Shout out to 2zbeach . . .

Thanks for the intel on the Frazer outlet. I visiting the Prices Corner outlet this afternoon and snagged a Dawkins milky aquamarine bracelet. Wonderful workmanship, beautiful stones and lovely design. As always the jewelry counter staff was great.

They had several Ripka leather band watches, two bubble bracelet, one either MOP or white agate cuff, the heart safekeeper and a rose quartz bead bracelet. The bubble bracelet wasn't my style. The other cuff was too big . . . sigh

When you see a lot of the same Ripka item for resale on an auction site, it may indicate that the item was recently available at the outlet. Use this information to power your research and guide your bidding. Sign up for their email list. The manager specials may prove helpful.

I don't have a resale website. I just can't part with my babies. But I want to bid intelligiently on resale and information about what is happening at the outlets is helpful.

If you are every in the Delmarva area, it is possible to hit three maybe four outlets on the same day. Rehobeth, Prices Corner,Lancaster and Frazier can be done in one day if you start early, stay focused and have fun!!!

They have great deals on housewares, clothes, rugs and ladies it is handbag nirvana, particularly if you are into D&B or Makowsky. I snagged a 12 piece place setting of Reed and Barton last month for a truly incredible price. So incredible I bought a second set for my niece for next Xmas.

The designer pieces go fast. Just because it is at one outlet it may not be at the next. So if you want it and can afford it buy it.

The Ripka I buy at the outlet, is usually pieces I missed at the Q or didn't truly appreciate until I saw them for myself.

It may be helpful if those of us who shop the outlets, let others know what we find. If you are local you can snag it. If not, you may be able to use the info to help with a resale purchase.
