The Kardashians Are Selfish and Cheap. How Shocking





The Kardashians: Kim (left), Khloe (middle) and Kourtney (right) have enviable designer wardrobes, some of which is now for sale on eBay

Kim Kardashian and her sister Kourtney are selling their old designer wares on eBay.

Called Kardashians' Closet, the sale is filled with Kim and Kourtney's pricey castoffs from labels such as Christian Louboutin, Fendi, Burberry, Gucci and Alexander Wang.  
While many items are steadily climbing in price to reach thousand's of dollars, only ten per cent of the profits  will go to charity. Ten!?!?!?! Why not 100???? That's embarrassing considering their wealth.

Kim's proceeds will be donated to Life Change Community Church, while Kourtney's charity of choice is the Dream Foundation, which grants wishes for terminally ill adults.
It is unclear, however, where the rest of the proceeds will go.
The items are both new and used, and vary in size from U.S. 2 - 8, while the shoes range from 36.5 to 37.
Many of the pieces up for sale have been worn on television appearances and at press events by the sisters.
Kim's Dolce and Gabanna red silk gown, currently selling for $405, was worn by the reality TV star during an episode of The Rachel Zoe Project last year.

Surprisingly, hidden amongst the animal print slinky dresses and vertigo-inducing heels, there are some classic gems.
While they are slowly creeping up in price, most are still a fraction of the original retail cost. 
 
    A Victoria Beckham little black dress is selling for $575, a Chanel floor-length column dress currently sits at $459, and a pair of Azzedine Alaia ankle boots are $154.

    This isn't the first time the Kardashian sister's have sold their designer goods on eBay however. 
    The reality TV stars have been selling items from their personal collection for some years through the charity auction site on eBay.

     While they make a big play of her philanthropy under the banner 'Charity Auction Supporting the Dream Foundation', they have always donated just ten per cent to the cause.

    In contrast, Carey Mulligan's custom-made Prada dress she wore to the Met Ball is also still up for sale on eBayand 100per cent of the proceeds will go to Oxfam America. 
    The highest bid for Ms Mulligan's dress currently sits at $2,551, with only one day to go.

    The Kardashians' Closet auction runs until May 21 on eBay.
