at the volume not sure if it just ends up on Yoox

I would hope they would let customers dive in for a few days at least. Not like I really need anything at the moment but a deal is a deal.

 

[bamgrinus]

My understanding is that liquidations are usually handled by third parties that follow a pretty set pattern of discounts, and it's actually rare that you get much in the way of deals until they're pretty cleaned out.
