Those Black Friday Fashion "Deals"

BY C STONE | THE SUPER HOT ||| FASHION NEWS

Black Friday is almost here. People around the world are refreshing their browsers like stock tips; but the sad reality couldn't be further from the truth.

Indeed, you can buy some bargains on black Friday from luxury brands. But don't expect miraculous savings or incredible deals on new clothes.

Instead, you'll likely find old stock that hasn't moved. Retailers are counting on people jumping for their deals. Large discounts, maybe even cheap or free shipping will entice many.

But the real deals are scarce and often sold out long before you get a chance to fill your cart online.

Most professional buyers use applications to snatch items online. Remember the early days of eBay? Then a few years later, something awful happened. 

Web sites like bidsnipe became common, where people could use a 3rd party site to place bids milliseconds before the auction closes. It's kind of like that. But instead of someone buying 1 item a few seconds when a restock occurs, they buy them all.

Again and again.

You seriously need good luck or someone at that company to get decent deals. And believe me, even the employees of those luxury companies want nothing to do with the brands they are selling. 

As someone who told me at work "Working for company YY1 was the worst in my life.". YY1 is a well-known and established Italian brand. Apparently, this person was treated so horribly he even flinched when he said the brand name. "All they cared about was money. That's it."

And I believe him.

Nobody thinks about where these items are made, sourced, or designed. I saw a hilarious label on a coat: "Designed in Canada, made in China."

How's that for nationalism?

Good luck out there!
