Final Sale?

[farfisa23]

I tend to change my mind and like to take things home and make sure I like it. 99.99% of the time, I won't buy something that is final sale.


I saw a great suit at Zegna today, but the final sale made me walk, I wasn't sure I loved it and 900 mistake is a 900 dollar mistake.

Anyone else final sale gun shy?

when i buy things i am not worried about their return policy, that sounds like what an impulse buyer should be worried about.

when i buy things i either really like it, or i don't. if i don't really like it, then i'll probably skip it.

usually depends on the item, but final sale usually doesn't make me hesitate.

A 900 dollar mistake can be flipped in BS to the happiness of others

I'm not just going to buy it because it's cheap. I'm even willing to pay full retail, provided it's exactly what I want..

For me, when I ever feel like this, I walk away.

When buying from a store I don't mind. But I'd hesitate buying an item I've never tried on from a web site.

a potentially 900 dollar mistake with a history of returning items

you made the right decision

Same here. I have made a mistake or two, but not often.

^I agree with JayJay and stickonatree! If I don't really want an item, I would not buy it, whether it's on sale or not. Once I make a purchase, it is a rare occurrence that an item is returned, unless it proves to be defective.

You make it sound like an illness...

I just make sure I try it on, and absolutely love it. If I have any doubts about it, and it's on final sale, I won't buy it.

I just bought a coat from Neiman Marcus and they stamped my receipt as Final Sale. I hesitated for awhile but decided I really wanted the coat so ultimately I wasn't bothered by the Final Sale. Also, AMEX has a return guarantee just in case =).

just bring it back without receipt and say you got it as a gift, youll get some store credit and buy something you do like

Also, you have to look for the upside. I bought a zegna DB suit at the barneys warehouse sale, loved it, but then came to grips that I am just barely hanging onto my size 38R shape and that this was probably not the best of investments... so I sold it to my buddy and made a profit. Always have to have a plan B if your doing final sale.
