H&M for Versace launch causes a stampede
The debut of Versace H&M in stores worldwide on 19 November, 2011, saw shelves cleared in 30 minutes, fights breaking out, and some were even sent to hospital, trying to buy discounted designer fashion.
The people who were able to purchase the leather garments and studded frocks are now selling the items on eBay for greatly increased prices. The most expensive of these is the Men’s Leather Biker Jacket, in a large. This item is currently going for $1,200 on the auction site, plus $15 shipping fee. The jacket was selling in H&M for $299.
A Gold Studded Leather Dress is on eBay for as much as $899.99 plus $12 shipping. This frock was sold for $299 in stores.
Yesterday at the H&M flagship store in New York City, a shopper was already trying to peddle his or her goods while still inside the store, according to the International Business Times. At 9:04am someone who had already purchased a bomber jacket was trying to resell it for $250.
