I say, take the goods and run. These situations happen because retailers make too much to begin with and then mark up the prices too high to start.

I found one I wanted but not another. I went to pay for it and they quoted me regular price, at which I could have bought 4 at sale price. Same thing as your experience.&nbsp; I even offered the twofer price but I just wanted to take the one. They refused to sell me one pair.&nbsp; I didn't buy anything because I found their "policy" so obstinately irritating. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/explain-this-sale-logic#post-1192165 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 04:22:11 +0000 Jaime 1192165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kind of love that jacket!

Large would fit me and maybe it has a tiny sprinkling of magic dust on it and I would look just 1/10 as impossibly cool as you do!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/explain-this-sale-logic#post-1192070 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 02:38:24 +0000 Sarah A 1192070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Most unfortunately, I dont think the color would work for me. Style is awesome and fun to try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/explain-this-sale-logic#post-1192047 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 01:58:19 +0000 catgirl 1192047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If anyone is interested in the L, it is H&amp;M quality but soft and feels surprisingly nice and cozy on. The sleeves fold down too so you don't have to have the shearling show.&nbsp; There is no fastening or pockets - it's almost like a distressed shearling waterfall cardi.&nbsp; I would probably have paid a lot more for an item like this of better quality, but this is actually a good way for me to try this out, especially since this is not a color I normally wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/explain-this-sale-logic#post-1192045 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 01:54:16 +0000 Echo 1192045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perhaps they wanted to clear out stock, but it is just as likely that the person at the register couldn't figure out how to make the discount work without another SKU to enter.</p> <p>And this is kind of a different situation, but still crazy. I once made a purchase while near my mum's house (about an hour away). When I got home, I realized they had not charged me for a costly item. I called them and offered to give them the SKU and a credit card number so I could pay for it. They told me I had to come in. I explained that I lived too far away, and they REFUSED to take payment. Basically, their position was, "Show us or it didn't happen." So they<i> wouldn't let me</i> pay for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/explain-this-sale-logic#post-1192044 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 01:53:38 +0000 Sarah A 1192044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both the $5 jacket and vintage sweater look like awesome finds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/explain-this-sale-logic#post-1192041 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 01:46:19 +0000 rabbit 1192041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two for ones lead to some odd times at the cash register. &nbsp;I went to return an item that was part of a two clearance&nbsp;items on the rack one price thing. &nbsp;The refunded me the single sale price of the item and weren't interested in making a lower&nbsp;adjustment because of the 2 for 1 - I guess it was complicated to do. &nbsp;So basically the remaining item that&nbsp;I had at home....was free. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/explain-this-sale-logic#post-1192029 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 01:21:51 +0000 Sarah A 1192029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh!

In my haste I grabbed&nbsp;red (should have chosen blue, the red was too orangey warm toned). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/explain-this-sale-logic#post-1191996 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 00:59:46 +0000 deb 1191996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, picture please. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/explain-this-sale-logic#post-1191993 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 00:57:10 +0000 Ariadne 1191993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bizarre. &nbsp;But let's see the jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/explain-this-sale-logic#post-1191991 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 00:56:22 +0000 Sarah A 1191991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ummmm... crazy.

On the 2/$10 rack I found a really cute fake shearling drapey jacket. It was marked $19.99 from $72. I went to pay and the cashier said it was not supposed to be on that rack but she would honor the price - so if I got another item it would be $10 total. I didn't even want another item and offered to just pay $10 for the jacket, but she said I had to take another or pay $19.99. So I picked the remaining shearling jacket in L and paid $10 for both. </p> <p>So flummoxed! </p> <p>Pic 1: Unstyled $5 jacket - feedback welcome!</p> <p>Pic 2: WIW today.&nbsp; This vintage Givenchy cardi is a&nbsp; find from consignment - it is already proving to be a statement essential.&nbsp; It has cool ribbing on the shoulders, a funky pieced jagged hem, and can fasten asymmetrically in front for an Allsaints kind of look.&nbsp; </p>
