If consumers weren't willing to pay for that customized product - it wouldn't be selling. <br><br>Jacqueline Oddo<br>President<br>www.taylorsbaby.comTaylors Babyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18017560827933573984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295476677294926871.post-55074889080534010732007-06-02T10:10:41.569-05:002007-06-02T10:10:41.569-05:00Wow, Sarah, seems like someone has their knickers ...Wow, Sarah, seems like someone has their knickers in a knot over your post.

I couldn't believe it at first so i clicked on the link. I read the page to find out the seat cover- which is not to mention, a beautiful custom handmade seat, that is made from high quality fabrics- is only written as $255.00. Jaqueline is right, you shouldn't single out one website for this because I have seen other websites carrying the same item for the same price of $225.00.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295476677294926871.post-49115484299889020312007-06-03T23:17:54.853-05:002007-06-03T23:17:54.853-05:00Jaqueline and anonymous, you both need to calm dow...Jaqueline and anonymous, you both need to calm down and get a sense of humor.
