I have watched an item at a site I want.  It came in six colors.  Most of the colors went deeply into a sale price, but not the color I wanted!  (White).

The item came in at the same time, they just hold some colors out!  That isn't done in any B & M stores!

 

Really, colors on sale at different price points?  WHO does that?  I worked in retail for six years, 2009-2016, so my knowledge is current!  (*Yes", I do check for coupons, not my point).


@ECBG

 

Call their Customer Service and ask if it was a mistake and can you have the color you want at the discounted price.   Maybe they'll give it to you.  

 

Of course, there's always the chance that they will drop the phone and burst out laughing, but you never know.  It never hurts to ask.

If you've worked retail, I'm surprised you haven't seen it done before.

 

Neutral colors are frequently full price while seasonal colors are deeply discounted.

 

It could be an item that will be brought back in fall colors as well as neutrals.

@muttmom---Thanks!  No, six years in retail after teaching and I never saw it!  I know they all came in together because they were all in their spring catalog!
