Lisasoaps Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I got this email today from ebay...Hi, I will give you $50 for the 50 4oz SHEA BATH BOMBS BOMB FIZZY u pik scent - including shipping. $50 total. I will be using these for myself - NOT FOR RESALE - so I will not be trying to undercut you. The 4 oz. bath bombs I buy from Kmart are $1 each, so it makes no sense for me to pay more. There is the potential that I will become a good customer though and will probably end up placing several orders a year since I take a bath every single day after work and will use them up quickly. Please let me know if this works for you. Thanks, Christina K-mart ? WTF !!! Anyone have an ingredient list for the balls at kmart I am so irritated with this email I dont even know how to respond.

ScentedLuxuries Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 (edited) I'd probably ignore it and delete it. People seem to have a lot less tact on ebay. Edited February 3, 2010 by ScentedLuxuries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adillenal Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 If you have to respond ( I would ignore) say no I cannot accept your offer. period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celicagtca Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Tell them this "if you want QUANTITY, keep shopping at K-Mart, if you want QUALITY, these are our prices".See if they write you back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 (edited) The thing people will do. That is more than rude. I would explain that you are not Kmart and you are selling a high quality hand crafted product so you can not accept her offer.

NaturallyTru Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I believe that there is a Christina who is a scammer. I recall from 4 years ago (wow...I can remember that far back?) she was going around the candle circuit. I'd tell her your handmade product's quality is higher than Kmart's and you cannot sell at a lower price. If she would like to continue using low quality products, please continue to purchase at Kmart.Trudi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisasoaps Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 My curiosity got the best of me. I just emailed her back with...Hi, can you give me the ingredients list from the kmart bath bomb please. I may be able to work something out with you. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandgirl Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I think you should go to the dollar store buy bath fizzes 4 for $1.00 and send him them!!! If he loves K-marts balls, then he will fall in love the the Dollar store ones!!It will cost you $12.50 for the bunch of balls and you will make $37.50.Honestly, it sounds like some foreigner who is trying to scam you. He will probably use paypal and then try to get his money back, or his credit card will be denied!!! RUN AWAY from this one!!!:tiptoe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judy, USMC Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 She said: "The 4 oz. bath bombs I buy from Kmart are $1 each, so it makes no sense for me to pay more."My reply would be: "The cost of the quality, fresh, American-made ingredients I use to make these bombs added to packaging costs plus the shipping you want included adds up to almost $1, so it makes no sense for me to make and send them for you for FREE.Additionally, I did not offer a "Or Best Offer" option. Thanks for your interest but your offer is, put simply, rude and insulting." That should get rid of her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It simply shows how little people know about the true cost of making these things though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bells4shells Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hmmm, am I the only one who thinks this sounds suspicious? Why would she even need to bring up the fact she's not trying to resell these? And not even two sentences in... This is a really weird email. I guess I'm not familiar with the people that buy off ebay. This is normal?And wow, I've heard of bargain bidding, but what she's asking is pure robbery!

smart Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I am sure that she is reselling them and tell her to go to the dollar store if she needs a bath bomb everynight maybe at the dollar she will get a better price if she buys a skid lol. I dont mean to laugh but I hate stupid people. If she is to use that much on her own personal use she might me better off making them herself.

Candybee Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Yes her comments were rude but the reference she made about not reselling them raises a definite red flag to me. Best not to get involved with such a putz. Unfortunately it means you could lose her as a 'year' customer!:laugh2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisasoaps Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 LOL !!! I realy want to know what goes into a kmart bath bomb cuz then I could tell her , Sure , I can do that after I take out the shea butter cocoa butter, jojoba oil, half the amount of fragrance, and hmmmm, how would she like if I just make a special recipe for her.Baking sodaa pinch of citric acidcorn starchlarda dash of table salta couple drops of fothat should do it....I could make a serious profit on these bad boys. :tiptoe:I love your responses but all kidding aside , even if she came to her senses (which I doubt) I still would not do biz with her. She'd probably think up some scam to get a refund. Shes bad news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagwood Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 My reply would have been - KMart and I have an agreement. I don't compete with them on price and they don't compete with me on quality. 'nuff said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
