How do sports direct manage to sell stuff so cheap. As an example the GM original LE gloves that I got recently for about £29 had an original price of about £70, now I assume sports direct got a load of them cheap from somewhere presumably for something like £15 a pair so they have a decent margin for resale.
Do they get stuff like this direct from the brands or from other stores? If its direct from the brands then surely it would make more sense for them to sell them cheap themselves (of course they may not be able to do this for image reasons or perhaps not being allowed to undercut the retailers they supply).
Just thinking that I'm sure if the brands offered their old stock for sale on somewhere like here I'm sure they'd get snapped up for a better price for them and for us. I'd be more than happy to pay GM direct for the gloves I just bought if they had some sort of end of season offer.
Of course I have no experience of working in retail so all my comments might be daft but hopefully not.
