Hehe.</p> <p>I think I may be psychologically off as the prices ending in 99 always look pricier to me. A item that is $20 looks cheaper than one that's $19.99. Maybe it's all those nines. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seriously-french-connection#post-622532 Fri, 18 May 2012 00:07:20 +0000 crazyone 622532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, you're right that psychological pricing is a well-known tactic, but this goes beyond that--slashing the price by a cent so that you can make it a final sale item! And it's true for a good percentage of their sale items, so it's not a one-off mistake. There are plenty of tops, dresses, and jackets priced like this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seriously-french-connection#post-622524 Thu, 17 May 2012 23:59:03 +0000 Sveta 622524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is plain crazy! Apparently they have the worst marketing department in the retail industry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seriously-french-connection#post-622517 Thu, 17 May 2012 23:49:42 +0000 Anonymous 622517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope that's just a mistake. That's insane. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seriously-french-connection#post-622389 Thu, 17 May 2012 19:58:07 +0000 ironkurtin 622389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear French Connection Intern: You are fired. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seriously-french-connection#post-622388 Thu, 17 May 2012 19:56:26 +0000 Kristin L 622388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. That's a heck of sale. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seriously-french-connection#post-622384 Thu, 17 May 2012 19:48:33 +0000 Amy 622384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahaha...I'd definitely call to see if they'd do a price adjustment, just on the principal alone. If they felt harrassed over a penny...welll, serves 'em right </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seriously-french-connection#post-622320 Thu, 17 May 2012 18:31:29 +0000 rae 622320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You'd think they'd at least hide the original price... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seriously-french-connection#post-622293 Thu, 17 May 2012 18:01:23 +0000 Sylvie 622293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Entertained. Thanks for the laugh. ;)</p> <p>Agree this is insane. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seriously-french-connection#post-622208 Thu, 17 May 2012 16:22:35 +0000 rachylou 622208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, that's pretty funny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seriously-french-connection#post-622163 Thu, 17 May 2012 15:30:01 +0000 Diana 622163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! That's ridiculous. I wonder if it's just a way to justify making things final sale. Or, I have seen stores do this (although it's usually more than a 1 cent discount) so that the items qualify for the extra % of sale promotions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seriously-french-connection#post-621894 Thu, 17 May 2012 05:27:26 +0000 CocoLion 621894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL CrazyOne! I am going to hope it's a programming mistake. Otherwise they deserve to be outed as the sleaziest retailers of the year! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seriously-french-connection#post-621878 Thu, 17 May 2012 05:08:06 +0000 Kari 621878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, that's just silly! Not such a bargain deal, is it?</p> <p>(That reminds me of something my dad and I talked about a couple years ago: psychological pricing, or why we're much more likely to buy something that costs $19.99 than $20 even: <a href="http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-psychological-pricing.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.wisegeek.com/what-i.....ricing.htm</a> ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seriously-french-connection#post-621870 Thu, 17 May 2012 04:29:04 +0000 Mo 621870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I'd like to save one penny so that I have no chance of being able to return it. Sounds great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seriously-french-connection#post-621860 Thu, 17 May 2012 04:09:49 +0000 Anonymous 621860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How annoying! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seriously-french-connection#post-621859 Thu, 17 May 2012 04:09:36 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 621859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my. I wonder if they will give you a price adjustment if you JUST bought one of those tops?</p> <p>"Uh, yeah, hi. I just bought that top yesterday? GIVE ME BACK MY PENNY." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seriously-french-connection#post-621848 Thu, 17 May 2012 03:49:31 +0000 crazyone 621848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Memo to French Connection: reducing the price by ONE CENT does not make it a sale. And even worse, it certainly doesn't justify making an item "FINAL SALE".</p> <p><a href="http://usa.frenchconnection.com/category/Woman+Collections+Sale/Outlet.htm?f_category_code=WOMAN_COLLECTIONS_SALE_TOPS" rel="nofollow">http://usa.frenchconnection.co....._SALE_TOPS</a></p> <p><a href="http://usa.frenchconnection.com/category/Woman+Collections+Sale/Outlet.htm?f_category_code=WOMAN_COLLECTIONS_SALE_TOPS" rel="nofollow">http://usa.frenchconnection.co....._SALE_TOPS</a> </p>
