I appreciate you pointing out deals, but I will buy from sellers here way before I will buy from Petedge or anyone else when it comes to small ticket items. I firmly believe in supporting small business when I can............ | Oh, and I agree, I would buy from Chloedj, Debbie's Bows, RoseBelleAttireHome, puppywraps, chloebella, carolsbows, the little wind up pup, PocoMutt, & Connie's Custom Harness Dresses & Vests, etc. to name a few that custom make items, any day over Petedge b/c those bows are handmade .... The other bows that are being resold from Petedge cost a lot of money for someone else to sort them out ... even if I bought 40 bows for $19 and threw out 30 of them, I'd still be paying less than the price asked on the resale site .... the suggested retail prices of these bows are .99 - 1.49...why would anyone want to pay double, triple, or 5 times the retail price? Homemade bows are special ...
If I got the bows from Petedge, I wouldn't worry if the bow fell out since it would only have cost me less than 50 cents in most cases. However, if I got the same Petedge bow and paid a 550% markup, I WOULD care if the bow fell out. And no one can guarantee it won't. That would be kinda like spending more money for someone to sort out the green M&Ms because I didn't like them ..... When I posted the low prices of Petedge's bows, I was not directing it at any YT site at all ... I am surprised anyone responded as they did. I was alerting members to a low price. |
