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

seller 14

from KISS AND TELL

hey dear fashion truth,

kindly get ur facts right before simply posting up price comparison.

that pink heels mezzanine is selling is so totally NOT the glamourous heels i am selling.

if you notice, the sole is not made out of satin, and the design is totally different!!

how can you just blindly simply posting up heels that are entirely different?!!

gosh.


please be a little more ethical will you?

besides, the 4 inches heels are of different colour, whats the point of the price comparison anyways?

i thought you people only compare items of same design and colour...

kindly remove that mezannine heels as its so totally different. its not even the same height, same quality & design.

thank you.

from FT :

the post that is being referred to :
http://fashion-truth.blogspot.com/2008/11/price-comparison-88.html

since we're not too free to slowly go and compare the details and all that, and we definitely do not have the time to go and ask the sellers personally how much is their cost price (to prove that their items are more expensive)...........
so


TADAAAAAHH!!

new section :

Possible substitutes 1 :

our temptations call it 4" peep toe>>RM60
http://ourtemptations.blogspot.com/

kiss n tell calls it "Glamorous">>> selling at rm72

http://www.kisssssandtell.blogspot.com/


Mezzanine
RM53

possible substitutes are for those readers (& buyers) who wants a particular dress/top/item but can't afford (or not willing to pay) the price stated by a particular seller. therefore with this section, readers are able to look for a similar item that can be a substitute for it

similar can also mean

-same colour, different pattern, different height, different material
-same colour, same height, different material, different pattern
-different colour, same height, same material, different pattern

you get my drift. something to ponder.

which also means i think that it is highly irrelevant for a "similar items" post. but that's my POV.

yes, i agree. if you are including substitutes, i suggest list it under similar substitute instead of price comparison. that way, you can avoid emails with anger frm sellers regarding this matter and it will also ease our curiousity. when i first read the post ((b4 Kiss & Tell's email) I thought it was the exact same pair. least now i know, it's different. =)

hi! i've changed similar items to "possible substitues"

and regarding the Price COmparison made on K & T, it was a mistake and have been edited. i personally did not notice the difference in the heels too. after receiving an unpleasant email from K & T only did i realized that the mistake was made. anyway, customers may not analyze the difference so closely resulting in a few items that were seen as the same in the eyes of the readers. most of these items have been corrected

as for items that are not the same but is listed under Price Comparisons, sellers are welcome to tell us about it. after all, people make mistakes.

thanks!
