I Won’t Throw Up
- Submitted by XXXLittWear
The idea that this woman sat at her kitchen table, night after night, hand drawing thousands of frames and painting them, and filming them, then making two entirely handmade DVDs by hammering thin sheets of plastic and coating them with silvered metal, and then hand etching both discs with an exacto blade . . . well, I just think this is the kind of shit we should be supporting.
BUY HANDMADE
February 24, 2010 at 12:05 pm
what the hell? she at least coulda added some glitter or “fairy dust” on it to make it more whimsicle
(btw, i will resist the urge to report this right away so we can all enjoy it for a while)
February 24, 2010 at 12:05 pm
Say what?
February 24, 2010 at 12:06 pm
odourless home? what is she a fucking fish?
February 24, 2010 at 12:07 pm
The least you could have done is knit a cozy for it, NebraskaKnitter.
February 24, 2010 at 12:07 pm
But she opened it with her hands.
February 24, 2010 at 12:07 pm
I don’t have a DVD player. I’m going to ask her to make me one of those, too.
February 24, 2010 at 12:08 pm
Really impressive and such a great price! If I had done all that hard work, I would have charged at least $22, no, make that $25.
February 24, 2010 at 12:08 pm
I hate when my handmade dvds come from odorless homes.
February 24, 2010 at 12:09 pm
Captain Hook is better at handmade.
February 24, 2010 at 12:09 pm
I reported it. I’m tired of people treating Etsy like it’s Craigslist.
February 24, 2010 at 12:11 pm
BUT…… does she have pets and do any of them smoke.
February 24, 2010 at 12:12 pm
Great , Etsy is the new Walmart.
February 24, 2010 at 12:14 pm
HOLY SHIT- METAL? I don’t have any DVD’s made with metal- or cases.
February 24, 2010 at 12:15 pm
GUESS WHAT WE FOUND OUR MISSING COPY!
February 24, 2010 at 12:15 pm
Peter got panned.
At least no one put their dick in it.
February 24, 2010 at 12:16 pm
I reported it, too., and even took it a step further and sent her a convo telling her this doesn’t belong on Etsy.
I wanted to reach through my monitor and send her a nice handknit bitchslap. But I held back.
*insert The More You Know pixie dust jingle*
February 24, 2010 at 12:16 pm
Opening it up and sticking in a pirated disk is kinda handmade don’t yah think?
February 24, 2010 at 12:17 pm
I see nothing in her shop that’s handmade or designed by her. This is nothing more than an online garage sale. Or more likely she bought everything from the local Ben Franklin that’s closing the doors.
February 24, 2010 at 12:17 pm
maybe *if* she had the actual original film reel used from years ago, but this isn’t even vintage…on amazon, found this-
DVD Release Date: March 6, 2007
February 24, 2010 at 12:17 pm
@RCB, and Capt. Hook would be all over the DVD piracy thing.
February 24, 2010 at 12:18 pm
Hey … I think we missed it. She actually knitted this thing. The versimilitude has me breathless with admiration. Imagine all this detailed work for a mere $18.50! On the other hand she sells a lot of patterns …. maybe we get the pattern and have to make it ourselves.
February 24, 2010 at 12:18 pm
lmfao…this dvd is in her section labeled, “this and that”
February 24, 2010 at 12:19 pm
WAT
February 24, 2010 at 12:19 pm
When I saw this thumbnailed on my Facebook feed I thought someone made something to look like the Peter Pan DVD cover. I thought that was just plain stupid. But the reality is much worse. What part of vintage or handmade does this person not understand? Are they trying maybe to say its craft supplies? You can make big honkin’ earrings with those disks…

I reported it too. What’s next, used car listings on Etsy?
February 24, 2010 at 12:31 pm
I have 2 children and my Husband has three. The third being me (I’ll admit it..I am not ashamed) Anyhoo, we have NEVER with the 400+ DVD’s and over 100 video games, ever went and bought a new one due to not being able to find the one we had.
I think you would have to be dirty and have a hoarded home if you loose stuff and just go buy another.
BUT… it’s as Helen put in under bullshit.As in that is not the real story or they are really dirty or this is a fake. You can copy the cover as…
February 24, 2010 at 12:32 pm
You know, I think the worst part about this is that it’s not even the original vhs. It can’t even claim to be vintage. Note to seller: Etsy and Ebay are not the same sites, I know it gets confusing, what with both starting with E and end in Y.
February 24, 2010 at 12:32 pm
Is it time to bitch about things Etsy fails to remove? ‘Cuz I’ve been reporting these two items repeatedly for months.
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=33135866
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24194206
Both are advertised as first editions of To Kill a Mockingbird, yet both sellers include photos showing the copyright page that SHOWS they aren’t! It’s vintage fraud, and badly done, and Etsy still hasn’t taken them down.
(I’m a book dealer, so it…

February 24, 2010 at 12:37 pm
Bwa ha ha ha! I flagged it, then made a forum thread about it, which Jefe promptly shut down, and finally… Submitted it to Regretsy!! Man, I’m such an asshole!
February 24, 2010 at 12:40 pm
We have over 650 DVDs. I’m in one of those DVD clubs, so sometimes, the spouse forgets that I ordered one & will buy it at the store (so far, twice). & of course, I don’t know he’s done that till I open the one in the mail.
We did this with “Monsters vs Aliens”… & you know what we did with our extra copy?
We gave it fucking away. That’s right. I asked someone I know if they had it yet. They offered to pay for it, I told them not to bother.
THAT’S how you deal with these…

Thanks Helen for making the credit a link!! Too awesome!
February 24, 2010 at 12:45 pm
Looks like Etsy has been shamed into removing the item…
Incidentally, as to the first editions I linked above, here’s what they’re SUPPOSED to look like:
http://collect2sell.wordpress.com/2007/03/20/identify-a-true-1st-edition-%E2%80%9Cto-kill-a-mockingbird%E2%80%9D/
To Kill a Mokcingbird is EASY to ID the first because it SAYS it right on the front page. Not “24th printing” like the ones linked above advertised as first editions.
ARGH.

FYI, I will be having a moving sale next month on Etsy. I just want to give you guys a heads up so you don’t report my items. I’ll have handmade IKEA bookcases, vintage Crate and Barrel dishes and glassware, OOAK Target sheets, and a gently used pet-free odorless litterbox.

@#53 Foamy: We’ll have to work out a fair price. It’s a first edition.
February 24, 2010 at 1:20 pm
@#46 fenrislorsrai – With the little knowledge I have about books, I would think that if it has a Pulitzer Prize” sticker on it, it can’t possibly be a first edition. How would the publisher know it was going to win the PP? I reported both. As a book-lover, I find it absurd someone would try to sell these for $300 each.
February 24, 2010 at 1:21 pm

“Smoke-free and odorless home”…
My home is smoke-free, but I have four dogs and four cats. Anything you bring into my house automatically gets pet hair on it, even if you just step in for a moment.
My parents’ home is smoke-free, but it smells like old people.
Nobody lives in an odorless home. Except maybe Howard Hughes…

@ #57 Efit
Exactly, that should have been the dead giveaway that it wasn’t a first edition. You’d think the 24th printing inside would also be a clue, but apparently not.
The frustrating part is one of those sellers already sold one like it before: http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=23994481
It was around $300 when I saw it and reported it. But it sold to someone
February 24, 2010 at 2:55 pm

its off Etsy now .. thanks to this site :
they are only a few people in an art studio in New York … can’t catch everything all the time (thats why they have a report button and why this site is so awesome)
February 24, 2010 at 3:25 pm
Thing is, a lot of the time we can go around flagging our asses off, and nothing gets done.
What else is sad are all the crafters/artists out there in Etsyland who can’t come up with thier own designs and start producing knock off Disney, Hello Kitty, and other products. Not to mention all the knock off celebrity merch ie; Lady Gaga, Marilyn Monroe, Audry Hepburn…
Thing is, Etsy’s policy is to not do anything until the owner of the copyright sends a cease and desist order…
February 24, 2010 at 3:31 pm
Check out thier copyright policy, it’s a load of bullshit! These big companies aren’t going to waste the money for the legal fees to get Etsy to remove the offending items. http://www.etsy.com/copyright_policy.php
If you want to help get the knock-off crap off of Etsy, send a few of the big companies emails, or letters with links to some of the unlicensed merchandise on Etsy. It may sound pointless, but the few who speak do so on behalf of countless others who wont!
February 24, 2010 at 4:16 pm
Etsy needs to get its priorities right.
1. Get rid of resellers
2. Dont allow buyers to leave feedback until they pay.

In order for someone to buy this, someone would have had to search for it on etsy. How did the seller believe that this would go unnoticed? Etsy is such a cool idea, but this really lessens that for me.

I sent her a convo suggesting she move over to ebay, this is the response I got:
Thanks for your input. You should do a DVD movie search of all items and you will come up with over a hundred of actual DVDs. I did, that’s why I listed mine. Blessings, Kathie, NebraskaKnitter
the funny thing is, i took her advice and looked.
most of the items that came up were instructional dvd, that were at least applicable to the handmade essence of etsy.

#108- I don’t care if everything else in her shop is dipped in gold, who wants to support someone who lists such shit?
Speaking of shit, can we please ignore hidden due to douchey-ness? It’s like someone stepped out of an aol chatroom circa 1995 looking for attention. This is my last statement on this cretin.
February 24, 2010 at 8:29 pm
#114- perfect example of why Etsy admins need to pull their heads out of their asses and crack down on this garbage. “Everyone else is doing it, and no one seems to care about the whole point of Etsy anymore, so fuck the TOU.” Great.

#114 There’s only one solution to that response, and that is for all of us to seek out all the offending DVD’s and report them.
February 24, 2010 at 8:41 pm
#118- Wasn’t it the most passive-aggro “blessings” ever or what. As far as etsy, it’s depressing. I had a few days where I thought about switching to BigCartel or Dawanda or something, but I decided to just let my shop speak for itself and sit it out awhile longer. I know that listings like these make money but even from a purely capitalist, bottom-line perspective, Etsy is going to suffer in the long run if their reputation tanks.
February 24, 2010 at 8:41 pm
I sent her another message saying:
Just because other etsy sellers are violating the TOU, she could too?
response:
There’s Eagle DVDs, WWII DVDs, New Orleans DVDs, Horror DVDs, Kids movies DVDs, and lots more. That’s the ONLY reason I listed my movie, since I found so many DVD movies, I thought it was okay to list them. Blessings, Kathie
sigh…………..
February 24, 2010 at 8:43 pm
This shit pisses me off. When I first joined Etsy it was for artists and artisans, before they allowed vintage stuff and supplies…and the fact that they allowed vintage stuff is the reason, I think, that people take advantage of the site and post shit like this or sale, because they think that they can sell these kinds of things just by slapping the word “vintage” somewhere in the title or description.
*sigh*

February 24, 2010 at 8:59 pm
#22: She’s just not getting it. It’s not enough that DVD’s exist on Etsy. You have to look at *what’s ON* those DVD’s. Home-burned historical photographs, art or craft tutorials, royalty free stock pics, someone with handsewn baby wraps which include DVD’s on how to use those wraps. Stuff like that. Unless Peter Pan is going to give a tutorial on poaching green-dressed faeries and smothering them in tiny bottles, her DVD is not Etsy.
February 24, 2010 at 8:59 pm
I wonder if she knows she’s featured on Regretsy?
February 24, 2010 at 9:04 pm
Now if it’s a VHS tape…then I’d say it was Vintage! if this sells…I got a big box of vintage blu-ray discs!
