    Should I take advantage?

    So I got a job at Plato's Closet last week and it's been pretty cool. This past weekend I bought a few things and I got home and I'm thinking "Hmm I wonder if this stuff is real.." So I looked at a bunch of guides and it's pretty apparent I have some legit lacoste/polo stuff for $8-10 that looks in perfect condition. So I'm curious if y'all think this would be a good idea.

    I could buy an item or two a day of lacoste/ralph lauren/ (maybe) abercrombie and resell it on ebay for like 2xs what I paid. $10 polo I could sell for $20. $8 t shirt for $12-15 plus shipping. I'm pretty sure this isn't against the store rules, especially since I don't have a discount atm anyways.

    What do y'all think? Good idea or not?

    Edit: If I added ~$5 from what I paid and got 1-3 items a day that'd be like $50 a week since I work most days of the week.

    OR

    Do you think I can include like 5 pictures of everything proving it's real and sell an excellent condition shirt with proof it's real for like $25. I know from experience buying real clothes from ebay is not easy. I bought an abercrombie shirt for $50 rather than others for $30 and less because it showed proof it was REAL. And people wanting these brands want the real deal. Or is that just me?

    I dont wear that type of stuff because I understand the value of money and $50 for a shirt because its "cool", no thanks.

    Sounds like a good idea to me! I could use $50 bucks a week for supporting the place where I work.

    Then what is the value.

    Food that tastes "good"? Cars that are "cool"? Entertainment that is "fun"? I mean really, think about the things you buy. Do you NEED all of it? No.

    If you want it even cheaper, you might be able to find out where the store buys it in bulk, and contact them directly. ^^

    They don't buy it in bulk. We buy it from people ^^. Still unsure though because I don't wanna get in trouble for this. I mean I could just buy things w/o my employee discount since its not for me right?

    Dont, thats a shitty idea. Don't ask how, but they will find out and you will be fired. trust me, don't do it. Its easier to make money the easier way.

    You don't think suspicion will occur when you are buying all of those clothes?

    Thanks to both of yall for bringing this part up and this is where I'm confused. Is it wrong to buy clothes somewhere and resell them just because I work there? Thinking now If I didn't work there I honestly might consider walking in, buying all the real name brands, and walking out and reselling. $$$$
