For the record, this item retails for 8 euro in my country (one single unit bought in a store, including our 22% VAT), so it does not make sense to buy a container for 3.5 euro

    I interpret that as $.35 per unit, 500 units minimum right off the bat. Take a step back and look again with fresh eyes, or ask somebody you trust if you don’t trust us.

      I also interpret it like that. But then when i went to pay the $175, they kept chatting with me for over two days (“exact size as stated without customization, right?” yes - “same color?” yes - “same material of description?” yes) to finally say that the price it’s $1750 instead and the initial quote was completely BS, just to take leads. I wouldn’t think that getting leads misleading customers by a factor of ten is a good idea, but if 90% of sellers there do that, maybe is working

        Oh, sorry. I guess that all wasn’t clear from the OP. Sounds like a pain in the ass

          Now i got a “oops I tried to squeeze too much money, let me try again” message that pisses me off even more

          I hate prices that change according to the perspection on how much the client can afford or pay

          I had to read it a few times, I initially made the same mistake as you. It’s all there but I’m not used to carefully reading all the text on a silly post lol
