The Scoop on the Mike and Chris Liquidation Sale

Often when I am researching sales, I post after I have talked to someone who can give me the details of the sale. I am especially cautious if I hear about a sale from an obscure/ unknown source.

The Mike & Chris liquidation Sale has been going on at various levels & locations for several months now. This bank ordered liquidation has been averaging savings of 50%-70% for several months. A good sale with good quality at a great price.

So when I heard of a 90% liquidation Mike & Chris sale I contacted the liquidator who claimed that they were near the end of the liquidation and that everything was now 90% off or more….

This particular contact was with a PR company who was handling part of the liquidation. After talking to him, everything looked like it fit into place. But it didn’t. The $1000 leather jackets they claimed were $100 were actually $270… a substantial difference.

What had happened was an over exuberant PR guy told me something that was a stretch of the truth… a lie in order to hype up the sale. It’s the old …”Up to syndrome”. The problem with “up to” is that only one item has to be at that level of discount for them to make that claim. I had been told, in writing that the sale was 90% off or more. And it was not.

I received several complaints about the sale and pulled it from the Hot Sales page.  I feel you deserve the truth and I do my best to give you the most accurate information about a sale when I post.

However the LA sale is still happening at the Circle outlet store in Silver Lake this Saturday 3/28. Discounts will mostly be in the 60%-75% off range with one or two products at 90% off. Obviously the best items are now gone, but there should be a few stellar pieces left.
