Wow, $1750 for a case in the business line? I just checked the Tumi website with all their leather cases. The most expensive one is the Townhouse Esmond Satchel for $795. Maybe those prices were artificially marked up. Tell the customer that the item was $1750, mark it down to $950, when in reality the most expensive item is $800. Very dishonest business practice if those were the prices they had marked.
Buyer beware. Always inform yourself of the price range before you buy a high ticket item. Don't assume that just because it's an outlet store you are getting a great deal.
