Hurry, pass my glue gun, I have Heartsy orders to fill!

Handy Dandy Glue Gun.....it creates all kinds of crazy shit.

 Another "not REALLY Handmade'' seller on Heartsy  When I sometimes say "Not Really Handmade" I don't always mean it's a wholesale/resell item. I just means there's nothing really handmade about the item[s] and that they're usually overpriced. But this seller is a bit of both...lazy "artist/seller" and reseller.

 [NaturalAmber] is on Heartsy today. She's sold A LOT of items so far too. She has over 1000 sales as of right now and she's not finished her feature yet. I don't think this person is ALL about reselling, but she's certainly not an Artist of  'handmade' items. It takes a lot more than a hot glue gun and cheap wholesale supplies to be a legit artist/creator/seller. If her supplies were expensive I can understand, or if she spent a lot of time on her items. But she doesn't spend the money or time on neither. Her items are cheap as dirt..right down to the glue sticks for her glue gun ;)

Here's her shell/charm bracelet- she is asking $15.00 for it.

Similar bracelet on Alibaba for $2 a piece. I'm not saying this is the item she is selling. I am only showing an example of how cheap this style of bracelet goes for.

Here she is selling a rose/flower bobby pin for $5!

You can also buy them on Alibaba 1200 pieces for $120. If she sold 1200 for $5 she would make $6000! LOL Not bad, huh?!

You can also buy these stupid overrated cabochon bobby pins on eBay 2 for $2.80 including shipping. Now, her hair pins are probably "handmade" but they shouldn't be called handmade; when all you do is buy these  wholesale flowers for .12 a piece or $5 for 40, and  glue them on a flat pad boppy pin.  Oh and the pins are only US $0.01 - 0.131 / a piece 

Here's her cheap fake vintage locket, with a blue cameo glue gunned on to it. You can even see the glue strings on the image (click photo to view full sized image)

So it's either a rush job with a glue gun! or it's a wholesale item, like these and these ($1-$2 each) from eBay, Alibaba. These are already put together. And if she glued gunned it herself, she got the supplies dirt cheap. You can view wholesale cameos similar to these (10 for $2.50), and these (price unknown but cheap)  and similar blank lockets here, and here. (For from .29 cents to $1.80 a piece)

Next

Another cameo necklace of hers. 

Here it is in gold plated (hers is silver plated) on eBay for $8.80 and one JUST like hers for $25..so it's not unique to her.  

Here's a search on eBay with cameo "blanks" for cheap. It will give you an idea of how much these blank settings cost =) Okay enough of cameo stuff. 

Her's her rose/cuff bracelet. 

Like I said. All these "cabochon"  themed fake-ass jewelry are so overly "made" and bought on Etsy now that it's ridiculous. Anyhow you can buy the exact same rose cabochons as used in this bracelet on Alibaba for .1 to .9 cents a piece! And it be honest, I think those flowers (in the photo) look like mini pastel vaginas.

And here's a silver cuff blank on Etsy for $3. Or again on Etsy-2 for $5.50.

 You can get them on Alibaba with a flower or fake gem already on them from $1 to $ 2.30 a piece. So that shows a rough value of this type of bracelet. So with all that being said.. it cost NaturalAmber about $3.10 (if that) to make this, and she's charging $17 for it. I say she spent MAYBE 10 mins on it. REAL jewelry makers take hours, days and sometimes weeks to create real jewelry, and sellers like this really tick me off.

Here's another bracelet of her but with a red flower, and she charging $19 for it!

These earrings are hilarious! I don't feel bad laughing and making fun of the seller because I know she spent no time on them, at all! COME ON Etsy AND Heartsy! Does Heartsy even look the stupid shops before they feature them?

I bet she spent a whole 5 minutes creating this lump of WTF. It's a pair of wholesale earrings for sure! Similar to this  pair (hers look cheaper, and metal-ish) & with one of these  cheap ugly cabochons glued on, and she's charging $15 for them.

Yup, still blabbing.

Here's her flapper girl earrings. 

Here's her description

"These unique flapper girl button earrings are perfect for the gal who is always on the search for unusual but trendy jewelry.'' But here is 5 plus more sellers with the same flapper girl ! here and here, here, here, here and etc..=Unique & UNUsual fail..

Now these clock earrings 

You can also buy them in other shops on the web, here, hereand here and on a wholesale site here and Artfire here, hereand here. WOAH.

Whew..I'm done. Promise! ;)

Today's WTF Listing! Does your fasha like soap?

He will LOVE this, right?! 
Well I've  been on a searching for soap kick lately, and I just came across THIS atrocious piece of blech "soap'' 
People would do just about anything to make a few bucks. I wonder how long it took him to "create" it?! It looks like piece poop manipulated into a shaped soap with the word "dad" written on it with permanent marker. Is it camo? is it something the sellers KID made? I don't get it. And he's selling for full price too! (lol) 

 

Why?
Look at the huge gouge in it! LOL


 View it or buy it HERE..if you really like it.

Weapons/Knives on Etsy

I find it pretty funny that Etsy Admin doesn't allow "call out threads" and resellers, but they condone weapons to be sold on their site! eBay even has a strict knife/weapon rule. Why can't a "peaceful" and happyhappyjoyjoy site like Etsy cannot?


Look at this craziness! There's a lot of sellers selling the mentioned items but here's only a couple of shops I noticed recently. A lot of these items can cause some serious harm! Teenagers can even access Etsy. NOT good, IMO.

First up. MBarkRanch

Up next..Knifexpert

How about a nice bow and arrow?! 

Get one at OldSchoolTools

They also have a SHIT load of knives..

Copycats!

You'll not only see lame resellers and junk pushers on etsy, but you will also see copycats..like these idiots. Soon as a good thing starts to happen for awesome legit artists, there's always someone behind them waiting to copy their great ideas to make a quick buck..from their ideas!
 For example:
Here's buttfreckle, http://buttfreckle.com/ selling cute little pocket monsters aka Buttfreckles that are BOOMING Across etsy. 

http://www.etsy.com/shop/buttfreckle/sold

Now here are the pathetic copycats. WHY Do etsy allow this? I've reported them twice now, and they're still allowed to blatantly copycat!

Ugh! Pisses me off. People are idiots, and need their OWN ideas. These little monsters are too original for so many people to come up with the same design, right? I could be wrong..but I doubt it haha

Most tacky shop I've seen in while and with over 7000 sales?

Not only was she just recently busted for reselling some of her items from a wholesale site. Her store is full of cheap dollar store wooden crap painted over with cheap patina/paints. Let's not even mention how ridiculously overly priced everything is! How in the hell did they ever get over 7000 sales? My 10 year old son can do what they do as long as as we buy the cheap wooden crap for him to print er..burn shit on? It looks like the only half assed creative thing done is painting and distressing frames and such. 

Most of the stuff is made already and she slaps a  poorly wood burned heart with initials on it. So easy!

 People are suckers! what's sadder? Her major target(s) seems to be desperate brides to be, big time gullible already. Brides would do better to shop there themselves. None of her stuff should be allowed on etsy, let alone be allowed to over charge people for wooden-poop.

Here's just a couple (of many) items that are horribly "slapped" together.

This was actually featured in some wedding magazine! look how sloppy the printing/etching is! 

$30! actual value I would say $5.

Crap on a hanger

Forget the rice! throw some $20 SAW DUST at the newly married couple!

Saw dust in mason jars

$60 moss WTF!

 $3 worth of that moss, tied with $1 worth of ribbon and pay $73 once shipping is included. At least they did *something* to alter it. I just wish people who bought this stuff knew how badly they were getting hosed.

Look how nasty the "antiqued" look is applied!

Painted by a child?!

I can sit here all day to critque this idiot's "work" but I need to sleep SOME TIME tonight! lol  One last repulsive cheap item! there one is her most expensive item in her shop. *puke*

I saw this exact "treasure box" at Dollarama (dollar store in Canada) for $8.50! 

Caca Box for $99!

Well that's it for now..hopefully with all the reports people from other 'Call Out' sites grab the attention of the admin. Because this crap is down right highway robbery!!
