Ok so I was on a shave soap adventure and saw a store that sells our beloved col conk soaps. I went in to see the prices and they were selling them for $20 bucks! I asked the guy why so much when you can get them online for 4 bucks and he yelled at me to get out! Needless to say that store won't have my business no more.
Yeah that sounds very ridiculous and shady. For him to basically yell at you to get out was just plain disrespectful! I'd tell all your friends about the awful service and to not shop there. Wet shaving is such a niche market and for him to refuse a potential customer is ludicrous. I'm assuming most of the items on the shelves were covered in dust.
Yes, that is too much to pay for Conk. Not unlike the $5.00 asking price I saw the other day for Williams Mug Soap! Which is a fine soap, but you can find Williams out there for under a buck in certain locales... Along that line, I was at Bath and Body Works yesterday. They want $5.00 for a 1.7oz tube of C.O. Bigalow SC....but then online you can get a 5oz tube for $10.00....so the BBW price seems a little high when compared to the cost per ounce. But then again, (and not in defense of the pricing,) brick and mortar stores do have a huge overhead to deal with.
Yeah it wa rude but oh well. It's not a pure shave shop tho, it was a cigar store with a wet shaving display. Maybe he was mad that I didn't wanna buy his cigars?
hmmmmm... Inexcusable. I hear a dozen eggs goes for less than two bucks though... depending on the target it may be worth the investment to not even derive caloric energy or nutrients if one were to... ::angelic004
Speaking of Williams. I saw a puck of it for sale at metro(one of the grocery stores here) for 3 bucks. I should have bought that instead of walking into that cigar store
:rolleyes005 No matter how tempting it may be. Still, I've seen folks pay $20.00 for a puck of antique vintage soap before. Which is what that Conk will be by the time he sells it at that price.
Haha it's ok I got to look and actually smell what the other conks are like and I have to admit they all smell really awesome!
3 dollars for a puck of williams!? 5 for a conk!? Man what corner of the world do you live in, does everything have to be flown in like Barrow Alaska or something?:happy102
Thats funny I wonder if there was any customers in the shop that could hear your question. I doesn't matter how much he was asking for the soap its his shop. internet and retail are not the same just like walmart and mom and pop shops.
This is very true. I don't want to make it seem like I wad rude I just mearly asked why so expensive and then he blew up.
Oh well what can I say he missed my business and I went on to buy the trufitt and hill soaps that day and my trumpers. Two soaps I'm very happy with. I still need that tobs tho for that three T threesome.
