I know, right?! That’s what I read here all day long. That k28 & b30 are easier. Sometimes I secretly wonder if I should have asked for k25 and b25, so that they would offer me those?
Reverse psychology..
To clarify.. This was last year when I was told this. And what my SA says was: k28 retourne is harder than k25 retourne. K28 sellier is easier than both k25. At least at my store, or maybe to her? I’m curious to know how they allocate bags.
The hardest bag to get was my Evelyne TPM ironically. I've had home stores in two states (not at the same time) and neither has been easy.
I've been curious about which stores are considered "competitive" Is there a list somewhere?I realized we shop at the same store too. 🤗
Dunno if you can tell, I’m working on my 500 posts.
To keep this on topic, I think spend threshold is very real. When people say after 2020, 3:1 for a popular spec in a competitive store, in my experience it’s been the case.
Just throwing it out there, maybe.... you're most desired spec is just out if reach to keep you in purchase the loop.That’s what I’ve read for years.
As with everything H, things could happen quite unexpectedly.
I got two b25, within a year, while waiting for a b30.
I’m now waiting for a retourne k28, but my SA says at our store that’s harder than k25!
Very interesting.
It’s not a hard and fast rule that you have to spend x to get y … People likely have gotten recent QB offers with more or less spend at this store. It was just to illustrate the type of clients that you’re competing with for the exact same bag specs. I’m sure your SA is lovely, but if she only has 1 K25, it would be very difficult for her to justify why she should offer it to you instead of my friend
Totally get this! When I got to look at the example in store, my SA was like "oh a b30 for sure is too heavy for you.", and said the 25 is right for me. They seem to agree the 25 is my perfect size for either b or k, it's just too bad that everything is so incredibly stiff competitively. I might ask straight up if it's unrealistic to ever expect with my rate of purchase, but talking directly about it tends not to be their favorite course and they tend to dismiss the idea of talking about the spend. They said they'd try their best to get me one for my birthday but that it might take longer, which was a few months ago, so it might be that it's impossible and I'm not being told, or they're trying their best. It's all so obfuscated.
1:1 should be plenty (assuming a size 25 or larger and not lizard). Exotics are difficult to sell so make sure your SA knows you are interested and it should be no problem.
May I ask what the spend threshold for lizard is? Does it mean lizard is harder to get compared with croc? thx!
Chiming in quickly here - lizard is particularly hard to get because it's a push offer. I'm waiting on a lizard, and I got a cargo b25 before a lizard offer.
