Okay so I went to a few targets in the area.

This is San Jose only....

If you want ties then go to the one on Story. They also had a good stock of hair accessories and a few of the serving tray trios.

If you want tights then go to the one on Capitol (and Silvercreek?). They also had comforter sets in the floral pattern (also avail. online)

The one on Curtner (the plant shopping center) had a few of the cookie jar looking containers, the trio of serving trays, the black and white tank dress (XL I believe), the hat, sleepwear and a few gloves.

The one on McKee had the greatest variety. I saw a rauna, knit skirts, loop pillows, a duvet set, laptop cases and other stuff.

Aw! Those 3 pillows on the bottom are the ones I returned to that Target near McKee.

I see that the black/white tankini is there. I tried to get it for an online price but the manager priced it at $19.99 so I passed. It seems it's the managers who are making up the prices that's why there's been inconsistencies since different managers have different opinions on what an online only item should be priced.

yeah I've noticed that too. they seem to just be making arbitrary numbers up. some workers will still price it full price with online if you ask. I got my second bathing suit by confusing one SA after another when they couldn't find it. when they offered a price that was higher than what I paid for the first one I brought it up and they passed me around until a worker put a clearance sticker on it. just all depends on who you talk to.

I tell ya though perseverance pays.

So I went to THREE Targets yesterday hoping to score the Brown zig zag chiffon sweater (hoping to find a return marked down) and found nothing at all. I think I might have to give up, I'm tired of spending so much time and gas trying to track down the items I want! lol

The pricing is so wonky. I returned a $35 shower curtain because i found one for $10 and the girl said both were scanning $10. I had my receipt and thankfully she didn't try to fight me on it because i was not gonna have that!

I meant to ask this here instead of the modeling thread- i'm starting to question my purchases. I'm starting to think that instead of all the Target clothes i bought i should buy one really special item instead. Especially with people talking about holes and such. Does anyone else feel this way?

I think some of the items are really well made and others not so much, take a step back and ask yourself if it didn't have the missoni name on it would you still want it?

Good thing about Target is you have 90 days to think about it, if you don't love it or use it or even reach for it that time period take it back!

Prices vary from one Target tp another normally, my Target has online returns full price, I am jealous of those who find things marked down. I actually got a vest off eBay that I thought was a really fair price,a $2 more than I would have paid if I could have gotten my hands on it, and it comes with a red clearance sticker! I am still happy to have it because I wanted it but jealous that someone got it marked down! Also glad the seller didn't triple the price on it.

I agree with this. If it did not have missoni on the label I probably would not be interested in 75% of the items sold. I normally do not buy my clothes at Target(not that there is anything wrong with that I just shop elsewhere) and I had to really step back and look at the bigger picture. I asked myself why was I chasing down these things? Was it because of the Missoni name, or because I loved the item? I found mostly it was the thrill of the hunt for me! Everyone seemed to be wanting and searching for these same items and it made them more desirable for me.
So after I went through and realized how much money I spent on Missoni from Target I decided to only keep a few special things.
I also felt weird seeing so many people wearing Missoni inside of Target and everywhere else. I did kind of turn me off a bit.
So I kept just a few things and returning the rest this weekend for some other happy buyer.
Once I decided that it was so freeing to get rid of that feeling of wanting to run to Target everyday;)

that's great advice!! i used this philosophy too on my purchases, which is what helped me to pass things up. for example, i've seen the colore cosmetic bag a few times now, and each time i looked at it, it was just an "okay" made bag with colored stripes. if it didn't have the missoni label, that really wouldn't be something i'd be interested in, so i ended up not getting it.

i only tried to buy things that were either iconic looking or were really pretty regardless of brand. i love love love my glass vases, and would have bought them even if they weren't missoni.

Congrats on the brown infinity scarf...on my wish list! :cloud9: I actually really like the B&W Spinner luggage. Much better in person than on-line!! So sorry that deadbeat kept the innards! Karma is a BISH!

Thank you! I'm excited to wear it! Re: the spinner luggage, yeah, IDK, maybe it was the one I got, but the rolling just wasn't gliding as smoothly as I would've liked. I did like the aesthetics of it though, contrary to how my hubby felt! :hrmm: Bah, what can you expect from men anyhow. :blah:

Yeah, that sealed the deal of passing on the spinner luggage entirely. WTF to that deceitful person who returned it w/its contents missing! PFFFFFFFT! Next time, he/she needs to be questioned by their loss and prevention staff for trying to pull a fast one! :police:

That's another point. I don't want to be walking down the street amongst tons of Missoni for Target items and be so recognizeable... Makes me self conscious. And like you, i don't usually buy my clohes at Target either so i was specifically seeking out these items. But they are so popular that it is sort of turning me off of them... That's why i'm feeling i'd rather have one great thing for the price. I need to reevaluate and take a step back too.

Has anyone received any email updates on cancelled items from your outstanding orders yet? I've received a dreaded email from Target on Oct 3rd saying that some items may not be available on my order, and may need to be cancelled. Items that are able to fill could take up to the end of December to ship. (I don't want to wait till Dec!! arrggghhh...) The email went on to say that within the next 10 business days, I will receive additional email communication if any items from my order will be cancelled. I haven't received any more emails from them... anyone else also waiting?

I'm still waiting. I've also heard nothing since the email on Oct 3. I honestly don't think I'll ever get my espresso set but who knows. Still a few more days to wait out the cancellations.:hrmm:

^ I haven't received any more cancellation emails but few things trickled in past week, from the unfilled orders I got that December delay notification. I was the most excited when I finally got my martini glasses!
