Yes, it is all regular NM stores. You should call another NM to pre-sale. Try the one at Tysons Corner, VA. I know for a fact they are doing pre-sale.

vagabag · Jul 10th, 2009, 12:23 PM

will NM do a PA for the additional 10% off, does anyone know?

randr21 · Jul 10th, 2009, 12:57 PM

so what is the final discount off for NM stores? 70% off original price?

shiba_inu · Jul 10th, 2009, 04:38 PM

I was wondering about non-clothing markdowns.
So, I called NM and spoke to someone in a non-apparel department. Not trying to repeat, just passing on what I was told:

They said that they're doing presale and the official start of the sale is next Wednesday, July 15.
According to the SA, the prices would be about 65% off. But that doesn't sound correct to me. Unless it varies from department to department.
He said that they just took a hard markdown on sale items, which is lower than last time's sale. There is no extra % off the sticker price, but instead, a lower "final" sticker price. The last sale was for an extra 25% off of sale items. At least that was the last sale in store which I recall. I purchased items at that time for about 62.50% off. I am assuming it would be closer to 70% off this time around. But, I think last winter, some departments had 75% off.

Yes, it is different from dept to dept. I think handbag/shoe/accessory is generally only 55% off, while apparel is around 65% off.

I called NM and SA said it will be in a range of 30%-50% off the current sales price.
She presold me a pair of Chanel over the phone and the total is around 55% off original price....

Hi ladies, I just called my SA at NM in Fort Lauderdale, pre sale on handbags is 55% off the original retail price. She is trying to locate a turquoise Prada for me, there are only 2 in the country, hopefully one of them will be mine

Thanks for clarifying Alice!
It is confusing, to say the least, with all the different %s off.
Wish they could just do a straight 75% off across all departments.

Then again, that could be scary, both for the shoppers and bad news for the store. And I know we all want NM to stay around for a long, long time.

Congrats! I have been searching high and low for chanel, and I thought they were all sold out! Which ones did you get?

I wonder if any of you got the black/yellow patent chanel pumps i preordered today (NM)? I was kicking myself for passing on some blue/green ones at Saks last week so scoured SF for this pair =)
