on their facebook page it says up to 40% off

That could easily mean the average discount is 10-20% with only a few items (that they'd have a hard time selling) @ 40%.

[18seagate]

100%

[MarkS]

100%

?

a friend of mine called them a few mins ago and they said that the sale is starting at 10-30% off entire store today, and as time passes the sales are going to get bigger.
I think i'm going to wait for tomorrow to go, with hopes that there'll still be some goodies left, and it'll be cheaper than today. but ya never know...

Come too early and there's 90% of inventory left @ 10% off. Come too late and there's 10% of inventory left (stuff nobody wants) at 90% off.

Whoever goes please report back.
Thanks!

One day won't make much of a difference IMHO.

I guess you're right, but it doesn't look like i'm going to be able to make it there today regardless, so it's gonna have to wait for tomorrow. 
If anyone else goes, please let us know how things are going there...

Isn't the yearly BASH 30 to 50% off? What's the big deal? This just seems like an untimely Bash. I'll wait for 70-90% off

[sguitarist18]

By the time it gets to that, you might be able to get a garish pink-polka-dotted shirt for 80% off...if you want it...or it might work. Or maybe you want that shirt.

Either way, good luck!

was there today the only stuff that are 40% off is the kid stuff mens suits and pants and blazers were 30% & everything else was 20%

I was there today, I sent Dan an email from the store asking him to post it. I didnt have a way of posting it. He obviously didnt either.

So here is the email that i sent.

HI Dan,

I'm at SYMS/FILENES right now. Came with the wife to check it out. There are no crazy sales. Everything is like you said, 10-20% off FULL PRICE. Very few clearance items.

Please post on forums. I don't have access.

Thanks,
