Ebay Fashion Vault

Oh Boy… Ebay has gotten into the online Sample Sale biz!
Ebay has enlisted some of their most trusted sellers and designers to work closely with eBay to bring you Fashion Vault sales events. For a limited time, 48 to 72 hours, exclusive online events will have selected designers on sale by brand authorized Ebay sellers who sell these higher end garment at substantial savings to Ebay members..

The current sale when I cruised the site was Hugo Boss with savings of 60% on tops, jeans, suits, blazers, belts, dress shirts and more. All NWT using Hugo Boss catalog pictures, but from only one seller. These designs come directly from sellers who are authorized by the brand to sell their merchandise. And to make these deals even better, shipping is free.

The discounts seem to be limited to “up to 60% off” and like all online Sample Sales, quantities are limited. But that’s a enough savings along with the Free shipping to more than capture my interest. Do sign up for notifications of the Vault Sales.

If you’re a fashion or Ebay junkie, now you have something new to quench your interest… Ebays Fashion Vault. OY!

GomattaGirls

At www.GomattaGirls.com they sell one or several items every days. Not hundreds of different items just a few,  usually rather special women’ s clothing item at a discount. It’ s like sample sale shopping…. One steal at a time.

You go by every day and they have one new product on their home page for you to peruse at a discounted price. They sometimes carry multiples of that one item but that’s it. It’ s easy to make a decision and fun.

GomattaGirls carries women’s fashion items. Dresses, tops, jackets, jewelry, accessories etc. The discounts are terrific. This week they had Samantha Jane earrings and matching necklace.Earrings are $19 instead of $75 and the necklace is $29 instead of $150. Great for yourself or a gift.

A couple of weeks ago they had Meg strapless floral dress for $36 instead of $170 and a few weeks before that a Jenny Han Chiffon drop waste dress for $37.50 that originally retailed at $225. Wished I had pounced on that one. A Wendy Katlen Cotton Strapless Dress was featured a couple weeks before that for $59 instead of the retail of $308. Most clothing items come in several sizes.

You should register if you want to be notified when something is posted. They also have a refer a friend program where any time you refer a friend, you are awarded 20% of the money they spend on their initial purchase as Store Credit. They don’t need to make a purchase immediately - as long as you’re the original referrer, they just have to make a purchase within 12 months for you to get your reward.

Finding just a few, rather cool items at a time,  that are really discounted somehow seem more special that sorting thru racks at a sample sale. Very cool!

You’re gonna love it.
