So, it's no secret there are a lot of mixed feelings when it comes to Callie's Picks. Those who have been on stardoll for years, collecting and saving rare fashions feel as though the value of their items are decreasing. And in a way they are right. Those who are new to stardoll or where never able to purchase stardollars are happy for the second chance to buy items without paying the ridiculous price of 600sd in the Bazaar when they are lucky enough to even find them. We can safely say there are definitely some pro's and cons.
The Bad News.
Yes. Callie's picks does decrease the value of "real-brand" items, and this store isn't exactly known for saving you money. It's still mostly, if not all, Stardollar items and they are usually around their original price. People who are newer to Stardoll, and non SS members are more like to buy from this store, meaning you can forget about trying to sell them the original for it's up-valued price.
The Good News.
Yes there is good news! So sit down. A lot of fashion items go "missing", when accounts are deleted or when Items are sold to non SS who can't sell them back. Callie's Picks gives those items a way to be reborn. If you are like me and can't always afford the older items you want in the starbazaar, then this is a like a second chance window opportunity. Even Though the item doesn't have it's original name brand tag it looks the same, fits the same, and does the same thing. (if it looks like a duck...)
If you think about it, it doesn't really effect us too much. Before Callie's Picks there was Archive. In real life there are plenty of stores that provide cheaper more inexpensive versions of our favorite high end fashion items. We can't all afford to dress like Kardashian's but we like to look like them.
As far as Callie's Picks Decor... let's just say I was the most excited about this! I love being able to buy the items I never thought to buy before. I just wish these were updated more often (I believe the Christmas themed one is still up and it's February). I also hope to see more LE decor items. Fingers crossed.
