Q Talk

They must be some method to this madness but I can't figure it out.

First They put a lot of clothing on clearance at ridiculously low prices with no returns permitted.

Then they suddenly returned the goods to ridiculously high prices, then went back and added that no returns would still be accepted on those items.

Who in their right mind would buy a garment they couldn't try and pay full price for it knowing it couldn't be returned or exchanged?

There must be some merchandising strategy to explain this.  Anybody have a clue what it might be?  Is it an accounting move of some sort?  Taxes?

What in the world are they thinking?

Crazy for the Q to do this!  I'll barely purchase an item at an extremely low price if No Returns are stipulated.

@Kachina624    I'm going with - they don't want the c*ap back anymore either.

@Desertdi   Wow!  If that's their logic, it's definitely pretty shady for a business.  You may be exactly right.

The higher prices will show a higher inventory level on hand than lower prices would have.

@PINKdogWOOD.  Great, but how do they expect to sell it under those terms?

@On It.  Is that a good thing?  How would they benefit?

I was wondering the same thing.  I would have thought they needed to show less inventory by the end of the quarter for tax purposes.

Other shopping channels and stores will drastically cut prices on items before the end of the quarters for this very reason.
