No. You'd be buying items that other people might not get the chance to buy at the sale. For example if you buy something on the Friday and it sells out on the Saturday. On the ticket it says "The receiver of this guest ticket, agrees that the merchandise purchased by them is for "THEIR OWN PERSONAL USE", or as gifts, and MAY NOT BE RESOLD".
It just makes no sense to me to buy just to resell to people. There is no way in stopping fake MAC items but you shouldn't use that as an excuse to profit either.

Actually, Friday tickets are green, Saturday is lavender and Sunday is yellow. the tickets also DO NOT have a hologram on it. It should have an Estee Lauder logo seal (EL) and a red code on the side of the map.

Re: MAC/Estee Lauder Warehouse sale (Markham, Ontario)

Yeah, I'm not here to make profit off people. It's not like I was gonna charge people an arm and a leg for it. I would give them the same price that I paid for them. And ur right about the Logo Seal. I think I was thinking about hologram for some reason. Unfortunately I've only seen the friday and saturday tickets ONCE. Considering I only get tickets for sunday. So wasn't sure what colors they were 100%.

Re: MAC/Estee Lauder Warehouse SALE in Markham, Ontario!

I have never sold any MAC products to anyone. It was just an idea. AND yes the tickets do say for personal use only. But seriously, who abides by that anyways? A

The last time I was there, I would have sworn there were some people who seemed like they're buying purely to resell. They could barely make it to the register with all the gift sets and such. Other people hardly got anything, just a couple of items. The sales attract all sorts of people.

I don't know EL's stance on it (aside from what is posted), since they've been having the sales for years.. they must know that some guests choose to resell. IMO this sale is a great opportunity and it seems better to maintain the spirit of the sale instead of looking at it as a business opportunity. I know I'd be crushed if they decided to cancel it because of something like that.

^You mean the Dec sale right? I remember the last time I went.. a few people were lugging around SO many gift sets that some of us who were waiting to recieve it.. didn't get any cause they were lugging around so many ><. They were all like.. guarding it- multiple people to make sure no one takes it and such.. meh I'm glad EL hasn't cancelled it or anything.

This sale is a great one and yeah- I was able to get Saturday tickets now.. thank you so much!

This sale is going to be great =) Does anyone know what kind of collections will be avaliable there and if they know the 187 full size stippling brush is going to be there again? (Can't rmb the price)

Re: MAC/Estee Lauder Warehouse SALE in Markham, Ontario!

I've seen people resell on Craigslist and Kijiji - the day OF the sale! By the end of the weekend, type MAC into the search bar and there are sooooo many new ads for items! I don't think its fair for someone to go and do that - especially if that is their sole intention. But if they are selling at the same prices and not marking things up...I think that can be ok. Because honestly, how many of us will buy the max in the charity bags, end up with doubles and then pawn them off on here in the Clearance bin?

I myself have contacted people to buy things and usually only with the people that sell off their goody bag cast-off's. I've also avoided people who were jacking up prices because that certain item was in a collection that was LE or recently discontinued. But hey, thats me. Some people will buy it regardless.

All in all, just like on eBay or Specktra, someone is willing to pay the price and if that person is not familiar with products and prices, its up to them to educate themselves about potentially being ripped off.

Re: MAC/Estee Lauder Warehouse SALE in Markham, Ontario!

I know, the last time I went girls were carrying 2 bags full of eyeshadows. Even I don't buy that many. Oh well...watever rocks their boats. I'm gonna have to make sure to get there extra extra early so I can buy things for myself and it's not sold out cuz someone bought tons of it..Yeah, it's true...people buying to re-sell it again, makes it difficult for us to buy for ourself. Anywaz I've decided not to re-sell. Just get rid of some stuff I bought looked good but now I don't know wat to do with them. Like, I thought this Richmetal highlighter and bronzer would be great for eyeshadows, but I'm afraid they mite not be safe for eyes. And I don't put anything MAC on my face except eyeshadows. I break out badly. Does anyone know how to wear richmetal highlighters? Or Mineralize Sheer Bronze?

At least you'll get there early and most likely be in the first batch of people they let in!

Re: MAC/Estee Lauder Warehouse SALE in Markham, Ontario!

I have someone CPing for me and we are trying to figure prices. What is the usual discount and do they ONLY carry stuff from the last 3 months collections or other items?

I believe the prices are from 50-70% off, don't quote me on that one lol. The price varies day to day I heard, especially Friday because there will be more discounts and freebies. I don't think it's from collections from 3 months ago because as far as I know they still carry neo sci-fi and some holiday things from 2 years ago.

Re: MAC/Estee Lauder Warehouse SALE in Markham, Ontario!

Ahhh so I just found out that my brother got me 2 tickets for Friday! I'm mostly going in hopes of finding f/s pigments...can't spend too much but I'm super excited!

I went for the first time in December but I went on the Saturday. Can anyone tell me if the Friday morning line is typically as intense as the Saturday one?
