Is Buying Discounted UGGs a Good Idea?

By Abigail Madisson

Are you considering buying discounted UGGs? There is no denying that UGGs are among the hottest items on everyone's wish list this holiday 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 of the matter is that there are hardly anymore brand new UGGs with a discount this season. 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.

If so, then what are those they sell online? 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.

Compare several items before placing a bid. Different sellers may have different prices that may be more of a bargain for you.

You may want to steer clear from online merchants who offers brand new pairs at cheap prices. 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.

Remember also that these discounted UGGs don't just belong under one name brand alone. 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.
