Maybe you should sell the Tonka truck and buy an iron.

    If she ironed it and cropped the photo and put her legs together she could bump the price to $30.

    Other than the weak photography, this is actually IMO one of the better things in her shop. Most of it is sort of blandly non-awesome (e.g., http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_2&listing_id=30018803 ) — but what’s up with this doll http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_2&listing_id=31471201 ? “An extra idea: This used to be a peeing doll and the tube is still inside. Use a medicine syringe in it’s mouth and it can ‘bleed’.” Do I need a broken menstruating doll?…

    #29 is right – her skills as a seamstress are abysmal. You know, when you completely SUCK at sewing, the solution is not to lower your prices so you’re making about $1.50 an hour. The solution is to NOT SELL until you’re making something that people will pay at least enough for that you’ll make minimum wage for your time.
