Of course, I am only an “itty bitty” blogger and have not the reputation nor recognition that someone of your caliber, dear Salome, would have. But it seems to me that there are sometimes pitiful few designers that see fashion bloggers as part of the “SL Fashion Press”. I have run into many that seem to see us as nothing more than a nuisance, let alone make any exceptions to their rules. I have often been quite disappointed in the way creators look at and treat bloggers, not that this was the case here. It is just that I am not sure that even IF she had taken the time to read your profile that it would have made any difference.
I used to work for surgeons in RL. We saw “the God Complex” all the time. I cannot help but see many similarities in the way SOME creators treat those “beneath them”. Thank God for the majority of the down-to-earth, level headed, NICE creators that are most prevalent in SL! I don’t know what we will do if the others ever take over.

Just my own opinion and observance….

I once had a home owner contact me after a similar double-teleport (the second for the same reason you did – to make sure it wasn’t an SL error). I was going through old landmarks and landed on an ex-store turned home. He contacts me several hours later asking if he could help me, and I was hugely confused because I’d forgotten it happened.

And I agree on not putting LE event things up for regular sale; so few people can hit events, I’ve always thought it a little silly to do one-day oneoffs and the like.

And the whole incident was caused at it’s core by designer being clueless:

1. Creating an item for an event, and when one discovers that said item is still desirable, not offering to sell it right then an d there and immediately putting it back in the shop. When someone is offering to give you L$ for a product, take it. Of course an item expressly stated to be a LE in number is a different story.

2. Not immediately checking a profile. You can learn a lot from profiles, like discovering someone looking for something is part of the SL fashion press, i.e. a blogger. And that it might be a good idea to sell said item to said blogger even if one says “don’t tell anyone I did this”

3. Having a badly designed store.
