Wet Seal

Gone are the days where we could buy $1 panties and tops that are basically disposable. I looked it up the other day, and saw that people are actually selling "vintage" Wet Seal tops and dresses for HUNDREDS of dollars. HUNDREDS.... I could have bought half of that store with $300 back in the day...I need to sit down, my head is spinning.

Take a look at this one I found. It's listed at $75, and has 96 people watching the listing.
