The retail mentality of the chains brought it upon themselves. Why should I go to the mall for mass-produced merchandise that’s all the same when Amazon offers a sales platform for more individualistic smaller retailers?
I like Ebay; excellent stuff that the stores don’t bother to even try to stock at all. I find blouses and pants that are better than the tripe that the stores don’t try to stock.
I mean, the buyers for these stores are supposed to find good stuff, but they aren’t bothering at all. It’s the same old tripe (the young adult stores stock mainly club wear and hooker haute couture) and nothing I’m really interested in anymore.
If these stores stocked good stuff, then there would be people buying, but they aren’t stocking anything other than what Hollywood makes fashionable, which means slutty (skinny) jeans and skin bearing tripe.
