FROM FT :
so sorry but we should have made certain points clear right at the beginning. some of u readers may be clear of these stuff because u all have been reading the site from the very beginning. but for the "newbies", they probably don't know about it.
so here it is:
Price Comparisons.
well it may not be an appropriate 'name' to some. so, shall we change the title? we were thinking of changing it to "alternatives". just that.
and also, some readers may not know why prices differ so much. is it because the sellers just want to make a higher profit? or are there reasons behind it?
here goes : [have been widely discussed in the earlier stages of this blog]
prices may differ because :
1. some sellers wanna earn more, some sellers settle for less profits. some sellers just want to price their items lower than the popular blogs just to attract more customers.
2. sellers do get cheated by the suppliers. different suppliers charge differently.
3. some sellers hire models to model their clothings
4. some sellers do have an 'offline boutique'. offline boutiques are usually more expensive than online boutiques
5. occasionally, some sellers import their items from overseas, but they didn't know that their items can be bought locally at a much lower price.
6. some sellers MAY HAVE included COD charges & postage charges into their stated price.
[do email us at fashion.truth@gmail.com if we miss out any! ]
anyway,
for now...
the SITE IS UNDER 'CONSTRUCTION'. do bear with us for the time being. lol. not major construction, just wanna draft out a proper "header/intro" so new readers dont get the wrong idea.
sellers/buyers/readers, do email us and give us your feedback on what else we should add on this blog / this header-or-intro / anything to clarify. thank u very much
*wont be updating for the next 3 days. meanwhile, we urge readers to write in to us ya!
thanks!

blogroll
e-shops that wants to be added into the blogroll, please send us an email at fashion.truth@gmail.com
would appreciate if u all could link us up too
price comparisons
1. only items which have a price difference of RM7/8 and above will be posted up.
2. the price used for this price comparison is the price stated on the e-shop's webpage. (i understand that sometimes prices for items may vary depending on customers. some e-shops just put a high price as to allow further bargaining by the customers.)
mailing list
we appreciate it if eshop owners remove us from their mailing list. we are not a fashion review site thus there's no need for us to receive mails from u all telling us that u've updated. just add us up and we'll link u up at the blogroll. with that, readers will know when u update.
thank u

Hi there author of Fashion Truth,I am writing based on a very obscure observations from the two very expensively priced online Boutiques which have proved to me nothing but dishonest and greed.TicTacToe selling Glamor Chic at rm 52. (http://tictactoe28.blogspot.com/2008/10/glamour-chic.html) while BunnyNoo selling the exact same piece at rm 60. (http://bunnynoo.blogspot.com/2008/10/black-jack.html). You and I know from experienced data that tictactoe originally is alreayde very expensively priced and rm 52, well, can be accepted sparingly. To my dismay, bunnynoo selling at rm 60 is out of hand. I am sure tictactoe already earn twice the profit let alone bunnynoo at rm 60. I don't know what is in their mind and I don't know why is this hapenning. Kindly please keep this email anonymous and that it shan't be exposed to reveal in terms of name and so forth for the safety of protecting myself.Thank you for creating this blog, it is a great step to make sure that buyers liek us exrecise caution when choosing where and who to buy from.

As a shopper, I think it is a little bit unfair to call a seller dishonest and greedy just because she chooses to charge a higher price. I personally do not call that dishonesty or greed - I call it doing business.
A seller has to look out for herself (read: her profit). It is entirely up to her to try and make as much profit as she wishes. Just as it is entirely up to us, as buyers, to look out for ourselves and shop elsewhere.
That's just my opinion, of course :) And thanks for highlighting the price difference for all of us.
Firstly, we would like to thank you (the author of this post) for opening our eyes to our customers plight about high prices. We have made a few changes so that our customers can have the pleasure of having quality items with lower prices. If not for your post, we would not have realize improvisation has to be done. We are now modeling our items on a mannequin instead of an actual model. Lower cost = Lower prices.
We would appreciate it if you retracted your comments of I quote 'dishonest and greed' and 'I am sure tictactoe already earn twice the profit'. These are mere accusations and not proven facts and is considered defamatory.
Elyse, thank you for taking the time to explain the simple concept of an open market. I am confident the author of this post is an educated individual and can digest the facts.
Thank you and a pleasant day to all of you readers =.)
