Discounted UGGs: Is It A Good Idea?

By Abigail Madisson

You may have heard of discounted UGGs. After all, the product is simply the hottest-selling item for the season. This means that they are selling like crazy. Many stores both online and around the block are running out of UGGs stocks. Whether its last year's style or this year's new release, UGGs are getting sold out. For some UGG enthusiasts, the only other option is to look for discount UGGs in online auction sites.

The truth is, there are hardly anymore brand new UGGs with a discount this time. Because of the demand, new UGGs will most likely be sold in their appropriate price. Some would know that UGGs aren't the cheapest footwear in town. During the buying season, you should expect to pay more than a hundred dollars for a pair of new UGGs.

What are those they sell online then? Many pair of UGGs that are being sold in auction sites may be second hand. This is the perfect time for sellers to auction off their pairs because frustrated UGG enthusiasts would definitely turn to auction sites if they can't find what they want on regular sites. Prices for discounted UGGs in auctions may still be higher than normal because of the season but they should definitely fall below new UGG prices because they have already been used.

You should only consider buying from an auction site if you are already a fairly experienced auction participant and UGG expert. This is because auction sites are never free from bad merchants who will try to trick you into buying fake UGGs. The terrible thing is that inexperienced shoppers easily get duped because fakes are so cleverly made that they can't be told apart from real UGGs. Fakes however don't provide the same degree of comfort as real UGGs.

If you haven't tried online auction and want to purchase a pair of UGGs, it's best if you do a little research first. Go online and take note of all the feature details that distinguish real UGGs from fake ones.

Look into several pairs before you place a bid. Different sellers may have different prices that may be more of a bargain for you.

Keep away from merchants that sell a brand new pair at a rock-bottom price. Claims like these are almost always a definite sign that what is being sold is a fake item. Real UGGs are sold for a steep price. Sellers have to additionally pay for some fees so new UGGs in auctions should logically sell higher. Otherwise, sellers will not be able to earn their investment back.

It is important to note that discounted UGGs don't just belong under one name brand. UGGs are also traditional Australian footwear. Other brands will therefore be selling UGGs. You might want to consider looking for some of these brands that may cost less than more popular ones.
