Bush Christmas: $170 jacket now $80 at Macys
it was supposed to sell for $170 (Nice brand that usually doesn't discount), it was marked for $99 and got a 20% surprise. If it was the 26th I'd understand, but not 4 weeks before Christmas. If they had a choice they wouldn't discount it, at least not that much.

1. I bet the high end retailers are doing quite nicely,
like Tiffany, Cartier, Neiman Marcus.

2. sounds like retailers are going to have a tough Christmas

What else would you expect with a "wealth redistribution" presidency? Pretty soon top 1% will hold as much wealth as the rest 99% and how much can 1% consume? Their assets will be tied in currency speculations, hedge funds and foreign markets. As soon as the consumer debt bubble starts to burst, we will look at a long downward spiral. But it's all good as long as all gays are unmarried or even better dead.

4. It'll be $12 in the thrift store...
in a couple of months. Now, that's trickle-down economics!

5. That probably still includes a markup from the cost

Knowing how much they pay the children that make these things.

9. If they get marked down to about 70% off can you let me know please
I'm an Art major and most of the students at my College would go crazy over them. We could do a number on his face that cartoonists would use the rest of *'s life :evilgrin:

We are a very creative group of people :D
