five finger fire sale

When, upon learning of an impending loss of employment, an employee begins to plunder items from his or her workplace. Typically, items are selected either for their functionality (computer monitors, hand tools) or their purpose as memorabilia (large company logos, reserved parking lot signage).

Jeff: "That sucks you're getting laid off man"
Tim: "Yeah, it's alright though. They're having a five finger fire sale right now, got out with a new printer and the CFO's coffee mug."

Aritzia Sale 

Any store that has a '20%-50% off or more sale', but in reality its either a) barely anything is on sale or b) less than $3 is taken off of original price.

Aritzia has a tendency of doing it.

Person 1: Hey let's go to Aritzia! They're having a sale!!!

Person 2: Pfft not worth it, it's just gonna be another Aritzia Sale where it's $1 off that $98 sweater.

garage sale trail 

The path most consumer technology takes, from gee wiz. to so what, to make an offer. In other words technology will become quickly outdated and lose most of its value. The rule of the garage sale trail is a curse to the first owner but a blessing for the next owner.

The rule of the garage sale trail makes a $1,000 tv worth $50 in 5 years.
