Retail Markup

[Velobambina]

Maybe they needed a quick inflow of cash? I find it interesting, despite the fact that the email Terry sent to limited customers apparently encouraged folks to "share the news," that they did not send a mass email to ALL their customers. If they wanted to reward their preferred customers, seems that it would have been better to give each of those folks a special coupon code or something that would work only w/the customer's name. Seems like their available stuff has really been picked over---all the good things sold out. Not sure if inventory clearing to make way for new stuff was the real reason, since we are in the midst of the holiday season and the next "new" stuff would seem to be spring gear? Maybe it was an anticipation of a slow holiday shopping season, since that's forecasted?

If there's something I really want, I am willing to pay full price, too. Unfortunately, I've waited for sales in the past, only to discover that my size has been sold out either before the item went on sale or before I could get my order in at sale price.

I have to admit to being disappointed because I intended to put the snow leopard print cashmore top on my list for Santa. It's now sold out in my size. So is the Exte Ondo jersey I've been eyeing, but I have a couple places where Santa can still get it at full price.
