Gilt Doing a Secret Sale Now???!!??

[jrd617]

This is unbelievable. Mostly sold out now. Did people really get RLBL, Cuccinelli, Belvest, Black Fleece, and Zegna blazers/suits for $88? Ralph Lauren wingtips for $44? A $2,500 Cuccinelli blanket for $188? http://www.gilt.com/sale/men/scary-deals-for/ss Bad karma from the Gilt haters and forum sponsor droppage? This is more epic than Daffy's Mabitex flood. I can't even imagine what B&S would look like right now if a member had gotten advance notice.

Perfect! I needed a reason not shell out for the Corneliani Blazer and this makes me just bitter enough

People complain why Gilt is still in existence?

Because of buyer of you. Holding out some hope to pick up some super once in a lifetime deal.

You should also play the lottery.

That's insane. Probably just odd sizes?

You should have stuck with the "all your base are belong to us"-ese, like so:

Speaking of which, why the

GILT pisses me off.

 

[svelten]

Wait... how the hell do they even make money on these? I know markups are huge but this is ridiculous.

probably just leftovers from previous sale sitting around or returns.

Could the reason for the leftover high end Italian stuff be that a lot of American shoppers on Gilt don't recognize brands like Barbera, Belvest etc.?

Then again, I'm sure that they recognize Ralph Lauren. I don't know how those RLBLs survived.

Saw the overcoat I bought for $650 a year ago on there for $188.

Wish I knew that was happening!

How can you be sure they were there to start with? I bet it was just a marketing thing. They probably started out as already SOLD OUT, cause who's gonna know? And then people like us are getting our panties in a bunch and are going to check GILT fanatically every morning for a month.

Good point. It's a conspiracy!
