Getting Back What You Paid For

Now, I know that this article might rub some the wrong way. It isn't meant to be, just consider it an FYI. It's a common understanding that you get what you paid for, right?

I purchased a strand of pearls from online, nothing fancy but the pictures were very seductive. Alright, yes, I should have been more careful but I didn't know any better. But the deal seemed so good that I thought to myself, it should be an easy and quick buy for a simple project. I was so ecstatic and looking forward to their arrival. So, did I get what I paid for? Well, YES! Disappointment and an inconvenience. The pearl weren't what I paid for, I felt ripped off and the seller wasn't responsive.

I am a big peach fan, especially yellow peaches. Big juicy and fresh! Mmmm.... Well, I went to a well trusted store, big name, who advertised for quality and charged big bucks. You know the kind. It wasn't the big name that I went for, just the peaches. I bought a few with hopes to cash in every juicy bit. I patiently waited for a few days to give them time to ripen. When the time came I smelt it, cleaned it, and cut into it with anticipation only to be disenchanted by pithy and mealy interiors.

You know what I mean and some of you can freshly recall what it felt like to be dissappointed, to be miss lead, to not get what you bought into. When it comes to hiring a real agent to represent our interests why be a scouge, be lead by fair promises, rely too much on the packaging, or cut a few sales person off because we wanted a great deal? The façade can harbor a rotten core and the wrong choices can lead to shady results. In the end we get what we paid for and the outcome of our choices, whatever they may be, are ours.
