Skeets, I noticed several of the ones I use raising prices and then giving out coupons that often don't even bring them back to pre-raise levels. Bluefly was very noticeable. For example, Donna Karan shirts were $69 and the raised them to $85. Then you get 20% off and you save a buck. Big Whoop. On some items, you are still behind. For example, Vasta suits were $399, got raised to $650 and 20% off doesn't get them back to where they were. So, you have to be careful. If sales are down this year in Etail, it is because they were silly enough to think we were loyal. Hah! <g>
