SHOP.blink.ph – Philippines Online Guide: Internet Trading Auctions Shopping Buying Selling Classifieds

Head over at SM Department Store, Fragance Section, and maybe you can still avail of this good deal.

We (my wife and I) got this last Thursday from MOA. No plan really to buy perfume but we checked Perry Ellis availability, for purchase on later times.

While at the kiosk, the Hugo Boss and Lacoste sales guys were all over us. They gave us assorted combo of deals and promos and ended up getting the final offer.

The offer: Get the new Hugo Boss for women line, FEMME (50ml) and get the Hugo Boss for men, at 50% price cut. Price of Hugo Boss Femmes is P3450.00 and the 100ml for men original price is P3250.00, chopped to P1625.00. Total price is P4875. They bundled one Hugo Boss bag which they claim to be of high quality. I told them all are made in China nowadays and they pointed out that no, this is from Europe. Checking it at home, tag inside says… MADE IN CHINA. Anyhows, bag is just a bonus, no problem there. They also gave free 2 sets of Hugo Boss vial and 1 free vial of Dolce Gabbana.

Deal or no deal? Deal!

Finally, their promo overlapped with the SM promo of 10% discount for SM Adavantage card holders. Thus, another 10% off we got.

Yahoo! I got one fresh Simply Taupe Vintage – 1V249 Converse Chuck Taylor. Dough used in the purchase was from my eBay Shoe Expo! And so, my online selling at eBay is giving me funds to by new stuff.

At MOA SM Department Store, price is P2950 but it’s on sale! Only P2150.00. Last stock at the show rack. Was lucky to get a steal. And to add, SM offers 10% discount for SM Advantage Card Holders. So, the final tab was only P1989.00. Not bad for hi-top Chuck. Original Chuck Taylor logo on inside ankle, canvas Uppers, contrast interior and stitching. BTW, this is my chuck3, chuck2 here while chuck1 aint pretty no more. (more…)

We all understand that bidding (and winning) a bid at eBay binds a seller and buyer into an agreement. That is, to finish the deal. But we Filipinos are hard-headed bunch and so we would always find away to botch up the deal.

One of the most popular alibis, is the SICK ALIBI. This goes in a different variety like, my other is sick, i am sick, my father was hospitalized, my dog is on the vet, and so on. The storyline is, the funds to be used for the bid was used in the meds or hospital bills.

Once received, what can a seller do? Personally, I just let it go. Who knows, the story is legit and I don’t want Mr. Karma hunting me back. But we all know too well, that sick-alibi is the default alibi of eBay.ph users.

I’ll be posting some samples of “sick-alibis” along with other weird and classic reason I can find. I’ll check my email archive and will post new ones too as soon as received. Samples below:
