The Beauty That Is Style Forum

— Fri, 2nd October 2009 —

We’ve said as much before, but those unaware of Style Forum‘s Buying & Selling Marketplace are seriously missing out. Get over the archaic layout and forum shorthand, and it’s a buyer’s paradise. Really, the products available are current, plentiful, and cheaper by the hour. Some members, like sipang, seem to be running their own little bargain-basement boutiques. So do yourself a favor, and make sure the marketplace is on your radar.
