Ya people are forever jumping on a popular design! Just walk through any target or Kmart and you'll see a thousand knockoffs! Imitation is a form of flattery, but carbon copying is another thing if you ask me... its just underhanded and deceitful.
And speaking of deceit... The idea that you hand made a design then had it mass-produced so you could sell it to all of your friends here on Yorkie Talk under the guise of "look what I am working on now for your babies!" This particular vendors items are no more lovingly made than the socks your wearing on your feet. And at those overseas prices how many of you had really convinced yourselves otherwise??
I don't like being lied to or made a fool of as a customer. I remember many posts where it was asked if this person had hand made these items and the questions were side stepped or simply left unanswered.... Miss a chance to bump a thread? that is totally out of character for a vendor
I could go on and on and on and on... but you get my point.
At least when I buy from the hand full of vendors that I do, I can look at the items and know that the designs are orignal and lovingly labored over. I'll gladly pay a premium for that... not that I do 80% of the time.. I fine the "good" guys to be pretty comparable in the end.
