Does anyone here shop at sample sale websites? I've been doing it for about 1.5 years, and have "saved" (loose use of the word, since I now buy more stuff that I don't need) a decent amount of money off retail stores, and even more than I could've by scouting out deals on Slick Deals or Fat Wallet.
For those who aren't aware, Sample Sales are discounted invite-only sample sale sites that sell nice clothing and products (think Saks, Neiman Marcus, etc.). They are all legitimate retailers of said products (not like some New York street corner selling knock-off Louis Vutton purses); I've ordered from all of them several times and haven't had any issues. Their offerings rotate frequently and most usually sell out within a few hours.
If you're interested in joining, I have links to some of my favorites below. I ranked them in order of my personal preference; if you have any questions, please let me know. I encourage you to join if that's your cup of tea (or your significant others')!

There are a plethora of additional sites, but these are really the only ones I've found to be good on a consistent basis.
Anyone else use them? What have you scored? Favorite one? Any other comments?
