SUNKEN CITY SKATES RIP OFF, CON ARTISTS, SCAMMERS, SAN PEDRO California

Sunken City is a skater run store. It is a small store that does not benefit from the volume discounts of major stores.
Some of the major stores also sell products at a cheaper rate because they may be last years items.
As a mother of 4, the kids want the current years products. The owners of Sunken City did not move to get away from people complaining. San Pedro is a small town, their new location is not that far away.
They moved primarily because of a neighboring business who does not like skaters around the location.
Sunken City has a skate ramp which provides a safe haven for the kids to hang out.

I was googling Sunken City and came across this report on the first page. This guy's complaints are absurd. He claims that Sunken City's charging $10-$15 more for shoes than "competitors" is evidence of a rip off. To back this claim, he cites "Zappos.com" a mail-order shoe company. Everyone knows you can get cheaper prices on products by ordering them from on-line super stores or shopping at Wal-Mart. Big surprise. Sunken City Skates is a small, neighborhood store, the type of which helps support skateboarding. Small stores are limited in how much they can order, therefore don't get the giant volume discounts of the on-line places, or even the big chains like Active.

A town like San Pedro knows the value of local merchants and independent businesses. Sunken City supports the local skatepark, has knowledgeable staff made up of real skateboarders and even has a halfpipe on premises - try getting that from Zappos.com.

Unless you have evidence that the shoes were sold at a price higher than what they were marked at, your complaint is completely without merit.
