See two items in my dream box marked 90% off, yet they're still the same price as yesterday. Only difference is that they're now final sale.

This is typical. Yoox usually reduces the prices the day before they announce the sale.

You might have known this already that during free shipping with min purchase (US $200), the required dollar amount is the price before applying yooxcode. If you experience situations like:

Total for items: $180
Standard shipping: $9.95
yooxcode: xxxxxx

Instead of adding another item, you just need to remove the yooxcode so that the total for items changes to $200+ and shipping to free. And then you add the yooxcode and shipping will remain free.

The price for the two items has been the same for a little while now. Doesn't look like they dropped yesterday either. Someone should make a site similar to camelcamelcamel for yoox.

@Sym the tags only suggest their participation in the promotion. Their prices don't necessarily drop in the final sale promotion. The two items you are watching might have reached the bottom prices or strategically set to be unchanged.

A camelcamelcamel for Yoox is kinda useless because it can't predict the next price drop. And Yoox prices don't fluctuate except for going down and then remaining unchanged as they hit the bottom.

Perhaps 5 years from now, the mediocre discount that we enjoy now will join your fond memory of 2006 becoming history.

Yes they slap the tag on to draw in non regular customers but several items in my dreambox have not changed for several months but got the tag BUT the big bonus is several that were blocked from using the 25% code are now unblocked so fire away!

I find that prices do fluctuate. The goal wouldn't be to predict the next price drop, but to see the items lowest price. For example, theres an overcoat I picked up for around $200 which is currently listed at $1,300; a sweater I purchased for around the same amount is currently listed at $600. Another coat I am looking at has been as low as $400 during sales, but is currently listed at $900.

Prices in general are worse than they were even 3 - 4 years ago looking back at my purchase history. Pretty much Yoox is no longer a cult site - many here in the US didn't know about it and were only scavenging on Gilt and Myhabit at one point.

@Sym price tracking doesn't work for yoox because
1. once an item is sold out it may not be available on yoox again and if it does it also has a new product code. its procurement cost may be different for yoox so its min price will also vary.

2. even if there's a way to trace it to a sold out listing, the previous as sold price doesn't have any predictive power. the knowledge of the same coat being sold for $200 last time won't stop someone from buying it as soon as it's in new arrivals as the person doesn't want to risk losing it. it could also get little interest this time allowing its price to drop to the bottom.

with yoox building more demand, there's no doubt the discount will get worse with time.
