Yet another jewelry reseller: handmadebybluebird (Reader submitted)

This post is from a reader who is a jewelry designer. A real jewelry designer! they exist ;)

handmadebybluebird is a dirty seller. Even her shop name is lie! She has a few legit hand made items but has just as many wholesale items. I guess by calling her designs famous people names it's okay to claim them handmade. -Denise.

Reseller- GlazedBlackCherry PART 2

This is the 2nd part of my report on seller GlazedBlackCherry. She is VERY ridiculous, and in MY opinion a very dishonest skuzz ball. I reported her twice now with links and she is still on there..selling away. Long story short: She is a big time reseller, she loves price inflation & is a ~~unique~~ glue gun crafter (blech)

The other post (part 1) is [HERE]
This post is photo heavy, but are shrunk down to fit the page. Click photos for larger view. Links are in ORANGE :)

Here's her Pocket Watches...that she claims as handmade. They are NOT handmade in the least! NONE of them are. But.. I am only posting a few, since there's so many.

GBC could probably claim 'handmade' if she put them on a chain herself.. but they come that way [wholesale.] AND if you search Etsy, you will find TONS of other sellers selling the exact same items below as well. Most of those resellers charge close to wholesale price though. So it's not AS bad, but it's still reselling.

First watch is a Owl pocket watch. Asking price is $19

Same watch on eBay for .01 cents
Same watch (again) on eBay for $3
Same watch on Alibaba for only $6 a piece (or less if you buy more than 10)
