OVERPRICED, MANIPULATIVE TACTIS, AND BROKEN PROMISES. BE CAUTIOUS!!!!!
Traditional Art Gallery的点评
点评:CAUTION! OVER PRICED. NOTHING HAS AN ESTABLISHED PRICE. YOU CAN BARGAIN ANYTHING. ALWAYS BARGAIN FOR AT LEAST 60-70% LESS THAN THEIR FIRST OFFER.
I visited Traditional Art Gallery in Tangier during a short day trip. The store is large and appears reputable, but my experience left a bad taste. I was sold a sterling silver bracelet for over 3,200 MAD ($300 USD) under the promise that I would receive a certificate of authenticity. That certificate was never provided, despite the staff insisting it would be.
When I returned to request the certificate or a refund, the staff deflected responsibility and claims they couldn't provide one because the bracelet was handmade by "poor Berber girls in rural communities" who don't work with grams or documentation. They even showed me photos to try to guilt me into accepting this --- a clear manipulation tactic designed to dissuade any complaints or accountability.
Fortunately, I stood my ground and eventually got a refund, but it required a lot of pressure and persistence. Most tourists wouldn't return or push back, and I can see how many end up overpaying for items that are worth a fraction of the price.
IF YOU CHOOSE TO SHOP HERE, BE VERY CAUTIONS, ASK DIRECT QUESTIONS, AND DO NOT PAY UNTIL YOU RECEIVE EVERYTHING PROMISED.

我曾在丹吉尔的一家传统艺术画廊短暂一日游。这家店很大,看起来信誉不错,但我的体验却很糟糕。他们以超过3200迪拉姆(300美元)的价格卖给我一条纯银手镯,并承诺会提供真品证书。尽管店员坚持说会提供,但证书从未提供。
当我回来要求证书或退款时,店员推卸责任,声称他们无法提供证书,因为这条手镯是由“农村贫困的柏柏尔女孩”手工制作的,她们不做珠宝鉴定或文件工作。他们甚至给我看照片,试图让我感到内疚,从而接受这种行为——这显然是他们为了阻止我投诉或追究责任而采取的操纵手段。
幸运的是,我坚持了立场,最终获得了退款,但这需要很大的压力和坚持。大多数游客不会再来或反悔,我可以看到很多人最终为实际价值远低于原价的商品多付了钱。
如果您选择在这里购物,请务必谨慎,直接提问,并且在收到所有承诺的商品之前不要付款。
