Feel free to post any question you have here, whether you asked elsewhere or not. Many of the people on this board are either not ebay sellers (they could have websites, live stores, are collectors but don't selll), so do not frequent the VCA board, or they aren't over there very often. And if your question dropped to the second page, you might have inadvertently been overlooked
I think in the early days. there weren't as many boards around, so you were pretty much just asking the same people twice, and maybe that;s why people got annoyed in the old days. who knows.
we have a real strong community here and are not afraid to disagree with eachother about dates/aspects of a garment because we are all here to learn (and also admire). so you will get plenty of ooohing and ahhhing over clothes that are posted, but we really want to find out whatever we can for people, because it just adds to everyone's knowledge too. ..as who knows when someone else will come acrossed something similar...
i know a lot of times i am "weren't we just talking about this label...."
so, post away...
