Nieman Marcus Sign
“Don’t Buy Today!”
Jerry and Terri Kohl, the owners of Brighton Collectibles paid an impromptu surprise visit to their new Ala Moana store enroute to Maui today.
While there we walked around the mall looking at the various sale signs in the windows. As we walked past this sign in Nieman Marcus, which said, “Pre-Sale in Progress”, Jerry asked me, “What’s a Pre Sale?” and he laughed when I commented, “I don’t know.” It was as if they were saying, “Don’t Buy Today!”
The Man’s In Town
Terri was here a month or so ago, but this was Jerry’s first visit to the new store. He was very impressed and as you might imagine, the salespeople were thrilled to meet him and pose with both of them for this photo.

Stores are panicking with sales. It’s crazy; I have never seen anything like it. I guess that it’s a good time for shoppers, but surely not for retailers trying to make a profit by driving each other’s prices down and down.

It’s always so good to see you all out there in sunny Hawaii. It’s real cold here and you warm our hearts.

My understanding of the Neiman Marcus pre-sale is that you get to “reserve” items in advance and then when the real sale occurs, you can actually purchase those items and take them home.

How crazy is that. If it’s on sale, sell it now,and give it to me now. I think this is a gimmick to get you back into the store a second time. What an insult! I hope people are not falling for it.
