Past Times MEGA Sale

Hi All,

Just wanted to let everyone know about upcoming event.

If you have a Past Times retail store near you, or even if you dont, it'll be worth visiting in around 4 weeks!

Due to a takeover in January the new owners have decided to sell off all the old lines from the previous buying scale.

Therefore after Fathers Days sometime (havent been given exact date yet)
90% of the current stock will go to 75% off and more!

Word of warning, this is unlikely to include the DVD's and books that they currently stock.
However if theres anything you like the look of, I would say hold out.

I know this because I work there lol and have already starting a mental list of things to get for Xmas!!!!

    I was in the Liverpool shop last week and the sale started last Thursday 15/6/06. I was advised that the online Past Times is a different company so they may not have the same reductions.

    Just had a quick look on the website and it is advertising some reductions of up to 70%. Some books and dvd's included so somebody may find a bargain.

    Theres plenty of bargains to be had!

    Sorry its taken me so long to reply, had SOOOOOOOOOOO much work to do lol.

    The actual date for the sale was 19th June, however........... last thursday the powers that be decided to let stores start early, with little warning to the stores.

    There are now further reductions to the garden offers instore, lots of jewellery some gorgeous pieces. Lots of these items are at least half.

    Mostly smaller items have the larger reductions and great for filling up on stocking fillers.

    All stores have differing stock so I might not be able to comment on all items.

    Online should be doing an offer on everything thats on sale in stores. But online prices sometimes differ to store prices, so the percentage is the same but the price is not (if that makes sense).
    The website is run by the Past Times company, its not outsourced. But the website does not list all stock available.

    Lots of offers on dvd box sets, gift wrap, cards, candle sets, lots of bath and body items. Lots of items from victorian and art nouveau have gone in. As well as LOADS of garden, We've only got about 3 shelves of full price garden left in our store and we did have three full panels!

    In two weeks there will be an additional 20% off but it just depends if you're happy to wait. The warehouse does have a lot of stock of sale items too so shops should be well stocked for a while yet!
