When People Don't Listen

One of the reasons my guide is better than many others out there is because it's not hit and run. I don't just find some companies throw up a list and take your money, I answer your questions. But I get so tired of people asking me questions that are covered in detail in my guide.

Let me change that, it's not just any questions, it's the constant question from someone looking for "the source" for Vuitton, Prada or whatever. Sometimes I want to ignore these emails but I don't want people to think I am rude. But if someone is promising you the hookup with a wholesaler of Vuitton, it's not happening and I think from now on, when people ask me, I'm just going to stop explaining.

None of the high end designers have a "wholesaler". They sell direct or through their showroom. I wish people would listen to me when I tell them that. I cover it in the guide and in this blog (read the archives). But sometimes I want to tell them to buy from the "wholesaler" and just throw their money away because they only want to hear what they want to hear.

If this is what you are going to do for money, educate yourself and learn how the industry works. It will save you a lot of stress, and a lot of money.
