How Much are YOU Willing to Pay??

How much ought your Panties, Undies, and other Lingerie, to cost?

There are some very posh physical retail and online outfits, such as Nancy Meyer and Neiman Marcus, that can and will charge around $300.00 for assorted single individual items, for guys, chicks, and omnisexuals. If you're wealthy, then it's no barrier at all; your undies are just a drop in the bucket, compared to how much you shell out for that Ferrari, Rolls Royce, yacht, G-5, and (all of) your home(s).

In my opinion, handmades, custom-crafteds, ought to cost a little more, as you're paying for what could be, a piece of art. Following this logic to its final conclusion, perhaps then, there ought to exist some Commodities Speculation for select batches of Lingerie/Undies, where long-term Investment Capital can be generated, just like with Corn Crops, Hog Bellies, Gold, Iron, Diamonds, stuff like that. I wonder, then, if outfits like Sotheby's, have ever auctioned off chi-chi undies, and not necessarily already-worns, from celebrities (though those worn by, say, Justin Bieber or Madonna, could fetch stratospheric prices)?

Then, on eBay, I've ocassionaly seen single, individual pairs of Van Raalte Sheerios and-or Vanity Fair Diaphaniques actually go for NORTH of ONE GRAND: I kid you not. I don't have that kind of money. But, since on its Item Descriptions Pages, you're able to see the events in real time, it's interesting to track how the story unfolds. Sometimes, from a modest start of $9.99, slowly stretched over the span of 7 Days, with only 10 Bids, it will jump up to that $1,000.00+. Then, at other times, I'll check in for the last 5 Minutes, as all-out combat (Or should I say, cumbat?!) bidding wars take place, where 30+ bids jack it up by that much.

If someone pays beaucoup bux for their lingerie and hosiery in these instances, might they actually wear the stuff, or would they only prepare them for display, as if they are going to exhibit them in a museum, or like a butterfly/stamp/coin collection?

I would like your ideas, stories, and observations, folks. For my part, I find this a very interesting subject to ponder.

I know one thing, I can't afford high priced panties. I look for panties in packs of three or more. It's hard to say though, girdles are usually high priced. For me to pay let's say fifteen dollars for a single pantie, it would have to have a super feel to it and have a long life. Perhaps Donna might have a pantie auction for some of her creations. biggrin

I don't know if you want quality you have to expect to pay a little more. My last purchase was from the Bay and I paided approx 16.00 each for Jockey nylon briefs (very comfortable by the way). Previuosly I found them on sale for 10..00 each

Since I sew all my panties, I can two Yards of fabric for around $15.00 and make many panties of different styles.

 Howdy, "Case"; a really nifty thing about Jockey Men's Briefs (I guess we are talking about those?), is that they're usually made, so that the Vertical Knit-Grain Furrowed surface, what you'd normally see on the "outside" surface of most Tricot garments, forms the "inside" surface of these Men's Nylon Jockey Briefs. That surface is far softer, and, obviously, is far more fun. And Winkie loves that a lot!! This is a medium-fine denier. Girl friends and wives may often raid their man's undies drawers for these!! Let 'em; we gotta spread the fun around!!

About 20 or more years ago, Jockey did make Nylon Tricot pantieware for the lasses out there, but maybe 15 or so years ago, they discontinued those and started making Tencel Nylon Microfibre Lycra-Spandex pantieware. Those are nice, but there's something grand about Tricot that can't readily be explained, and, those older ones were quite comparable to Shadowline, or much of Vanity Fair's Tricotwares, quite a bit finer-deniered than today's guys' Tricotwares. They did make some nicely tailored chicks' Full Briefs. Alas, they seem to have disappeared from the face of the Earth. Oh, well.

 And usually, Fabric Yardage is more than a Yard wide, per Yard; so that if you visualize, then nest your patterns, as close as possible, just one Yard could yield you up to 3 Pairs of panties, possibly more.

 Howdy, Case; I'm honored that you may think of me as a "guru", but those are titles bestowed upon those of us here at this Forum, who have exceeded 500 Posts, such as PussPuss and myself. If you check above my avatar, you will see that my PFM Handle/Moniker is "Breeziestroke".

Ennywhoo, back to Jockeys. What was the Collection name of the Jockey Panties, that you'd bought? If I were to buy some "female-designated" panties, presently, I would go for the Fullest-Briefed Styles in the Comfies, Elances, Elance Supersofts, or the Tencel No-Panty-Line-Promises Collections.

Might you have had a chance to see some Jockey Smoothies Shorts on display? If so, do they have, what I consider to be, "annoying" Rear Panel seamage?

For quite a number of years, Jockey made some delightful Nylon/Cotton Blendeds, simply called "Silks". They quit making them, about 2 years ago; boo-hoocry.gifcry.gifcry.gif!! I'd already mentioned the true Tricots that Jockey made, about Twenty years ago.

Perhaps you, Case, are bothered by the Fly Apparatus that the Guys' Nylon Tricot Full Briefs have. I just simply detatch the rear panels from two pair, identically sized, and cobble/sew those two together--and--voila, INSTANT PANTIES!! Sadly, it appears that Jockey's now phasing out Mens' Tricotware as well, toocry.gifcry.gifcry.gif. Oh, well.

Case, if you are interested in Online Shopping, then Jockey operates an eBay Outlet Store, at: http://stores.ebay.com/Jockey-Direct-Closeouts , and-or, http://www.ebay.com/sch/jockeystore/m.html?_trkparms=65%253A10%257C66%253A2%257C39%253A6&rt=nc&_dmd=2&_ipg=192&_sc=1&_sop=10&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14.l1514&_vc=1 .  You can get your Jockey pantiewares there, for astronomically low prices, on a "Buy-It-Now" basis. Many of those may be Close-Outs, Phase-Outs, however.

How much am I willing to pay?  It all depends on how much disposable cash I have on hand at the time a craving hits.  I'm addicted to panties and panty shopping, so I guess it's like an alcoholic in a way.  That is to say if a craving hits just after payday, then it's Jack Daniels but if a craving hits just before payday then it's whatever is the cheapest booze.

Translating that metaphor into panty language, if I'm well-heeled I'll go to Macy's and blow some serious bucks on Flora Nikrooz or similar.  If I'm strapped for cash, I'll hit the thrift or consignment stores.  However if I buy there, I'll only get new panties, that is ones with the original store tags still on them.  Thrift stores can be kind of hit-and-miss though.  On a "good day" I've been able to find brand new Vanity Fair Ravissant or Lace Noveau in my size 7 for $1.49 a pair.

I used to spend quite a bit on panties. Over the years, I find that I am spending less, buying more "everyday" style panties. There are really some great lower priced panties now days, that last a long time. I still splurge every now and then but far less than before. There are also some good deals and sales out there, I will usually wait for a good sale to buy the more expensive brands.

My limit is about $15 a pair for something name-brand like Vanity Fair. I've always wanted to try Katie and Laura's Fancy Satin Panties, but I always have had a hard time justifying the price at $32 a pair.
