Cheapskate Celebrity

One of the convenient advantages of having an automated network is online shopping. Without having to brave the traffic to go to an actual physical store, customers can merely spend hours surfing sites and choosing the products they like. These days, selling online has become a lucrative business as long as one is also familiar with the market. Although online selling comprises thousands of sellers, some are familiar with each other and even share the same experiences.

One of the stories shared among online sellers is their common experience with Miser Celebrity (MC). Thus, when they get a message from MC, they know what the next move will be. Apparently, MC loves to go shopping online and when she finds an item she likes, she can be very upfront. If prices are not indicated in posts, inquiring customers are sent private messages in reply to their query about such matters. In the case of MC, her inquiries are not about the price of the item of her interest, rather, she makes a request that often leaves sellers puzzled.

Although MC is not seen on TV lately, she does have a career and a stable background. In other words, even without a regular show, MC will not be hungry, as her family can very well spend for her needs. Thus, online sellers initially get shocked when MC tells them directly that she wants a particular item from their product list. There is no offer to pay, as what MC wants, she wants to get free. While other celebrities would offer an ex-deal for a product, MC does not even present such proposal. She merely asks the seller to give the item to her. Out of embarrassment, online sellers sometimes give in to MC. Others think of the possibility that MC might use her social media following if they do not adhere to her wish.

However, for people who are familiar with MC, such attitude is not surprising at all. Even from her endorsements, MC can ask for something that seems to be beyond the scope of her deal. For example, if she has to grace an event of the endorser, she will say that she has nothing to wear. The company gives in to the hint and sends her something to wear. Thus, MC has a reputation for asking stuff and not bothering to pay. This attitude is far from the caring image she projects in her appearances.

‘It's way too easy to see the real face of a person. They're amiable and full of pretense when they want something from you, but the minute you don't give in, back away or put yourself first (like they do) is the minute they show you who they really are.’ ― Donna Lynn Hope
