MyNines.com: One Site, Multiple Sample Sales

Style, Travel | Comment: 1
July 21st, 2010

MyNines.com organizes and displays deals from multiple sample sites.

We’ve scored deals on designer clothes, home furnishings and even luxury travel accommodations, thanks to sample sales. But our email inbox is getting overcrowded and we can’t keep track of all the items available on the growing list of discount sites. So we were intrigued to hear about MyNines.com, a “sample sale aggregator” of about a dozen sites that offer deals in fashion, jewelry, accessories, beauty, wine, travel and sports gear.

Simply sign up for MyNines and create a username and password for access to the site, which currently offers sales from the following retailers: Billion Dollar Babes, TheTopSecret.com, Gomatta Girls, Reverse, Wired for Wine, LeftLane Sports, eBay Fashion Vault, Guiltless Purse, JomaDeals.com, Enviius, BonVoyou and Jasmere, with about a dozen more slated to join. View what you would like by designer — from Abaete to KORS Michael Kors — or by category (men, women, kids, home and lifestyle), then select subcategories. The shoes category in the drop-down women’s menu, for example, is then split into smaller groupings: flats, heels, boots and athletic shoes.

Sales typically last between 24 to 72 hours, so MyNines provides a handy countdown clock with each item. Items can be viewed and organized by sale end time, discount (high to low), price, most recent sale or most viewed pieces.

Though MyNines users can view items, they must become a member of the original retail site offering the item in order to purchase it. Currently, MyNines is working on a way for members to opt out of then receiving individual alerts from the sample sale site itself to avoid confusion and email clutter. By the end of July, MyNines plans to have customized alerts for when fave brands go on sale. The site will also roll out a weekly customized email with four to five product recommendations based on the user’s previous selections.

Though MyNines still has some features yet to be implemented, we loved checking out the deals from multiple sites — and the easy ways to organize the items! Do you have a favorite site for sample sales? Tell us!
