What does that mean? You may have noticed that some new fragrances, or certain brand names are sold only through big department stores like Macys, Nordstrom, etc., and only later on can be found in mom and pop stores. Why? Department stores make big deals with the manufacturers for big orders, and demand exclusivity in order to corner the market. They mark up the prices sometimes to the extend that people don’t buy the products, and the manufactures don’t like that. In time the overstock finds its way to the Gray Market and that’s how you can find your discount designer perfume deals.
