| Ha anyone ordered these? I was thinking of buying one of these sweaters, she posted on here a while back. Has anyone else bought one from her? They are really beautiful in the pictures, just wondering if anyone had any feedback. If so i would love to see pictures. http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZ64dutchessQQhtZ-1

| No, I've never ordered one, but they are so lovely! Shipping is a bit high, but the price on the sweater is VERY reasonable at $9.99 !!!

| Those sweaters are beautiful and look like they are worth much more than she is getting for them.I think alot of ebayers charge more shipping to avoid the higher percentage charge. Is the shipping charge included in the final price when ebay calculated their fees? |

| I tried one on Chloe, way to short for her body lenght but pretty. I do not like her dresses, or coats short, I like them to within an inch of less of her tail

| hi all, I am the lady that makes the sweaters First I wanted to thank you all for the wonderfull remarks posted on my work. Grayson's mom was kind enough to send me the link to this discussion, so i could answer a few questions. soneil--The only yorkietalk member i have sold a sweater to is graysons mom but she has not received it yet...you had wanted some feedback on the sweaters, but for now, i am only able to show you the positive reviews i have received by my ebay feedback remarks...here isthe link. http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAP...rid=64dutchess chachi--I have made several special orders for interested parties--they were mostly larger sizes. As of now i am only making them one size bigger--up to 12/13 inches. So far all of the larger sized sweaters have required a second skein of yarn, and therefore the larger sweaters sold at $30-$35 including the shipping Kriston--The high shipping. I originally had listed the sweaters at $14.99 with a five dollar ship fee however...The listing and final value fee --not to mention the paypal fee wich e bay also owns--and my shipping cost left me with about a seven dollar profit (I do not use cheap yarns in these sweaters and also have to purchase the lace ribbon and clasps on top of it.) I don't have a tax license so i pay retail prices. A buyer whom i did a special order for, pointed out by setting the start fee lower-my list fee would go down setting a higher ship--e-bay cannot charge on ship fees. As it is, the sweaters start out at $19.99 and it includes the shipping fee. My goal was to make high end looking--cosmopolitan style-- sweaters at reasonable prices. Shadow, thanks for the great compliment. You are not the first person that has said that they are way to cheap at $20.00. When i first started making them, i was told to try e bay since they would go for big bucks...well that hasn't happened...yet!..lol! My sister in law went to Chicago last month and saw sweaters in just the fancy yarns--no ribbon, no clasp-no style..just a tube sock go for $57.00 in a high end pet store. I contacted the buyer and she said she would pay $15.00 each....sorry! I have checked the internet under boutique dog apparel, and handmade dog sweaters, I could personally never afford those kind of prices for what is beeing asked for a personal fitted sweaters. I started making these sweaters just for fun for my Katie....the selling part has actually been quite disappointing lol! I thought $20.00 for the sweaters was a steal! Oh well. Between e bay, and craft shows, I have managed to spread myself way to thin...(I have lupus and tire extremely easy). I am taking a break from sweaters on e bay since 1--- I need the break, and 2---I was doing an awfull lot of work for about $7.-$8 dollars a sweater. I would be more then happy to make some sweaters for the yorkietalk members, but i just cannot sell them any cheaper then $20.00 and I can only do a couple of orders at a time. I wanted to thank everyone for the fantastic comments on my sweaters, and hopefully soon, I will have a little more time to browse and familiarize myself with the other yorkie lovers...AND learn how to post a pic in here...lol! I tried everything from pasting the url and the http codes in the post....even tried adding <src img....etc Have a great day/night all |

| Thanks so much for answering our questions. I didn't know much on how ebay worked, so just wondered why the shipping was so high and the price of the sweater wasn't. Now I understand, I think $20.00 is definately a reasonable price. You are right the high end boutiques sell them for triple that. I know a lady that has a very nice high end boutique 45 minutes from me, if you are interested I will give her your email the next time I am at her shop. She may be interested in purchasing some from you, that is if you are interested. You have so many wonderful colors that I seen on your listing I wouldn't know which to choose. Do you happen to have a picture of all of the colors of yarns you use? I guess htat is why I haven't ordered one yet, I can't make my mind up which one I like the best, and thinking you may have some color options I haven't even seen, well I wish I could see them all. I want one in every shade! I wish I could. Any how when I decide do I just email you the sizes and which color? If you have pics of as many colors you have available you can pm me and I'll give you my email, or post here if you can. Thanks again.

| I don't think she is going to offer them on Ebay for a while, she said she needs a break. If you email her she can make what you ask for though.
