I will periodically repost this post in order for new readers to easily find the links to join this marvelous world of internet shopping.
Like I said before, I started this to share my designer bargain hunting info on a larger scale. Rather than forward the email again, I thought I could just post the info here and direct friends and friends of friends to this site.
These are the sites I use. Some will require you to join. All are free unless you opt for premium membership, which I did at smartbargains.com for an additional 10% off all orders and discounted shipping. The first set of sites have new designer boutiques that open each day and stay open for one to two days. The items in each boutique are sold on a first come first serve basis. They allow you to put an item in your cart where it is on hold for you for a limited amount of time. After the time limit, the item is released and available for others to purchase. After a couple weeks you might see a last chance sale where unsold items from the designer boutiques are featured in a last chance boutique. You will find the price is usually lower than in the original release but stock is limited and often these are final sales which are not returnable. Also, referring friends to the site who make a purchase usually earns you some form of merchandise credit.

The following do not require you to join. I have found that the end of season sales for yoox.com are awesome. However, I avoid shopping here unless there is a sale. I do most of my "not club" shopping at smartbargains.com. I think they have a reasonable return policy and rate (prepaid return shipping label for 9.95 which is deducted from credit). 6pm.com has good prices but returns are at customer's expense and I almost had to spend $45 dollars for my return there before squeezing the items into a smaller box which still cost $20.
