Shopster Hires Trained Monkeys...Some Not So Trained

Shopster is hiring. One catch; You must be a trained monkey. That explains how Sheldon Cooke got his job. The brain of a monkey is the size of a peanut. This must be why they can't understand why they scratch their heads when I tell them they rip off consumers.

Here is what Shopster does: They use PRICE in order to suck you in. They claim in ad banners, “Over 700,000 products at Wholesale prices!” Now, the defenition of wholesale is “Competitive market value offered by wholesaler.” I can absolutely prove price gouging by Shopster in a court of law.

138 products were found by me at 3 retail stores. Wal-mart, Best Buy and Circuit City. These products were sold in these retail establishments at retail price. Shopster had products in their warehouse at a much higher price than the retail price. The retail price was the competitive market value offered by the retailer. Therefore, Shopster's wholesale price for the 138 products could not have been the competitive market value for wholesale.

If Shopster buys a pair of earrings at the low price of $1.35 from their supplier and marks up the price to $10.09 WHOLESALE and the consumer can go to their local Wal-mart and purchase the same item at $3.88 RETAIL then Shopster does NOT offer their members over 700,000 products wholesale. This is clearly price gouging.

The BBB in an email to me is going to challenge the term used by Shopster “Unlimited profits” because Shopster uses this as an advertising marketing ploy just to prey on people like me with little web building experience to join and eventually fail. Shopster uses PRICE in order to get you into their bear claws, once you're in, Shopster convienently switches out the word PRICE with the new word CONTENT. It's no longer “Wholesale”, it's now “It's not all about price.” Yet, it was all about price when they advertised about price on their ad banners. This is why I say Shopster is misleading and deceptive.

Shopster's responce: Ooh ooh, ahh ahh!
