It is a common notion that sale items are sold on quickly and in large quantities to demanding customers. I can assume that with the current end of season sale well underway, the most popular and demanding products will most likely be sold out; right?

Yes and no - During sale periods especially; I tend to buy larger quantities of reduced items mainly on impulse! And when I stride out of the bustling stores; up to my arms with bags of clothes, clothes and yet more... clothes! I do feel like I have just come out of a rain forest expedition rather than a simple shopping trip. But I also know that I can be hugely indecisive when it comes to picking the right outfit for a specific occasion;

-I may rely on feedback from my shopping buddies if a certain item may suit me or not?
-I may rely on a mannequin (that is nowhere near what I actually look like!) to imagine myself wearing the outfit I have in mind.
-The changing rooms maybe closed/too busy for me to take time to try on that outfit
-I don't have the time!

So I am more than likely to return more than half the items I bought in the first place; at this point I become an absolute hypocrite! I feel good buying loads of stuff not because I have maxed out my credit cards at this point but because I feel I have saved some amount of money purchasing during the sales and also the fact that I can go home knowing I will spend my evening trying on clothes whilst imagining myself a tall, slender supermodel strutting through the flashing lights on a fashion catwalk! (In my dreams!)
The point I am trying to make is that sales don't end as soon as items become out of stock; because customers will continue to return their previous purchases and stores may continue to discount new lines that will be added to the current sale so this season's stock can be moved on to make room for newly upcoming stock. Some items may be discounted even further and you may find yourself trying out items you may not have originally considered!
I have also found that products on sale amongst online outlets tend to diminish at a faster rate. There are only a handful of warehouses that will stock the entire range but even more stores that may not offer you complete freedom of choice as a website would but are more likely to stock certain sizes, designs, styles that may be unavailable elsewhere.
