Price check on Panache Cari Molded T-shirt bra

 The first price is at a local boutique, $108cad. 



The second price is on Ebay, $34.60cad. 



So, the local boutique price is more than 3x. 

In other words, one could buy three Panache Cari Spacer bras through Ebay, vs. just one purchased in a boutique. 

Here is a link to an article I just read today from BrasIHate blog, Busting some Busty Myths. 

To quote BrasIHate re: "You must pay so much for your bras!"

This makes my head explode with frustration. I usually pay about $30 - $40 for a bra. When I wore a smaller cup sizes, I paid about...wait for it...$30 - $40 for a bra. Victoria's Secret bras (which larger-busted women usually avoid like the plague) cost about $40-$50 typically. Yes, if you buy a Freya or Panache or Curvy Kate bra at full price from certain American retailers, it may run you about $70. In a boutique, maybe up to $120 or even more. But that's generally the case for EVERY size. 

Brand new bras are widely available on eBay; all you have to do is search "bra" and your size and filter the results to the Worldwide. If you're not sure of your size, make sure that returns are accepted and all you're risking is about $10 - $15 in shipping costs -- still well below the markup you'll pay at a boutique.
