eBay Obsessed

A daily dose of the hottest buys on the web's biggest marketplace.

Reader's advice pays off big-time

I consider myself a fairly savvy, old-hand eBay shopper, so when I discover something I haven't seen before, well, I become beyond jazzed (did I just say jazzed? Apologies. Picture_13 My excitement has clearly overtaken my semantic taste). In any case, about a week ago, Sunflower Vintage left a comment on my Spanish Moss post suggesting I take a look at the eBay store Mama Stone. And so, today, I did. When I saw it, I had this thought: "Are these people for real? This stuff is AMAZING!" Honestly, I would buy almost everything in this vintage boutique at a real store, maybe even for full price. It has a lovely, earthy-cool aesthetic, and its stock is filled with soft leather jackets, flowy floral-print dresses, and neat shrunken blazers. I love this (virtual) place. You should check it out as soon as you can.

Mama Stone is the mother of ebay vintage. Her taste is flawless, her quality is WAY above par, and her store never disappoints. <3 <3 <3

shop mommastone and you too can buy thrift store duds at a 500% markup!
apparently all it takes is anorexic models and a little dough to look like a total fashion victim. puhleez.

Do they carry anything besides size small or extra small?

While it's true that the items are pretty much amazing 99% of the time it's also true that with this ebay store's growth in popularity their prices are now ridiculous 99% of the time. Good for Mama Stone, bad for us! :( I've been a big fan over the years but have had to move on to new stores since I can rarely justify paying that much for most (not all) vintage...She is an awesome seller though! Don't hate her for being beautiful!

i'm not sure if they are on ebay anymore, but you guys should check out their website:

great, reasonable and SET prices!! loves it!

Wow, for someone who considers hersef "eBay obsessed" I am quite surprised you are only just discovering Mamastone. Vintage-loving gals have known her for years.

Cute stuff indeed, however, when the auction prices triple those found in places like Screaming Mimi's, you gotta wonder if a bar of gold comes with every dress.

Oh, and by the by, you can get those "neat shrunken blazers" in the little boys section of any Salvation Army. They just look cooler on a full grown girl.
