nice...
anyone have experience buying TF private blend via carousell?
prices are too good to be true (50% off). sellers claimed it comes with batch code...whatever that means...
I sell TFPBs on Carousell because I know people who are able to source overstock from the official supplier, and yes, some of them I can price at 30-40% off RTP and still pull a profit for me. So it's not impossible.
HOWEVER, please do your homework. (As with anything on C2C sales channels where fakes abound.) The sheer number of people who come to message me asking whether my stocks have a batch code is laughable; don't they realise it means nothing? Just go to DHgate and look up how many fake perfume stock photos there have batch codes on them.
Lack of a batch code means fake, sure. Mismatching batch codes between box and bottle also means fake. But having a matching batch code doesn't really tell you it's genuine.
Also, overstocks are more likely to be the less popular scents and are only available at some times of year. Say someone has pre-order, all year round, 100 mL size only, uses the same stock photos as China sites... if alarm bells are not going off in your head at that point, you're better off sticking to buying retail.
