I’ve mentioned to some of you (and some of you have seen) my Christmas find on One Kings Lane. I thought today to be a fitting time to fill you in on the “TasteMaker Tag Sales" that occur weekly (oftentimes on Saturday at 11 AM) on One Kings. Interior Designers, many of which are very well known, have “Tag Sales” where, what appears to be their overflow inventory from their jobs, is on sale. The Sales are essentially virtual antique stores. There is generally one of each item. As you “pick-up” the item in the “store,” (or place the same in your virtual cart), the item is “ON HOLD.” If you decide to go for it, upon the completion of the transaction a “SOLD OUT” sign appears on the item. And, if you are on the fence, the item can stay “ON HOLD” in your cart for 15 minutes. After that time, the program yanks the find from your cart and others are able to buy it. You will need to brace yourself for the prices, they are generally unrealistic for most. But, sometimes, you’ll find something special that is either a good deal, or worth the splurge. The painting below is such a case. I couldn’t help myself. Its an undersized signed oil painting.
Otherwise, One Kings is great for finding random items on the daily sales which generally feature a close-out type of inventory—blankets, candles, sheets, books, pots, etc. First come first serve.
Be careful—one can get a little crazy on sights such as these. To easy to spend too much money!
Beautiful! It's an online "store"? I am excited to check it out. Love your blog, Jordan! Happy 2011. Many blessings.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to finally get to see your chair! I love it! And have to agree it was worth whatever your splurge was on it. A one of a kind...just like you :)
