website I discovered and love!-Ideeli.com

So you get those ads on the side of your facebook constantly right and usually you think, this is a scam, or too good to be true but I decided to click on one the other day advertising discount prices for designer goods. Now the deal with these usually is that they only have select sizes and extremely limited stock because of whatever reason and thats why they can sell it at this discounted price. The site is
ideeli.com/
It is almost like groupon.com or livingsocial.com in that they give you X amount of time to buy something before the stock runs out and done. Everyday they put up new items, they'll send you an email a day if you want to show you what categories have been added and done.
Yes you have to "sign up" but it's free so who cares.
The only catch I don't like is once you put an item in your cart you have 15 mins to check out or it goes back into the universe. I tried to add an item the day I discovered this website and with in the time I found it and the time I clicked "add" it had been put "on hold" basically so many people put it in their carts it's no longer in stock...UNLESS someone doesn't complete their check out. Then it is re-released. I checked back an hour later or so and it was available in my size so deciding it was fate, I purchased it.
It is in the process of being shipped so I will let you know if it is received in the condition I expect it to be.

I also ordered some valentines lingerie today by Simone Parele, a bra and panties (after shipping) for 36 dollars-$10 of that is shipping. The original list price of that purchase would be $152!! for these kind of savings the $10 shipping is somewhat justified.

The Only unfortunate thing about this is the buying starts at 9am pacific time and with in seconds of it starting you only have enough time to put one item in your cart before it's "on hold" so if you want more than one item and they look popular, your probably screwed. Also if you have an upgraded account you can bid BEFORE the time begins. Now I'm not sure what it takes to be upgraded but I'm sure it's a cost I'm not willing to pay. But the item I truly wanted most today was sold out before time even began. I'm currently on a wait list that I'm sure I will stay on until the time is up. You win some you lose some. None the less an amazing find!
