It seems a shame to have to discuss this, but I am curious....
I read today that Versace for H&M is retailing for four times the shop floor price on ebay at the moment. This is why shops have such strict policies with how many people they let into stores for collections like this but try as they might, it just doesn't work.
Apparently the US is worse as they didn't receive the last collection, it was sold online and H&M do not have an online US store.
Still dresses and shoes are most in demand with some selling for £300.
I think this ruins the fun of collections like this. It cheapens the brand and makes it less lust inducing. I wasn't bothered by the second H&M collection at all but it seems really unfair that there are people out there who are deliberately buying to make a fast buck.
There is nothing that stores can do though as there are genuine people out there just trying to sell unwanted clothing. They have in recent times taken to desperate measures to stop the sell of their clothing and the tarnishing of the brand image online by destroying old stock and destroying staff uniforms rather then letting staff keep it. Which seems a little unfair and completely wasteful. I plan on writing about this later on in the week as Wednesdays are normally the day I handle the opinion section of the site!
