This is all high-end designer stuff, correct? Like Prada, Gucci, Louis V, and so on? The site says up to 70% off, but what is the average price range on there? I'm almost certain I'd still pay a couple hundred dollars for just about anything, but it could be worthwhile. Also, if you become a member, there are no requirements on making purchases, are there (like, you don't have to spend X number of dollars in X amount of time)?  | ||

It's mostly high-end designer stuff, but also some more "common" brands like Ralph Lauren, Ecko, etc. Actually it's rare to see what you would consider "ultra-high-end" brands like Prada and Gucci, but all the clothing is from respected makers. The average price range is…most stuff is between $50 and $150. Basically, the discounts knock off the "designer premium" that you pay simply for a label or style, so that you'll end up paying what you would at a generic good clothing store like Martin+Osa or whatever. All of the items are heavily discounted from "retail" price but that doesn't always make them good buys. And if you want to get a really good deal, you have to be on top of your shit because stuff just flies once a sale opens. I've only been a member for a couple months and I haven't bought anything. A lot of the stuff is pretty "loud" for my tastes, or too – for lack of a better word – fine (the selection is geared towards professionals, types that can afford to dress to the nines both at work and out). If you are looking for a hipper, younger, more casual style you will not find too much at GILT. | ||

So on and so forth. I have yet to buy anything there, but it might be possible to buy stuff from there and then sell it on ebay and make $100 - $200 per item. Who knows? | ||

Are the brands, in general, better than what you'd find at Nordstrom's (regular priced), or pretty much the same? | ||

You won't see anything on GILT that is not either a big label or a "specialty line" (e.g. obscure Swedish rain gear maker). | ||

I guess this is where I'm getting confused. I assume you don't mean common brands like RL or Ecko and such. Like Monarchy or something? Guess? 7s, Diesel, TR, etc? Those brands, or? | ||
