If your ultimate goal is to get quota bag, then stick with your home store; If you like certain products (no do not care about getting quota bags or not), then maybe it is worth checking out the sale. I know there are people in the scarf community who have been buying scarfs (online or wherever they happen to be like airport) because they love them, and have no interest in the bagsSo what do you guys think? Is better to shop at private sale but not count towards the purchase history to get qb or spend retail price at home store? Hard decision ever
