| It looks like some people are intentionally misunderstanding your thread. I think most of us understand that you are perfectly aware of supply and demand and it's pretty insulting for anyone to imply otherwise. The problem many have is when it's done in a way that appears sneaky or dishonest- especially here at YT. I'm really surprised to see a seller defending it to be honest. Maybe a thread should be started to educate certain sellers that their customer base does not appreciate being insulted, especially when there are so many options.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | I would say it's a buyer's decision what they're willing to pay. I'm sure it irks people who know what the items sold for originally...but purchasing anything includes a mark up. Plus on the Walmart, Target items...we are all assuming everyone lives close to one of these retailers...well my Sil's family lives in Kansas...the nearest mall shopping area is 75 miles away. I purchased that Walmart bomber jacket from someone on here...I knew what the original price was...but honestly buying it here...outweighed me driving to every Walmart in town to find it.

| Yeah but the point is just because you can scr%w your customers, doesn't mean you should. My mom owned a dog boutique for many years and I am well aware of the typical mark up and have no problem with it. But if I bought a carrier for $60 and later saw it at PetSmart for $18, I would feel taken advantage of and would never give my business to that person again. There are many awesome sellers who make an honest profit and inspire customer loyalty. Anyone who thinks it is okay to sell a Walmart or Dollar Store dress at boutique prices would never get my business.

I totally agree. This is exactly how I feel about it. Just my own opinion.

| We don't have Tuesday Mornings around us, but it sounds like I'd love the store!

That being said I do like your reasonable business sense of keeping your customers. You would do very well and would have many repeat customers.

Remember, the only reasons ANY businesses make money is because of hiking the price off of the last person or entity's price. The markup on things in your typical department stores is hideous. If you knew what Macy's pays to get each article of clothing from the manufacturer, it'd probably anger you. Let's say I live 45 miles from a Walmart, but I see a carrier I like online. It's 20 bucks at the store, and 40 online. So should I drive 90 miles roundtrip, burn the gas and waste my time, or should I buy it online?? Different strokes for different folks... | |
