If you’ve ever browsed through listings on Grailed you know that people like to charge outrageous prices for designer and hype items. You may have also noticed a particular seller who prices pretty standard vintage for extremely high prices and watermarks his photos with his signature green, 4G logo. The seller, @4Gseller, has grown to be somewhat of a meme within the Grailed community, but what’s really crazy is that even with his extreme prices, his pieces seem to be selling.

So how extreme are his prices for vintage? Well here’s some examples:

These are just a small, small example of what he has listed on his page. He has hundreds of other vintage listings and everything is priced seemingly 10x what it would be worth normally. Now, this article is not meant to be a hate post, but to be an insight on how far “curated” vintage has come. 4G has over 2600 transactions on Grailed, and although not all of them are $3,000 vintage tees, it shows that he is one of the top sellers on the platform. His items and posts constantly hit the explore page, and he has a dedicated following.

We know that having a social media following and an online presence can lead to a seller getting a higher price for their items. However, this is probably the most extreme example we’ve ever seen of this, and we’re honestly just shocked. By having such a “curated” selection of vintage and designer, and being located in SOHO, NY, 4G probably has a large rolodex of wealthy clients that shop with him. Many people who shop with him might even think those prices aren’t that expensive!

The other big question we have for 4G is finding out how he sources his vintage. I wonder if he pays resell from other vintage sellers, or if he actually thrifts everything he sells. It could be a mixture of both.
