    Thank you for the compliment...

    ...but did it have to come with an insult attached?

    Kay. So you should probably start by reading this: http://www.customerssuck.com/board/s...ad.php?t=86961

    Short story, person says they could make a plush like mine for the price of the materials, I restrain "no shit sherlock" reply, and tell them that they're correct, that's what it costs to make one, but I like being paid for my time too, just charging materials cost wouldn't make me any money.

    Same person today responds to a different plush with "Ok i will definitely pay 300 bucks for this! now thats worth it! great job on this!"

    Look, you little nimrod. First, this one costs $400, not $300. It's a good bit bigger than the other one. And second, it IS possible to leave a compliment on one particular piece without insulting every other bloody thing I've made you know. Lots of people manage to do it! Could you please at least TRY to not be a JERK and imply that my other plushes are some kind of rip-off? Just because you happen to like this one a little better doesn't make it worth more!

    Also I didn't realize it at the time, but this is the SAME person as the one who suggested I make dog toys, here: http://www.customerssuck.com/board/s...ad.php?t=87625

    I'm kind of wishing this person would either get a clue or go away at this point. Their comments are starting to get really, really, really annoying.

    Edit: They apologized and said they hadn't at all meant what I had assumed, so it may be that I'm just so used to hearing this kind of nonsense that I'm seeing it where it isn't meant now. :P

    You have an awesome looking gray/red/white dragon on your page, but my computer won't let me view the price list... Is there another link I can use or am I missing?

    Forgive my lack of technological prowess... The fact that I even have a computer and haven't made it explode yet is a source of pride for me...LOL!

      Perhaps take up the fine Olympic sport, loved by so many on this site, of SC-baiting. With a straight face/email, and an armful of facts, reply with a convoluted euphemism for "NO".

          Hmmm. Lemme try PMing you the link. If that doesn't work I can copy-pasta it for you.

              Spark, seriously, just block her. She's not worth the stress. Also, she's a complete nincompoop.

                The white wolf? It's beautiful. You almost expect it to jump up to play any moment. It even has that doggy smile.

                I don't think the price is bad either. It's what I can make in two twelve hour watches as a cabdriver before taxes. I bet it took at least that much time to make it.

                  Very much this; they're only giving you grief over something they reckon they can do harder/better/faster/stronger than you anyway, and they're never going to actually pay your asking price for anything, so screw them!

                    You're a lot nicer than me. I would probably have told her 'be sure to post pictures when you are done' cause you know it will be a piece of excretement.

                      *cough* I uh, did kinda come up with an excuse to ask them for a link to their work. Actually as far as clothing sewing goes they're not half bad, but their fursuits and plushes are not quite up to my standards, shall we say. (I've seen much worse, I'll give them that much credit. But they've got a lot of practice ahead of them before they can actually compete with me.)

                        So... There plushes would make good dog toys?

                          Heh, I bought my dog Bella one of those fox skin looking things, with no stuffing and squeekers and both ends for 5$ and she loves it.. I guess if people want to spend that kinda of money on a dog toy... I don't know how to finish that sentence.

                            Yay for Derpy!

                            Also, as per my edit, the person I was annoyed at has apologized and said that's not what they meant at all. So it's quite possible I'm just so used to this kind of idiocy I'm seeing it where it doesn't exist now. :P
