Barneys swan song continues

Shoppers continue to bid farewell to Barneys New York, which was recently sold to ABG Group. While Barneys is expected to continue to live on in some form (A licensing deal could see it as a shop-in-shop within Saks Fifth Avenue stores), their customers have been anxiously awaiting for the department store chain to start some real discounts on the merchandise. The liquidation sale started at only 5 percent off, which quite frankly, many Barneys shoppers found insulting, especially for states with sales tax where 5 percent off wouldn't even cover that.
