Love the exponential increases in price. Mo’ money, mo’ righteous.

“using the Alchemy page to disgrace other…”
Ah dang, I don’t even give enough of a shit to come up with a witty comment.
July 1, 2010 at 1:35 pm
Oh, gotta love Alchemy.
It was really only a matter of time before something like this happened. It is etsy, after all.
July 1, 2010 at 1:35 pm
Here’s a dime. Call someone who gives a shit.

Now that world peace has been accomplished, cancer has been cured and the starving have been fed, let’s concentrate on the pressing issue of copyright infringement on a fucking totebag!
July 1, 2010 at 1:39 pm
Damn, I wish I could see what the $100,000 request would have been!
July 1, 2010 at 1:46 pm
i’ll take panties in a knot for $2,000.00, alex.

Travel bag for my crotcheting

Etsy Alchemy requests: where the worlds of Viagra and crocheting collide
July 1, 2010 at 1:50 pm
I’d like a nice stiff bag to put my own ‘precious projects’ in , with an insert big enough to put every asshole I encounter on any given day into , that I can flush down the toilet.
Priceless of course.

What’s the best type of fighting?
IN fighting!
July 1, 2010 at 1:52 pm
Man, I loved High School drama so much. I wish there was a place I could re-live it all.
July 1, 2010 at 1:53 pm
Is keeping the *integrety* on Etsy related to destroying it on Regretsy?
All this talk makes me hungry for a hot POCKET.
July 1, 2010 at 1:53 pm
I should open a special REGRETSY store, called TwistedDainties. For a mere $99.95 (FREE SHIPPING!) I will create at least three decorative and un-removable knots in THE VERY PANTIES YOU ARE WEARING RIGHT NOW.
Operators are standing by!
July 1, 2010 at 1:54 pm
#10 I thought you wanted the best type for fighting and I was going to recommend: PAPAYRUS with second choice being COMIC SANS
July 1, 2010 at 1:57 pm
I can’t believe that last woman used my trademarked, copyrited phrase, “Disgracing Other People on Alchemy”
July 1, 2010 at 1:58 pm
If anything, “BouquetOfStitches” should appreciate having their shop mentioned.
Lighten up!
July 1, 2010 at 1:59 pm
I’m so naive. Before Regretsy I always thought that Etsy was a place to buy and sell hand crafted things.
July 1, 2010 at 2:00 pm
Etsy doesn’t even need us to make fun of them. This shit speaks for itself.
July 1, 2010 at 2:01 pm
See? This copying shit is exactly what the Crochet Baggers Party is here to protest.
July 1, 2010 at 2:02 pm
At least the drama part qualifies as handmade & vintage….
July 1, 2010 at 2:05 pm
#12 haineux: Bwahahahaha. I might require your services when Etsy has factories on their website as seller and when sellers think Nivea deodorant happened in their artistic ability.
July 1, 2010 at 2:06 pm
I bet someone is kicking herself right now for not giving the usually vague-ish idea of what they want in their Alchemy ad.
There’s no vendetta like a crafter’s vendetta!
July 1, 2010 at 2:11 pm
Somebody’s going to need a tote bag made to carry her ass around in.
July 1, 2010 at 2:14 pm
This is proof that some people’s primary method of movement is either walking around in a huff or flouncing.
July 1, 2010 at 2:17 pm
Clearly these pea brains need the Regretsy Round Table Peace Process,fomenting yucks since 2009.
July 1, 2010 at 2:18 pm
Remember, on the other side of every screen name, there may be a psycho bitch with way too much free time, ready to go postal over a fucking yarn bag.
July 1, 2010 at 2:19 pm
#13 Stretch65 : I dunno. Impact would be a great one, too. It just screams… well… impact!
July 1, 2010 at 2:22 pm
I guess we regretsians haven’t give them enough to bitch about, so they’ve become bored and turned on each other.
July 1, 2010 at 2:24 pm
I will admit she’s a better crafter then me, she MUST have a bag that closes. Don’t you dare let those precious projects touch the ground! Silly me, I just throw my projects in any bag that is handy, closure or no closure.
Maybe that’s why they all have self-esteem issues.
July 1, 2010 at 2:28 pm
Crochety old bitches.
July 1, 2010 at 2:29 pm
#28 @knittin-kitten-do you mean they have self-esteempunk issues, or hot air buildup?
July 1, 2010 at 2:33 pm
#27 Impact would be good. I say a custom font be created exclusively for Etsy in-fighting. I will call this font WALL LAA !
July 1, 2010 at 2:35 pm
#24 or bowel ….
July 1, 2010 at 2:36 pm
FWIW: I guess I’m the odd man out, here. I agree with the complainer. I don’t agree with the exact way it was done.
If I create something and potential buyers are looking for others to make bootleg copies, I’d be pissed. Especially if it were all done within the Etsy community.

#30 hamoza-both because I simply refuse to screen print wheels and cogs onto them once they are finished. I do, however, don a top hat and proper crafting attire when working on them, along with consuming copious amounts of Earl Grey and ginger biscuits.
July 1, 2010 at 2:48 pm
Pirates of the Etsy cesspool,intrigue on the low seas, where design sharks draw (in) blood.
If I ever decide to copy designs & such, I’m going to the top and steal from the best.

#36 hamoza – when you do make sure and warn people repeatedly to not to even think about vilating your pending copyrite while ignoring your own blatant copyright infringing!
July 1, 2010 at 3:00 pm
OK, now I get it. But, it’s not “trademarked”… it MIGHT be copyrighted, but you’d have to go look at all the 500,000 tote bag patterns for sale on the Internet to know if the ‘designer’ didn’t borrow or “create a derivative work” from someone else’s pattern.
But, yeah, bad form. Why not just purchase from the creator? Are they an ex-spouse or something?
July 1, 2010 at 3:01 pm
@kk # 38-I’m going to have that put on my poetic license plate,handmade of course(by a few inmates)!!!
July 1, 2010 at 3:03 pm
Oh, is this the new loophole for the “no calling out” rule?
“I would like to request that everyone snub CutsyBooHooker for calling me a copycat. Also for misusing Alchemy, which I’m doing now, but I have a good reason. Ideal price: $1,000,000 but willing to haggle.”
July 1, 2010 at 3:04 pm
So what it boils down to is that some twat wanted a $35 bag made for $15. Love that there were actual bids placed on the second post. What exactly were they going to make for her?
July 1, 2010 at 3:04 pm
There’s one bag seller who is smart – she sells bags and she also sells the pattern so you can make your own.
the original alchemy request is also a lowballer – asking 15 bucks for something that has a material cost of likely 20 dollars (if you use high-quality retail fabric not on sale) and the original designer only charges 35 for.
July 1, 2010 at 3:07 pm
WTF? I seriously thought HK made up the third one… what do I actually receive if I send them $10,000??
July 1, 2010 at 3:09 pm
I have yet to figure out all the tech aspects but I think self righteousness is the clean, renewable, cheap fuel of the future.
July 1, 2010 at 3:14 pm
Foolish little children. I’m convinced that the vast majority of Etsy sellers would be utterly helpless in the real world. This is why they gravitate to each other. This is why there are so many rules against calling out or negatively implicating. It’s like a kindergarten classroom, and Rob White is Kindergarten Cop.
July 1, 2010 at 3:18 pm
We all know how contagions get spread around in kindergarten ….new etsy pipe -resistant strain of cryabeetus making the rounds.Wah lah….
July 1, 2010 at 3:20 pm
All this deception and duplicity:
Nothing worse than a crafty crafter!!!~
July 1, 2010 at 3:36 pm
#41-I copyrited it so you’ll have to pay me roylties! Waaaa laaaa!
That update is a joke right? Right? Please?
July 1, 2010 at 3:47 pm
RE Update: Holy shit HK, you’re really on the ball (pun intended).
July 1, 2010 at 3:59 pm
Every time I see Rob White’s name I get confused and think of Rob Zombie.
July 1, 2010 at 4:01 pm
How long do you think it will take for them to catch on to your “update”?
Just to be clear, I have nothing to do with this. – HK
July 1, 2010 at 4:07 pm
Probably depends on how many of the Etsy Faithful are cruising the site and FB page.
July 1, 2010 at 4:14 pm
Helen, when I typed out “your update”, I didn’t mean to imply that you did nutsack wanted request itself. Since I don’t know who that brilliant person is, I just simply meant that, well, you updated us. Or another Regretsy Admin. We can blame this loss in translation on me falling down and hitting my head a lot as a klutzy child. And not remembering when I fell down and hit my head when I’ve mixed high heels with alcohol at torturous family reunions.
July 1, 2010 at 4:17 pm
The nutsack materials also include the STIFFNER.
I know Katheryn Zeta-Jones has come to hate the STIFFNER
July 1, 2010 at 4:32 pm
And the nutsack has two bids.
July 1, 2010 at 4:36 pm
Squirrels have computers now? Who knew !
July 1, 2010 at 4:44 pm
Are the Alchemy police the same ones who inforce the copywrited fake baby bottle formula
July 1, 2010 at 5:20 pm
Bronc- It’s not a TUMAAAA
I heart Pannus Bacon.
July 1, 2010 at 6:37 pm
Nutsack deserves its own post. Just sayin’ – that’s too much awesome to be corseted in one little link.
July 1, 2010 at 7:08 pm
Yet another example of how laughable people are on that site. That behavior is embarrassing.
But it’s their behavior that makes this site so successful. Job security, ain’t it great?
July 1, 2010 at 8:57 pm
*sigh* you can’t copyright an item.
The written directions yes. The item, the look the *anything* about the end product? Nope.
Knock-offs are legal as long as you’re not trying to sell it as the real deal. (well, basically. It’s a mucky area of law really.)
July 1, 2010 at 9:44 pm
#31 hamoza- I now HAVE TO open an etsy shop called self-esteemunk issues!! (It’ll be about embracing your natural womanhood with watch gears.)
July 1, 2010 at 11:07 pm
Wanted: Twin nutsacks. I would like them to say….
sudabaki©®™ Esq., L.L.C. (Patent Pending) :
Just move around a couple letters or get nuts with it and have it say pending patent. I am willing to lookie at a very specific and detailed drawing of my twin nutsacs. I would like them to have an extra long handle so that I can hang them low if need be. My ideal price is around what shipping would cost plus a few cents. For my complete enjoyment I will consider
July 1, 2010 at 11:09 pm
65. cont. glancing at your $10,000 pairs. OH and I needed this like yesterday so if you could load your pipe with an upper instead of a downer I will throw in a couple more bucks. Thanks much.
July 1, 2010 at 11:13 pm
#64 @ fancifuldevices-as long as you don’t put a polymer cooter on them -or be forewarned-Regretsyites are gonna’ get you…..
July 1, 2010 at 11:20 pm
BAH HAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAAAA. ILLEGAL and ETSY will have it removed. Yah…if the Killer finds it and points the way for Mr. White as he is a jungle man with no compass.
July 2, 2010 at 8:27 am
I’d like to see someone take Hell-bron- I mean pannus bacon’s request, and rip them a new one over it, it would make my week. Bait.
July 2, 2010 at 9:18 am
@#69 VagSPRHRO: HK had nothing to do with the nutsack request, she simply found and posted it.
Love, Peace, and Bacon Grease,
PB

Upon recent perusal of alchemy requests, I’m wondering if there’s a single one that isn’t a WTF alchemy request.
