No shopping veteran would
dream of setting foot through a retailer's door except
in dire circumstances.
The cognoscenti have, in the past,
tended to stick to direct-sales outlets who tailor
keenly priced goods to order, letting you decide there
and then what you fancy. This is still an excellent way
of shopping, but the value part of the equation has now
moved onto the net, where it is, naturally, ibeing
developed further.
If you have the investigative
skills of an MI6 operative, the patience of a priest,
the determination of a big-game hunter and a knack for
haggling, there is a scattering of extraordinary gems
waiting to be bagged. |
