My shoulders hurt from wearing four bras out of the store 😫

•Víctöria’s Sècrêt• Black zip bra- $35 Victoria Sport bra- $20 Black underwear- $10.50

•PÍÑK• Gray sports bra- $24.50 Pink sports bra- $24.50 Underwear x4- $42

Big Ass Haul

My biggest haul yet, you guys better give me some notes.

okay, not saying these tips are foolproof but i really think that they are what has helped keep me from being caught even though i’ve been lifting on and off for quite a while. they’re nothing new but IMO these are the most useful things to keep in mind, especially if you’re wanting to start doing it more seriously for boosting, holiday season, etc. 

disguises are your best friend. once you’ve perfected your disguises, there are so many more opportunities such as 

visit multiple times close together 

scope out the store on multiple days to see what the vibe is like when it’s busy/slow, check for cams, etc without them recognizing you! 

shake off LP if you think you’ve been sussed 

i know there are several posts going around with disguise tips so i won’t bother typing mine out but lmk if you want advice on this

don’t wear perfume/cologne; it can draw more suspicion. LP is looking for you; they walk by you in disguise but recognize your perfume, do a double-take and realize you’re wearing a wig, took off your glasses, etc. 

lifting with others can be a double-edged sword. i prefer to go solo, or have one consistent partner, because….

LIFTING IN A GROUP IS EXTREMELY RISKY! if you’re all caught, the charges can be much more serious since they may frame it as a “crime ring”, but if you do decide you want to do it: 

pretend not to know each other until you are safely away from the store. don’t come in the same cars, don’t park near each other, don’t all go to each store all at once. 

don’t even ride the same public transport together since most buses/trains have cameras (at least where i live) and if they suspect you at all, the police can pull the bus footage easily. 

a couple people can act as decoys by being extremely sus (staring directly into camera, shifty glances, double-hanging items, etc) while the most skilled lifter of the group is the one actually doing the work.

ALSO, lifting with someone who you’ve never lifted with before can be a disaster. obviously every pair has to pull off their first lift, but it’s so important to practice your concealing techniques with your partner firsthand so that you know what works for both of your skills. my best friend also lifts but we just don’t work well with each other and the risk isn’t worth it when we’re both proficient lifters on our own.

i avoid using tools that aren’t everyday objects. 

i’ve never used magnets bc of magnet detectors, potentially sticking to clothing racks, and severely increased consequences if i were to be caught. 

i use a hook occasionally because it’s easy to conceal on-body, but if possible i just leave it in the car. 

try to get comfortable in crowds. if you’re lifting in a crowded store there is  a higher ratio of shoppers to LP = more people that 1-2 LP are having to try to watch at any given time. i know for some people anxiety or other issues mean that this isn’t possible, but if you think you can overcome it, crowds can be another great tool. 

that being said, other shoppers will fucking snitch on you in a heartbeat, so you need to stay on your toes. 

shoppers are not there to look at other shoppers; they’re there to look at the products. 

don’t smile at other shoppers, don’t pick up the same item as them at the same time, don’t use crouching methods when they’re nearby since you can’t tell if they’re looking over your shoulder without seeming sus. 

if another shopper accuses you of stealing or you think you’ve been sussed by them, GET THE FUCK OUT. it’s just as serious as if LP has sussed you.

some stores will take the side of the customer over the SA since the SA is a representative of the company and they want to cover their ass, but if another customer goes to the counter and says, “that woman there is shoplifting” they’re more likely to follow through, start trailing you, etc. just leave. 

even if you don’t want to risk lifting in a crowd, spend time people watching when you’re not lifting. this can help you gain a sense overall of when people are looking at you or how to predict their next movements etc. this is something that i do as part of my regular job so i think that experience has really helped me. 

if you have to ditch, ditch off camera. even if they can’t stop you after you’ve ditched, they can look out for you when you come back and they may catch you on your next trip.

😈 So I did my first mall haul with two of my non lifter friends and neither of them had any idea.

😬 Idk about anyone else but it kinda calms me down to lift with other people who don’t lift because I make sure to be extra extra careful.

This works for any online sales platform such as eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, Vinted, etc!

Strategy One — Start high, go low!

With this strategy you’ll need a popular item such as a VS Pink Sherpa quarter zip that’s in great used condition or like new. With this item you’ve probably bought it for about $80, used it, the color sold out, and now you’re going to price it at $20-$30 more than you want and you’re going to say “Feel free to make a reasonable offer”. So say you want $70 for this sherpa — price it at $95.

With this exact strategy, people will really want this item, and you’ll likely get around 20-80 likes for it. When people see all of these likes, they’re going to get nervous that someone is going to buy it at its actual price as it’s clearly in high demand and the quantity of these items are already limited, so they’re going to make a very serious and reasonable offer. Say they offer $80, $15 less than your asking price, when you really wanted $70— that’s an extra $10 you’ve earned just through strategy! Accept their offer if it’s the highest one, and you’ll end up with a very happy customer and they’ll likely rate you well for such a “great deal”. But keep in mind that this strategy only works with popular, rare, or limited quantity items that are in great to like new condition; you can’t do this with Hollister jeans or generic makeup items.

Strategy Two— Start low, go high!

My favorite thing to do with an item I️ am taking a chance on popularity is to price it $5 lower than I️ really want for it. So say I️ want $20 for a rare vintage Nike sweatshirt but it looks pretty generic. I’m going to need something extra to grab attention for this item since it seems so “boring” as a solid blue sweatshirt. What I’ll do is price it at $15— keep in mind that you must be willing to take a risk for this. If someone buys it fast, you’ve lost your profit. You can always cancel, but I️ find that to be rude as a buyer if you do have the item. But in most cases I’ve started it at $15— people will likely lowball you and offer $10 or whatever, ignore them. When you get 3 likes, raise it to $20, your wanted price. Now you’ve got attention for the item, so if you get $20, you’ll be happy— but people are going to keep liking your item because it’s going to raise in trend and popularity on the site. Now raise it to $25, then $30— and if people still don’t buy it, raise it to $40, etc— THEN you’re going to implement the “start high, go low” method. Say “make me a reasonable offer”— and with time, they’ll offer maybe $35 because it’s a popular and rare item now and you’ll get $15 more than you started with.

These are just my two favorites to use and they’ve earned me a lot of extra money! ✨
