    Liquidation

    Hey Thinkderm, I'd rather not get specific with where I live at this point. Not to say I'd think anyone here would steal the idea, as it's not original, but I'm note ready to say right now. It is a growing city and there has not ever been a shop of this nature opened up here before. You're...

    Liquidation

    Sorry for the delay, here are my responses to the latest round. Viator: The store will not carry the same product lines as TJMaxx, Marshall's, Ross for Less, etc. I have seen a shop like the one I am considering as B&M that is very successful. So successful in fact, that they have more than one...

    Liquidation

    That was my feeling as well about the site. I wonder about the authenticity of the products being offered being that we don't know the source of the goods. Anyone speak to that?

    Liquidation

    This post is ironic in that I was interupted @ 2am to go and inspect why the alarm was going off at the restaurant! Shiftless: I'm not saying that consignment wouldn't work in general because I know of plenty of successful shops (some of which are here in my city), rather that it is not...

    Liquidation

    Count, I will def take a look at the book you suggested. I wonder though, if I source the clothes you are talking about, how does that make me any different than the shops already providing this service? I'm not trying to be argumentative by any means, just asking my questions based off of...

    Liquidation

    Rebel, That is what I was thinking as well. Inventory is the crux of the whole thing isn't it? I'm not saying I'm re-inventing the wheel here, just that I see a "hole" in the market in which I live. Of course, it can be argued that there is a reason for this (ie no need) or that no one has...

    Liquidation

    Consignment is an interesting idea, but I'd prefer to only sell new products. Also, there are too many consignment stores as it is. Also, there aren't many men's pieces that make through the wear and tear to be offered on consignment. Obviously, the target audience will be on women's clothes...

    Liquidation

    Zon, Where to begin? First, I don't want to open another restaurant. I don't enjoy it anymore. Why be miserable in doing something everyday that you don't enjoy. You can't sell jewelry in a restaurant anymore than you can sell clothes in a grocery store. I have run a high end restaurant for...

    Liquidation

    Thanks for the initial reposnses. This isn't for a project, this is something I truly want to do. I have seen a few stores in cities besides the one I live which do this and I always have a blast going to them. I think they buy liquidated lots by the pallet and re-sell them. The catch, which...

    Liquidation

    Greetings all, I have been writing a business plan for a brick and mortar store that includes the sale of high end fashion at liquidation prices. I have searched the internet and tried to make inroads as to how the process of purchasing, networking etc works. Anyone on the board that has any...

    Schools of Design and Fashion

    Morning all, Was poking around the 'net today and was looking at Fashion and Design schools. It reminded me of days gone by and looking for the "right" university to attend, how do you pick? Figured there had to be a good size group here that have attended a school such as these. I would love...

    Savannah

    Yea I figured it wasn't a place to come away with tons of stuff. But I figured I'd ask. I live in Charlotte, NC so I'm not coming from a place known to be fashion central anyway. That being saidin every city thereare usually one or two places at least worth popping in to look.

    Savannah

    I was looking back from threads about Savannah from a few years ago and wanted to "re-open" the discussion. Will be going to visit in a few weeks and wanted to know if there were any decent shops to visit. Any help would be appreciated. I like shopping in quirky stores more so than stuffy...

    Curious RLPL/RLBL Question:

    I've purchased from Gilt once and it was seemless. I figure that they only get one or two of some of them items, hence them being gone super fast. I always get their e-mail reminders about 10 min before and go ahead and log in so no worries there. My main gripe, as noted by others, is the 2 min...

    The Definitive Guide to Slim Fit Shirts

    I tried to look through alot of the pages before I posted on this thread. I have recently gotten a few slim fit shirts from Hyden Yoo, and have been really impressed. Darts on the back, trim it down a little and give it a wonderful shape. For a tall thin guy like me (6'4, 15.5/35) it fits the...
