Dress Bitch

I can't imagine paying full price for a wedding dress that I plan on wearing once or twice. So I began my real search for a dress on KSL.com classifieds. I ran into a couple reeeeal sweet ladies. Here is the email I sent one darling:

I am interested in your dress. I am slightly confused about the pricing. Are you saying you would subtract $150 from your price because it needs to be cleaned (which costs $150). Making the total cost $200+ $150 cleaning= $350. Or are you saying the dress is $350 and I will need to clean it for an additional $150. Meaning $350 + $150 cleaning = $500 which is the same as a brand new dress?

From a buyers perspective it does not make good financial sense to purchase a $350 used dress that requires an additional $150 in cleaning if I can purchase a brand new dress for the same price. I can see paying $150 for the dress. I realize that is quite a bit lower than your listed price, but I am looking on KSL for a deal. If you don't get any better offers let me know. Thanks and Congratulations!

And then her response:

Thank you for your opinion... however I did not ask for a buyers perspective. I would not drop the price from what I paid just a couple months ago to $150. If you do not want to pay the price I am asking, then don't take the time to message me. I have had several offers on the dress since posting it at that lower rate, a couple of which are more than happy to pay that price because they, like you, came to ksl to find a deal and Im offering this dress at a rate lower than it can be bought brand new.

For future references, maybe keep in mind that if an ad doesnt specifically say "please, give me the opinions from a buyers perspective", it might be ok to not. Just a thought.

Thanks for your interest.

A couple weeks later I noticed her same ad on KSL.com....tragicly the price had been lowered to $200. Sad huh?
