A tipster/shopper sends up these images from the Vince sample sale—the first taken five minutes before it opened at 4pm. It goes till 8pm tonight. Tomorrow it will also be open from 4pm-8pm at 5406 Wilshire Boulevard, at the rear ground floor, only credit cards accepted. We also get a snapshot of the price list, which ranges from $20 for tank tops to $150 for leather jackets. Um, these are some good prices, people. Cashmere sweaters are $75, chunky sweaters and puffers $100, everything else is $40 and under! Our tipster reports on the merch:

Oh! It's very dark in here! Yes, I will say bad lighting. 30 people at a time. The lines not too bad. Lots of chunky sweaters, very long cardigans, fluffy angora looking things, fall/winter colors for knits, tshirt tables - lots of bold colors, some cashmere sweats. Good selects for guys. Not as good as it was in the past but its worth a trip if your in the market for a cozy sweater.

Even if the selection is not quite as stellar as past sample sales, the prices may make up for it, which sound lower than our previous Vince sample sale outings.
