These really annoy me. First of all if there’s something I like within one minute my size is usually gone. This happened last night with an Isaac dolman sleeve Pima top. I thought oh women usually dump some cart items I’ll wait. So there is the one I want today and it’s $11 higher. No thanks. At least my beautiful Brick & Mortar store tells me how long a sale is running and doesn’t have so little inventory that this happens. You’re driving me away. Yes you have some nice lines of clothing but I’m tired of feeling like I’m at an auction. Much as I like this top I think Im passing. Have a sale, buy more stock and lay off the ridiculous pressure. I just feel insulted by this tactic. I’ve purchased things that went on sale after I bought from you and just considered this a part of life. ( unless it’s on sale one day after I order and I don’t even have it yet - then I call). But the one day only thing needs to go. Unless you start to stock enough. If your buyers don’t know by now what will be popular, then they aren’t very good.

Great word.........Auction

They have even narrowed a lower price to hours and minutes!  Heard DV in kitchen say...you have exactly 2 hours and change.  Why?  (ans:  to pressure customer to act now)

Cheap marketing approach
