What does Oasis do with items when the sales end?

I'm going to be an auntie in February, am searching the sales for something to wear to the christening and have had my eye on some bouclé tweed.  However, most of the bouclé separates I'm finding in the sales (in Zara, Mango, River Island or H&M) have no matching articles, or the skirts that match the jackets are too short to wear to a christening, especially as I am tall. 

The one that has suitable matching items is Oasis, but that's because they haven't marked them down to an affordable price.  Just went on the Oasis website to find that a) they haven't made further reductions on the stuff I want and b) the sale ends at midnight tonight, so they're not going to. 

At least, officially they're not going to mark down further.  They have to do something with clothes they didn't shift in the sales.  There isn't a physical Oasis outlet because there are no longer any physical Oasis stores, so does anyone know where I might find this stuff reduced further as of tomorrow?  Ebay?

    It may come back at a lower price later on, in a different sale. 

    But waiting for a further reduction means you may face the same problem of not finding the separates in your size. 

    Edit - it looks like there is currently a further 15% off in the sale with the code "extra" - how much more of a discount are you seeking?

    More than that.  It's an up to 75% off sale and they've only knocked 20% off the jacket and dress I've got my eye on.  They'd need to be half the original price to be affordable.  Not paying more than £100 for an outfit.

    If it's the premium wool mix items you're looking at, I'd be surprised if they'll be knocking another £25ish off each item (unless they're down to one size /only a couple left and want to get rid) 

    The jacket, dresses and skirt are lovely, and could all be worn as a set or easy to mix and match - they would be ideal for office work... and tailoring is apparently coming back in.

    The more heavily reduced tweed/boucle is in paler colours and less lovely IMO.

    Sorry, that's not what you want to hear though.

    If the sale ends at midnight tonight, make sure you keep a screenshot (or item number) for the outfit you have your eye on. If it isn't marked down any further tomorrow and disappears from their website, contact them and make an offer. They might say yes, or make a counter-offer you'd find acceptable. 
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!
