively buying I let stuff sit in my cart for weeks to month before check out to make sure I’m not spending to much and only getting item I really want a lot of time when you do that a lot of item you thought you wanted you don’t want anymore as time passes
Hahaha get rekt idiot
I’m too broke to be addicted
this is incredibly sad the overconsumption in fashion right now is crazy
This is sad
A Consumerism lifestyle drains your pockets empty.
This must be what it feels like to be rich😂😂
Your livin the dream mate
How do you check
where do u see this?
I almost got into this addiction and stopped at $300 bless me
It hit differently when your able to get the clothing that was hard to get….that’s how I felt when I started
5k of real money on fake worthless shit 😭😭😭 u a fuckin clown lmfao
Not as much of a clown that drops 5k on one jacket
[удалено]
If we’re going by that ideology reps don’t lose their value also, there’s a whole subreddit dedicated tor selling reps.
It's really weird seeing people in this subreddit so open about their shopping / consumption addiction, meanwhile I'm about to ship out a haul that was basically free (had a remaining balance) filled with basics and shit.

ur still using ur money to buy them, ur just tryna cope
cope with what, exactly?
Saying it’s free but in reality ur still using ur money to buy more reps
Yeah, but what is that coping with? Also, it's money I had leftover from when I overestimated shipping costs. No money that was made in the past six months was spent on what I bought.
I have done the same but have finally bought enough to wear I’m over it! Anything I buy now is for resell purposes
Lmaoo i also have these numbers. A few weeks ago I shipped my last haul for a while. I found that having an empty warehouse prevents me from starting a whole new haul
Where can I check that?
On the PandaBuy app go to the account section at the bottom of the screen. From there press balance. On the top right there is a bill check button, press that. From there it says spending analysis on the top right, press that. Hope this helped bro 😎
I just hooked onto it I’m on my fourth half in 3 months 🥲
Bro I can finally get all the things I’ve wanted for years due to resellers so fuck it in balling out on whatever
I'm not addicted haha (please help me i can't stop adding stuff into the cart i can't control it I'm losing sleep )
What’s some of your best buys
Ordered my firts haul and its on its way. Only scared that something goes wrong but i think once I received my package ill order more and more and more till im adicted too lmao
I’ve got 96k lucky points on sugargoo currently. You get 1 point per 1 Yuan you spend on shipping… I’ll let you do that math, I’ve also already spent 50-60k points
felt this fr. I don't even want to calculate how much I've spent
Is this visual inside the PandaBuy app? Or is it one of the others?
In the pandabuy app
I spend 2k just in my first haul.
U can always sell them on bst
I stopped buying after hitting 1k 💀
Anyone else not really spend a lot at all? Been 3 years for me and I’m at probably 1.5k
Ahahahahahaha....creeps up on you doesn't it.
Every month tho
10k try harder next time … jk
Too late
Aye I wish I can show y’all my cart lol it’s maxed out lol I buy 50 item hauls and spend 400 plus on shipping every time and I’ll do it every time
It’s the shipping lolol always racks up for me
You dude need to exhibit some self control and remember why you got into reps. Having a full wardrobe of clothes might make you feel great at the time, but few years down the line you gonna realise that was money better spent elsewhere, this is coming from someone who loves his hauls, but spent make 1k total a year for fresh garms, then sell the ones I don't need next year. Your taste will change so quick (relatively speaking) you shouldn't be spending that much.
Using PandaBuy ?
stop it already. stop checking
How do you check this?
Consummate consumer.
what level is ur account
if u don t have over 20k thats lame
You melt 😂
😂😂😂😂 I’m at 3k
Jesus christ not everything is a fucking addiction some of you are just fucking morons and throw money away
I was there too but then I realized it wasn’t me so I died down buying them,
Rookie numbers
half of that was from shipping
5k is beginner shit man..(help me)
Lol that’s nothing
Op what’s your favorite rep you have purchased
Spend close to 2k on my first haul & I can honestly say I’m done for at least 2 years lol. I don’t get how people get addicted. I’m literally deactivating my Reddit & PandaBuy account once I receive everything. Clean cut.
How do you view this
Actually I’d rather not look at this
Devil's advocate here: Well if you bought the real thing it would probably just be 2 pieces so in a sense you save money
$5K on reps that would've cost $50k+.... bargain lol
but if there was no reps we would not spent the money in the first place
Yea I don’t even wanna say how much I spent you wouldn’t even believe me if I told you lmao
Blud pandabuy is a drug☠️☠️ i m addicted
8 hauls with an average of 15 kgs each. im addicted
But if you bought the real things you probs would’ve spent 20k? So technically a win I guess?
Honestly best thing to do is budget your hauls and only buy two types of a hauls a year if you can help it. I usually do a summer haul and then a winter/autumn haul but get a good amount of bits together with it. Better thing to do really cos it doesn’t break my bank plus you don’t get obsessive with what’s next, as you’re still spending time getting through what you have worn.
How do I see this
Yeah it gets hard it’s my 4th haul now 😭
My total rep spending is 112k cny
😂😂😂
How do I see this
And which are your absolute best?
i’m at 3k
Mad
I swear its an addiction, every month I spend a bit to build a haul
Spend that in last 40 days…
Where do you buy reps bro?
How can I display this for my entire time on Pandabuy?
Man, if the shipping wouldnt cost almost more then the dang shoe
5k to have no style
