    Glamour iLv.1 gear HQ ?

    Hi guys, maybe a silly question here but, Why do some people bother to HQ lv1 glamour gear? I've seen quite a lot lv 1 gear HQ priced like if it were a difference from the NQ ? It is usually twice the price compared to one of normal quality. Is it really worth buying a high quality summer/taffeta dress?

    When I first started making glamour gear with spring dress, I kinda wanted to HQ them just out of principle. I thought perhaps if people wanted to spend looooads of money on galmour then they may pay a bit extra for HQ. but it doesn't show to anyone else at all, so it's kinda pointless. That said, I do still HQ wherever possible, but I price it the same as NQ stuff when I sell it.

    Think of the unnecessary HQ as a brand name. It's the same product, with a HQ tag on it!

    Charge more for HQ glamour gear, because people will pay more for HQ glamour gear. There's little point in asking WHY someone would pay more; everyone who does has their reasons, even if it's some silly OCD thing, or maybe a matter of pride to the buyer ("I ONLY buy HQ gear, no matter what!").

    Just as with NQ, a savvy seller will put up a product for what they think it will sell for.

    There's absolutely no difference (nor reason to pay extra for HQ) for these items. I have almost every single crafted glamour, minus the brand new stuff, lvl 1 item (spring items, taffetta, sailor, steel) and there isn't any difference between the non-HQ and the HQ.

    I make them hq cause it's just a macro to 100% them, so why not? As far as price, sometimes it's me putting up an item and then after that someone puts their nq up for half price. Also the stupid people might still pay double thing.
