How to tell which blazers are high quality on Ebay?

I’m somewhat familiar with a lot of the good brands (like Oxxford, Brioni, Zegna, Isaia, Brooks Brothers, etc). Problem is a lot of these brands have their lower quality outlet lines. It’s a bit overwhelming looking through Ebay with all of these available brands, trying to figure out what line the piece is just based on the shape of it when not enough information is included. Any tips for spotting the good stuff on Ebay and efficiently filtering out the low quality stuff?

a lot of the diffusion line stuff you just need to learn brand-to-brand there's no real trick to it

What type of deals do you guys tend to get on ebay? I’ve seen some guides say to filter below $30

usually I aim for sport coats in the ~$50 range, OCBDs in the ~$20 range, trousers in the ~$35 range, it really depends on what you're looking for and what is your willingness to pay like if the perfect sport coat for me came by I probably wouldn't hesitate spending up to 200 on it but generally I'm picky and patient and don't mind waiting a long time and watching my saved searches for a good deal to come by

what will be most useful probably is posting actual listings and getting opinions from people

it also helps to watch the item, sometimes sellers instinctively send a deal over to encourage a quick sale

what do you recommend using for search terms for ocbd’s?

here's my search as you can see it's filtered for size 16 and then I manually put 35 into the search terms to get 35 sleeve length

so change the size to whatever your neck size is then replace the 35 in the search query with whatever your sleeve size is

I don't know if it's been mentioned but fabric content can be a good giveaway of quality.
