It sells name brand clothing and accessories, and furniture...I dont mean no Tommy Hilfiger sh*t either!!! I am talking Juicy, Roca Wear, Guess, Lucky, Liz Claiborne, Michael Kors, BCBG, Fendi, Prada, you name it they have it practically. These items are going for $90 or LESS. Is it legal for them to sell damaged goods (tiny tears or stains) like this? I didnt think that you could re-sell a damaged product from such high end stores...dont they dispose of this stuff so people, like these that i have found, cannot profit off of thier cast offs????

i live in Texas...the reason I was so suprised is some of this stuff is from BIG stores that are hundreds of miles away from here...so why would they be selling them way way far away from the original stores? people buying this stuff have never heard of Prada before...this is not a wealthy community it is located in.....we are across town

Yes, its perfectly legal, many companys sell there products to stores like this, out of season, damaged, things that aren't cut correctly, etc.

I guess another man's trash is another man's treasure....I often wonder if all those clothing collection boxes that say they are using the profits for the poor are doing just that....I wonder if they don't sell those items to thrift stores???
There is a thrift store in St. Louis that sells used clothing and the prices on the crap is expensive....I bet they get most of the clothing donated for free!

Actually, I believe the high end designers first send their lightly damaged goods to their own outlet stores. if something is too damaged for them to want it in their own outlets, I believe they sell the clothes in bulk to other distributers like the one you're seeing. Be careful though, some of the stores aren't actually selling damaged designer goods. They're selling knock-offs and that is illegal unless they state someplace that these are knock-offs. And they are not allowed to use real logos on knock-offs.

i dont think its illegal. i had a store like that near me and i would get great stuff. when people pay full price for an item they will return it for the most stupid reasons(which i dont blame them) but sometimes its not enough to call the item junk. anyone opening a buisness has to apply for licenses so im sure they are legit. hey be happy u can get great stuff!

No, its not illegal. The buyer is fully aware why these items are discounted, right? What is illegal to sell is out of code foods, but not damaged clothing or furniture.

many companys sell there rejected stock or those that didnt meet quality standards, they sell them as second's these are sold of to an outside source so as not to damage the reputation of the quality of there products and recover production costs.

It sounds like the same principle as a consignment shop. Just more expensive. I'd shop there for sure.
