hahas.. lols.. i last time also a bit scare when wanna buy
things.. but i bought once from the blogshop and it give me good
service and price.. thennow im starting to trust blogshop =D
Yup, I totally agree...the best thing about blogshops are the
prices. Without the need to pay rental, staff and bills, they can
then transfer their savings over to their products so that
consumers like us can enjoy them.
On second thoughts, more often than not, blogshops don't really
offer the range unlike physical magic shops. We are pretty much
limited to buying only products that they import based on their
popularity.
Of course, they do offer us an option to bring in products that
they don't offer but only when a customer orders and will
eventually have to wait slightly more than 2 weeks to a month to
receive them.
Blogshops offer us more by giving us alternatives to where to
get the best things at the best prices.
Besides that, true service can only be experienced at a physical
magic shop.
I patronise both physical and virtual magic shops. Good physical
magic shops have fantastic service and knowledgeable personnel to
advice me in what is most suitable to buy and areas to work on in
order to present an entertaining performance. Also, going to a
magic shop is a magical experience by itself. You are well
surrounded by toys that us grown ups may have long forgotten
to love. Not knowing what new tricks you're going to see, the
sense of awe and of course, the exchange of thoughts and ideas with
other people who share your passion! Blogshops can't offer
that.
But of course, due to the physical attributes that surrounds a
physical shop, prices of products can't be lowered to an extent
similar to those of a blogshop.
Currently there is non in Singapore, but if someone can offer
the perks of a physical shop as well the product prices of a
blogshop, I would consider that the ultimate success.
