Going Out Of Business (?) Sale

In store and online, a Racked tipster brings word that Saks has increased markdowns to a full 80%... even though some sales items had already been reduced by as much as 90% since early December.

**Update: Readers are writing in with some inspiring stories/intel: "I got a Versace leather jacket last night for $425 - retail $1895. Damn. Some other good stuff too, lots of jeans, some jackets and lots of random shirts/sweaters on the 80% off racks. Clerk told me its been really slow and for future sales he expects some consolidation sales - stuff from other stores that isn't selling that they'll bring to NY where, even while slow, still more traffic."**

  1. Does Saks carry a good selection for men??

    Would like to know if anybody has been inside the store yet.

  2. At this point in the season, it's really hit or miss, Anon. What's available online should give you a pretty good idea of what you'll find in the store.
