Sounds like it was a big cluster because Clemson has lost the ability to plan and run events. So stupid. They should open this for the students on Friday and public on Saturday. Students were in line for hours and didn't even get in.

and able to stock up on 50+ boxes of shoes

First, I don't think I'll do this again. I'm not a reseller and even though I live nearby, I'd almost rather pay full price than have to deal with this mess.

Second, I don't think most of it was "surplus" stuff from CUAD. Yes, the jerseys (which were strewn on the floor in a pile) may have been from CUAD, but the vast majority of the items on the tables was tagged with a price and in plastic bags (at least initially until people started ripping those open and discarding the plastic on the floor).

Other thoughts:

- This might have been more of a Fanatics sale since the receipt clearly stated "Fanatics."
- The tables are clearly marked "Hoodies SM" "Hoodies MED" etc but what they don't do is distinguish between women's and men's within those categories. A women's large is smaller than a men's large. With polo shirts, you can tell by looking at them whether they're for a man/woman, but you usually need to open the bag to see it.
- They had FOUR checkout people and the wait to check out was over an hour.
- Try on EVERYTHING before you buy it. For some reason, the sizes were a bit off and a Men's XL fit better than a LG and I wear a LG.

For the future, if they're going to allow resellers, they should have a separate checkout queue for them. Personally, I agree that they should limit the number of items you can purchase. They gave out clear plastic bags (they were essentially bags that you'd buy ICE) so maybe just allow everyone to fill that bag and you're done. If you want to bring your kids to get more, fine, but people that are bringing their own moving boxes, oversized travel bags, etc. are only there for one reason and that is to buy for resale.
