"ARTs ( Clothing inclusive ) Can appreciate over time for different reasons, Let me inform you that I sold a Jacket today with an extra $200 “VALUE charge“ on it and guess why? Because I have worn this jacket before. Luckily for the brother, we wear the same size and he was so in love with the piece that he didn’t mind paying the extra as I told him that he valued the jacket because I already wore it which made him appreciate the piece."
