    The only thing I can see is that Wantthelook and Mycitydeals are both registered in Germany.

    I've checked the details and they are not owned by the same people, however that is not to say that they are not somehow connected.

    I did notice that one has the same accountant as my ex ... He is now bankrupt! ;)
    Gone ... or have I?

    MyCityDeal is backed by two key investors, Germany's Holtzbrinck Ventures and the Samwer Brother's Rocket Internet.

    MSEMartin posted on the sunglasses-shop thread yesterday

    "1. The price was increased on some some glasses - this is out of order in my view
    2. My City Deals contract states companies cant do this ..."

    Should apply to Wantthelook as well

    Today wantthelook have brought their prices down a little - the active moist mentioned earlier in this blog is now £22.02 not the £24.61 that it was yesterday.

    The question is do I ask MyCityDeal to refund the £4 or do I reluctantly give Wanthelook my business??
