Fashion diehards were in their glory over the weekend when some lucky few were able to score Lilly Pulitzer designs at steep discounts with the launch of her new collaboration with Target.

The Five Best Reactions To Lilly Pulitzer Selling Out At Target

The designer, whose collections are based on Palm Beach Florida designs and normally retail with a steeper price tag (dresses are often hundreds of dollars each), had a highly-anticipated launch on April 19 at Target stores across the U.S.--and within minutes, the entire collection was sold out online and mostly sold-out in all stores as well--making those who didn't manage to get a hold of highly coveted items seriously upset.

Adding to the fury those who didn't get their hands on the limited-edition merchandise (Target has confirmed they won't be restocking), many who did get to buy significant amounts from the collection quickly began re-selling pieces on Ebay for a hefty markup.

Of course, this isn't the only designer collaboration that has found quick success at the retailer--or found itself resold for higher price points online later on. Here are five of Target's best performing designer collaborations & their current price points on Ebay:

1. Lilly Pulitzer For Target

The 2015 collection is one of the retail chain's fastest-performing, with reports that stores had sold out within five minutes of opening their doors. The original collection ranged from $2.00 per item (for nail files) to the most expensive at $150.00 (for an outdoor hammock). Now, apparel which averaged around $35 a piece in stores and online is re-selling on Ebay for anywhere between $60.00 to well over $100.

2. Missoni for Target

In 2011, Target's collaboration with the designer (which launched in Australia in October 2014) caused so much hype that it crashed the company's website. With clothing that was reasonably priced with pieces around $40.00, product sold fast. These days some items are still available on Ebay, with many priced even lower in the four years since the launch, though some items are still going on the site for $70 -$100+.

3. 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target

This 2013 collab which featured highly coveted bags for no higher than $54.99, still has a few selling elsewhere online for much higher.

4. Prabal Gurung for Target

Those hoping to make some serious money off of this collection from 2013 won't necessarily make huge profits as much these days, though one specific floral-print dress which sold at Target for $49.99 is still listed on Ebay for $106.00.

5. Peter Pilotto for Target

This record-breaking collection from 2014 retailed several fashionable pieces for under $60 a piece. These days, those hoping to score a deal on the collection may find one on Ebay after all.
