Given my tag you will be aware that I don't get much practice splitting hairs!!
It's just that I am always bemused at the lengths that retail outfits will go to to drag people in the door.
"Fire Sale", Re-location Sale (still there for the same next year!!), Liquidation Sale or "owner caught finger in the door sale" etc etc.
You MAY end up getting something comparatively cheap (Not too hard when its $100 rip off before....now only half a rip off at $65.)
The fact is that these "sales" are not that much cheaper than in Aussie, if you catch the equivalent sort of promotion there.
And....there are no Billabong factories in Bali :-)
