ShangBy.com's Live Online Shopping Has Consumers Negotiating in Shanghai's Markets, from Home
AUSTIN, Texas (Business Wire EON) April 9, 2008 -- According to Steve Bell, CEO and founder, "ShangBy.com is all about bringing the Asia retail experience to Americans - to make shopping ShangBy online almost like shopping Shanghai live - except we guarantee everything and you don't have to take your shoes off to go through security."
One recent customer experience demonstrates the unique value of live online shopping in Shanghai. Susan Baker Outslay called into a live web cast and worked with the retailer and ShangBy host to design a necklace similar to one she had seen on "Sex And The City". She negotiated the cost to $105, purchased it through ShangBy's website and then had it appraised. The appraised value came back at $700.

All live web casts during the week of April 13th start at 9pm CDT on www.ShangBy.com. Viewers participate and interactively shop by dialing 1-877-Pearl51, a toll-free phone number where ShangBy's support will greet you before transferring the call over to the Shanghai retailers.

All items negotiated are available to purchase online, with additional costs such as international shipping and customs service fees.
