SOMETHING I LEARNED ABOUT JEANS AT THE BUNDLE SHOP

This pair of RM500 jeans was on sale at a Bundle shop.  These shops are called Bundle shops because the used or new clothes which are sold  there are gotten in the form of bundle stock .This is because used clothings in Malaysia are mainly imported from abroad and in order to ship the maximum possible, the clothings are compressed and bundled. During transaction, they trade by the bundle. Then the Bundle shops will sell them separately.

Now back to the RM500 pair of jeans.  Why is it priced so high for a used pair of jeans?  According to the shop owner, a new pair of this jeans costs RM2,500.

In the picture above, the pair of jeans that the shop assistant is pointing to is no longer in production and so it is considered a collector's item.  It was priced at RM550.
