Etsy or Regretsy?
It’s time to play…
Here’s how this works:
At least one of these is a real listing on Etsy. At least one of these was completely invented by us.
The question is, which is the Etsy, and which is the Regretsy?
Make your best guesses in the comments, but don’t cheat (if you do cheat, don’t post spoilers).
Answers will be posted in a few hours.

The seed dustpan is clever but not saleable, the rest I will personally shoot if they are real….. especially the 350 quid piece of scribbled rubbish!
September 27, 2012 at 10:50 am
Honestly, I thought the dustpan bird feeder was pretty cute. If it were ten dollars instead of 50, I might just buy it. The rest… I haven’t even got the heart to contemplate whether someone is actually trying to sell them.
September 27, 2012 at 11:23 am
Yeah it’s the least shitty of the bunch!
September 27, 2012 at 11:32 am
Totally agree. I will say that perhaps the blender is Regretsy, but the rest is too shitty for HK to have dreamed up.
September 27, 2012 at 1:30 pm
Actually I like it too – the idea that is. It would be great to hang under a (back) window in winter & not have to go out in the cold to fill the feeder. Dollar Store here I come!
September 27, 2012 at 3:29 pm
Since I never saw the dustpan before it was ‘upcycled’ I can’t be sure of its condition, but it might have been worth $15 to $25 as found. The original paint was not meant to survive outdoors; the description does not say what was done to it to make it durable for outside use. This one has to be Etsy because the seller has no idea collectors would want the dustpan as found if it still had most of its paint in good shape. Not something in danger of being buried in a landfill! This piece (in a different color) is actually in a collector’s guide.
September 27, 2012 at 9:37 am
I feel like that bird feeder has to be April and Bronc. You don’t make something as monstrously stupid as that thing, and then turn around and have nice landscaping. Probably.
September 27, 2012 at 9:37 am
Etsy, Regretsy, Regretsy, Etsy, Etsy… actually I’m torn on the coffemate hummingbird feeder. That’s easily up to Etsy standards.
September 27, 2012 at 10:13 am
This is my vote exactly. But, then again, I’m often wrong. So I guess I’m saying you’re wrong.
September 27, 2012 at 1:28 pm
I’m having a hard time on that too. I keep wondering if April would spend that much time to make a piece of shit and hang it while at that same time ruining a container that could hold cookies or cupcakes. Plus the seller uses “jute” (they seem to love it along with muslin and things hand rubbed with tung oil) I think only an Etsyite would give that much time to something that crappy.
……but then, I COULD see April giving someone some sugar water for their hummers – to sweeten the deal. Damn, this is hard.

RACIST-THEME KITCHEN!
I am seriously, SERIOUSLY laughing so hard I’m in tears!!
(seriously!)
Goddamn I love regretsy!
September 27, 2012 at 11:25 am
My friends know I like weird/offensive stuff so when they travel they always bring me back something. It started with some refrigerator magnets from New Orleans that look pretty much like this: http://thumbs1.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mIplz63dmXbJu0eiZqe2oOg.jpg
September 27, 2012 at 10:37 am
Racist-themed kitchen is one way to keep all the people at the party from ending up in there. Unless it’s some kind of Nazi party, of course.
September 27, 2012 at 11:04 am
Like a KKKitchen party?
September 27, 2012 at 11:10 am
That makes me think my linen closet is kind of racist.
September 27, 2012 at 11:12 am
You wouldn’t believe how many racist kids run around my neighborhood on Halloween. Shitloads of them.
September 27, 2012 at 11:31 am
This reminds me about how my friend clears out a party at the end of the night. He has a copy of the recording of Jonestown, were they are all drinking the poison. That clears out a room quick when you start hearding the bodies hit the floor.
September 27, 2012 at 11:44 am
If that works, then he’s inviting the wrong people.
September 27, 2012 at 12:08 pm
Well, he is kinda a stick in the mud.
September 27, 2012 at 12:12 pm
I’m sorry. I’ve started to write something exclamatory and erased it three times. I can say nothing that can live up to the standards of what you wrote.
September 27, 2012 at 12:24 pm
There’s a recording?? I need that for the next time my brother goes off on one of his rants….
September 27, 2012 at 2:20 pm
It’s pretty creepy, really, and available at archive.org.
September 27, 2012 at 10:52 am
Yes that’s my vote as well . . . that “art” has got to be Regretsy, right? RIGHT?!
September 27, 2012 at 9:38 am
The bird Feeder made out of Garbage and random capitalized Words makes me Rather irate.
September 27, 2012 at 9:51 am
My son and I made a similar one out of a water bottle and sour cream lids. Then we painted it to make it look nice and didn’t sell it for $11. And he’s 8, so…
September 27, 2012 at 10:15 am
It’s more the description that irks, with the Sudden upper-case letters where you Least expect it. I’m not a fan of kr8tv wrYtng. Making things like this with kids is fun! Selling them, on the other hand. . . .
September 27, 2012 at 9:39 am
Etsy sellers are too cheap to include bird seed with an overpriced dustpan.
September 27, 2012 at 10:40 am
You missed the obvious “cheep” pun. What is this, the Wall Street Journal all of a sudden?
September 27, 2012 at 9:39 am
I’m going with coffee mate and blender being the faux
September 27, 2012 at 10:03 am
Solidarity!
September 27, 2012 at 11:34 am
Me too, it seems too complex for a seller of junk. It took a little bit of work to put all the parts together
September 27, 2012 at 9:39 am
I want, no, I need them all!
(it is not easy to type in a straightjacket)
September 27, 2012 at 9:42 am
So if you can’t use your hands, I assume you’re using the “hunt and pecker” typing method?
September 27, 2012 at 9:53 am
Indeed!
By doze is beginning to hurt!
September 27, 2012 at 10:11 am
There may be a bit of a transoceanic translation glitch.
Where I’m from “pecker” refers to the, um, lower human horn.
But both are funny and both, at some point in their existence, involve the use of Kleenex, so everything’s fine.

I think it’s the dustpan and I wish it was Aunt Jemima because that’s just wrong on so many levels.
September 27, 2012 at 9:40 am
The dustpan birdfeeder HAS to be Etsy – I sincerely doubt that April or Bronc own a dustpan.
September 27, 2012 at 9:54 am
HA!
September 27, 2012 at 10:05 am
I agree but it’s because I sincerely doubt that April or Bronc own such a vast expanse of barn wood.
September 27, 2012 at 10:11 am
Not a lot of old barns in the Los Angeles area. I hear there’s lots of old Balinese boatwood in the Malibu area, however.

September 27, 2012 at 9:41 am
I’m pretty sure the hummingbird feeder is what happened after Helen got drunk watching Craft Wars on TLC.
September 27, 2012 at 9:41 am
I think they’re all Etsy except for the “art.” I have VERY low standards when it comes to Etsy.
September 27, 2012 at 2:44 pm
With expectations at an all time low on Etsy- anything is possible.
Which is why I am thinking they are ALL Etsy. It’s crazy what people will pay for all and all, outright shit.
September 27, 2012 at 9:43 am
I think the first bird feeder is real. Real stupid, but real nonetheless.
I’m guessing the mammy doll syrup bottle is fake, and the Coffeemate bird feeder is suspect. But you never really know, do you? Etsy never fails to underwhelm me.
September 27, 2012 at 9:44 am
!. Regretsy- the barn wood just puts this one over the edge for me it has to be fake
2. Regretsy- the cloth apron wasn’t cut well and seems to be covering some text that might not be native to the bottle
3. Etsy- Too over the top bad to be a joke
4. Etsy- Who else would have a 5×7 notebook?
5. Regretsy- Things involved with blenders should never be served on the rocks….
September 27, 2012 at 9:44 am
The hummingbird feeder is Regretsy because “hummer” (heh-heh)plus I recognize the Coffee Mate.
The blender’s Regretsy because I’m all mixed up about it.
I’m almost positive Helen is too lazy to have scribbled the “words on paper”.
September 27, 2012 at 9:50 am
You don’t think that mammy syrup thing is fake? Surely there can’t be anyone left out there who doesn’t know that making those sorts of things is horribly offensive, can there? I know there’s a large collector market for the stuff made a long time ago, but there’s none for “new” racist dolls/art, right?
September 27, 2012 at 9:57 am
Oh, there are definitely people who don’t know that those things are offensive
As one cupcake once famously said, “If this is slavery, then someone sign me up!”
September 27, 2012 at 10:19 am
I can (and have) see Helen REcreating and sharing something horribly offensive for comedic effect, but I don’t know about her creating it. She does have hidden depths, though.
September 27, 2012 at 9:46 am
That “words on paper” thing is too depressing to even think about. But there is a kid who shows up in the etsy forums from time to time who would do something that idiotic. Only he would charge $100,000.
September 27, 2012 at 10:32 am
I thought of him as soon as I saw this.
September 27, 2012 at 10:44 am
It couldn’t be him, though, because he always does his listings in that sEriAL KilLeR tYpe sTylE tHaT CreEps mE OUt.
September 27, 2012 at 3:47 pm
So did I! First thing that popped in my head was “Welp, Brendan’s at it again.” Anyone else wonder why that listing doesn’t exist anymore, though?
September 27, 2012 at 9:47 am
If that Jemima one is real, I will dump out the sand and fill it with my tears.
September 27, 2012 at 9:51 am
That’s what I’m sayin’. That would bum me the fuck out. If that’s real, I’ve gotta show my mom that. She’d lose it.
September 27, 2012 at 10:53 am
I think, no matter what, worlds will be shattered on this day.
September 27, 2012 at 10:57 am
I should start selling drip-sandcastles made from my etsy tears.
September 27, 2012 at 11:41 am
My Regretsy-inspired tears from laughing at/crying for humanity would be enough saline to fill all the breast implants in Malibu.
September 27, 2012 at 2:06 pm
Business plan!
September 27, 2012 at 9:48 am
Etsy, Etsy, Regretsy, Etsy, Etsy.
September 27, 2012 at 9:49 am
My guesses…
Dustpan – Etsy. It seems very thought out.
Syrup Bottle – I really hope it’s Regretsy. It’s too tasteless to be real, and there are just too many “quirks” in the listing (All Words Capitalized, “Breakfats,” use of an inappropriate racial slur in the title).
Coffee Mate Feeder – You just can’t fake this type of stupid. Etsy.
Words on Paper – Regretsy. The photography is too good.
Blender Base – “Mint Condition,” but “Nonworking.” Etsy.
September 27, 2012 at 11:37 am
The kind of person who would create this syrup bottle would not know that was a slur.
September 27, 2012 at 12:09 pm
“Too tasteless to be real?”
Hahahaha
September 27, 2012 at 12:46 pm
I think I just heard the entire internet say “Challenge Accepted!”

September 27, 2012 at 2:31 pm
Even more, who would want to make money off of that crap?
Scheiss on a stick…
September 27, 2012 at 9:49 am
If the Coffeemate bird feeder is Etsy, I lose my faith in humanity. At least it would be clearly homemade and not a resell, though…
September 27, 2012 at 9:50 am
Only the last one is Regretsy because it looks the easiest to throw together, and I don’t think Helen would want to waste any precious drinking time upcycling garbage.
September 27, 2012 at 9:51 am
1. Etsy (I really hope it’s regretsy though. $55…good lord)
2. Etsy.
3. Regretsy. Dat coffee mate.
4. Etsy.
5. Regretsy. Oh please, let it be Regretsy.
September 27, 2012 at 10:56 am
$55 is why the premium birdseed is “free”.
September 27, 2012 at 11:06 am
What exactly is “premium bird seed”? Are there different quality levels of bird seed?
September 27, 2012 at 11:17 am
Yes. Some brands are really cheep.
September 27, 2012 at 11:43 am

September 27, 2012 at 9:51 am
1. Etsy, it’s all cute and silly painted. -GAG-
2. Regretsy, I have a feeling Ms. Killer had a fun time capitalizing every word in that paragraph.
3. Regretsy, after that other time you made all the flavours of some coffeemate like thing lamps, or something like that.
4. Etsy. This is stupid shit some hipster asshole scribbled in “Selected Topics Contemporary Native Poetry” class, and thought was brilliant.
5. Etsy – That upcycling, just-add-rocks movement
September 27, 2012 at 10:26 am
I was hoping that the dustpan already came painted. The possibility that the seller actually took the time to paint it is too terrible for me to comprehend.
September 27, 2012 at 9:53 am
Dustpan–Only an Etsy seller could put that much effort into a dustpan filled with shit.
Jemima–Etsy, because racism is craftable
Hummingbird feeder–looks Etsy, but I think it’s really Helen trying to throw us off the scent
Words On Paper–Stupidity is rewarded at Etsy, so why not?
Blender Base–Etsy, home of filling shit with more shit and selling it for $45
September 27, 2012 at 9:55 am
I think they are all Etsy, with exception of the coffee mate hummingbird feeder. Even though I am a little torn on that one, since it seems almost too easy.

September 27, 2012 at 9:58 am
I’m guessing all are Etsy except #1 (the dustpan). There’s no way something that stupid would have a coherent description with everything spelled correctly. I do have doubts about the last one, tho….
September 27, 2012 at 9:59 am
Yeah, that Coffeemate hummingbird feeder has to be fake. In the description, it says “I will include instructions on how to make sugar water”. That’s great.
September 27, 2012 at 10:28 am
Actually hummingbirds do require a specific sugar/water ratio… Yeah, sounds stupid I know. Something like 4:1. WTH is a “pear link” though??
September 27, 2012 at 10:40 am
Yeah, the wording just seems like when I do the fake Chinese-reseller sentences that only partially make sense.
September 27, 2012 at 10:44 am
Oh yeah, it kinda does. Fake Chinese reseller sentences very happy make!!
September 27, 2012 at 10:00 am
I’m thinking the syrup bottle is Regretsy because it’s only $12 and if it was Etsy, it would be at least $24!
Please let words on paper be Regretsy… It’s the one that would make me the craziest if it’s real.
I’m waffling on the up cycled blender part… I keep changing my mind but I’m saying Etsy, hoping Regretsy
September 27, 2012 at 10:04 am
etsy-April would have filled this with clothespins or rocks
etsy- April can paint better than that
regretsy- It just better be
etsy- I wish it wasn’t, but I’m sure someone really thinks this garbage is worth 350
etsy- I’m torn. That floor looks familiar…
September 27, 2012 at 10:09 am
I always suck at Etsy or Regretsy, but I’ll try.
#1 and 2: Regretsy. The spelling’s too perfect on the feeder, and #2 – the cutesy racism plus “the kids haven’t knocked her down” = something only HK could dream up. (Please let it be Regretsy)
The last three: Etsy.
September 27, 2012 at 10:21 am
I can’t even respond. I’m suddenly feeling suicidal.
September 27, 2012 at 1:07 pm
may I suggest:
September 27, 2012 at 1:37 pm

September 27, 2012 at 2:25 pm
And wants to save the mortician a little time. Pretty damn considerate, actually.
September 27, 2012 at 2:27 pm
Or wants to leave a really clean corpse.
September 27, 2012 at 10:33 am
1) Etsy: too many quotes, too much self-conscious whimsicality.
2) Regretsy: Dear heaven, I hope so.
3) Etsy: Just shitty enough.
4) Regretsy: If it was Etsy they would have charged more.
5) Etsy: Because somehow I doubt Helen and Bronc would have better taste than to desecrate a vintage blender base like that. (I have a vintage chrome Osterizer with that beehive shape, probably almost as old as I am; got it in a thrift shop for $15 and it works perfectly.)
September 27, 2012 at 10:34 am
Bird Feeder – Etsy
Aunt Jemima – Etsy. With unfortunate racist implications.
Humming Bird feeder … uh… Regretsy? Though this looks like it could be a fun craft project to do with kids. Just not something any normal person would try to sell. Which means it’s actually probably etsy. Sigh.
Words on Paper – Please be Regretsy.
Blender Base…. Etsy? (Mostly because I can’t fathom why you guys would even own a broken blender base.)
September 27, 2012 at 11:01 am
If there are two people in the whole world who would be burning through the motors those things like nobody’s business in the pursuit of blended drinks – they would be April and Bronc. I want to see a picture of their carafe collection.
September 27, 2012 at 11:09 am
Unfortunately, I would probably own a broken blender vase. But at least I would do something less lame with it (hopefully).
September 27, 2012 at 12:15 pm
Right? It’s a nice base, if you like old appliances like I do. It could be turned into something much more appealing. Why is it everyone thinks recycling means putting sticks in everything and calling them vases?
“Special shell,” honestly.
September 27, 2012 at 12:22 pm
I try not to use the word “upcycle” anymore. It’s been ruined by etsy.
September 27, 2012 at 12:26 pm
It’s only a short walk from “upcycle” to “upchuck.”
September 27, 2012 at 12:25 pm
You can put flowers in anything. You haven’t created anything new when you do that. I could stick flowers in my ass- it doesn’t mean I’ve “upcycled” my ass.
September 27, 2012 at 12:26 pm
Pics or it didn’t happen.
September 27, 2012 at 12:48 pm
But you have downcycled some flowers.
September 27, 2012 at 12:59 pm
Or browncycled them. I just grossed myself out.
September 27, 2012 at 1:00 pm
You may notice a pattern: as the day wears on and the lacquer fumes build in this place, my humor takes a nosedive.
September 27, 2012 at 1:23 pm
And yet, somehow the rest of us don’t seem to mind. Are we all on lacquer fumes?
September 27, 2012 at 2:54 pm
Some of us? Well we long since bypassed the gutter and went straight to the sewer with our dirty thoughts. You’re not alone
September 27, 2012 at 3:05 pm
NOt browncycle, patina. If you swallow some watchparts steampunk patina. Got it now?
September 27, 2012 at 10:37 am
That Humming Bird feeder is too easy a target, it HAS to be Etsy.
Jemima Butterworth is probably the Regretsy piece, and possibly the blender as well.

I think that the dust pan is Etsy. Because people who would keep a 30 year old dustpan around are the same people who buy bird seed 100lbs at a time. The combination of the two was inevitable.
September 27, 2012 at 11:49 am

September 27, 2012 at 11:52 am
I am gonna hold out hope that Aunt Jemima is Regretsy. “Breakfats friend”? “Watch over your hotcakes”? Please, Etsy, say it ain’t so.
September 27, 2012 at 11:57 am
I’m guessing that the syrup bottle and blender base are Regretsy. The rest Etsy.
September 27, 2012 at 12:09 pm
Dust pan : regretsy
Because of the (facepalm) free seed (facepalm). If this isn’t regretsy then it’s someone who was consciously trying to appear on regretsy.
Syrup bottle: etsy or I haven’t learned anything after one and a half year spent on this site.
Humming bird : regretsy.
Art: etsy.
Blender base : I see nothing wrong with this object being on etsy.

I’m going to say the feeder is Regretsy and everything else is Etsy. The more crazy shit I see on Etsy, the harder it is to pay this game.
September 27, 2012 at 12:12 pm
Or play this game. Stupid broken keyboard. Either way, Etsy never fails to surprise me with shit that gets listed.

I honestly can’t tell anymore, but here are my guesses.
1. Dustpan – Etsy
2. Aunt Jemima – Etsy. Helen and Bronc have way more artistic skills than this person.
3. Hummingbird feeder – Regretsy. I can totally imagine them sitting around drinking and laughing while making this thing and its goofy description.
4. Art – Regretsy. It doesn’t suck enough. Usually stuff with a bizarre price like that sucks more.
5. Blender vase – Etsy

It’s got to be the birdfeeder. I just… I cannot fathom anyone actually selling something so Frankensteined. They’d paint is some hideous color or something.

I think number 4 – words on paper is the only Regretsy and the rest are for realsy.
September 27, 2012 at 1:01 pm
I’m torn–on the one hand, SWEET BABY JESUS I want that Aunt Jemima bottle to not be a real thing in the world. On the other hand, I don’t want to imagine April, even at her drunkest, conceiving of it. Basically, no matter if that bottle is real or fake, the world weeps.
September 27, 2012 at 1:24 pm
Gonna guess flowerpan is Regretsy; Jemima bottle is Etsy, Creamer Hummingbird feeder is Regretsy, the daydream is Regretsy and the blender is Etsy.
September 27, 2012 at 1:29 pm
the “words on paper” is definitely etsy. april’s too creative to make garbage as bad as that.
September 27, 2012 at 1:55 pm
Since everything is either yard sale shit, or overpriced trash, the one that stood out to me as Regretsy was the Aunt Jemima, Mrs Butterworth. Why? Because it didn’t say “If this is slavery, sign me up” in the seller’s item description.
September 27, 2012 at 2:04 pm
There is no way that the Words on Paper is Etsy. Am I giving them too much credit? Probably. But I’m sticking to my answer.
September 27, 2012 at 2:06 pm
Etsy, because it looks like they cared how it turned out.
Regretsy, because I think this is something April would set out at breakfast when someone’s visiting. Ain’t throwin’ this baby away.
Etsy. I’m actually beginning to believe that Regretsy makes better quality things than Etsy, so when I see a pile of trash taped together, I automatically think it’s Etsy.
Etsy, because oh, I can see it.
Regretsy. Fuck it, I’m sick of guessing.
September 27, 2012 at 2:07 pm
Etsy, Regretsy, Etsy, please, PLEASE be Regretsy, Etsy
September 27, 2012 at 2:07 pm
The dustpan has to be Etsy. April would be too drunk to be able to screw something that level.
September 27, 2012 at 2:21 pm
Sadly, I think it’s:
1. Etsy- where else would someone’s old dirt be $55?
2. Etsy-slavery was fun, y’all!
3. Regretsy – because the scenery looks Californian.
4. Etsy – Brandon drew this, didn’t he?
5. I’M TORN. TOO MUCH PRESSURE.
September 27, 2012 at 2:24 pm
hummingbird feeder and the industrial blender base thingamajig are April, the rest are Etsy.

September 27, 2012 at 2:57 pm
Dustpan Regretsy I can see Helen having way too much fun with this
Jemima Butterworth Regresy Oh please, please be Regretsy. Please
Coffee Mate Feeder Regretsy. Srly? Has to be a joke. Right?
Words Etsy stupidly artsy fartsy enough for a hipster seller
Blender Etsy Why would HK have a non-working blender?
September 27, 2012 at 3:10 pm
I believe the dustpan is the etsy listing, its the only one with an “aged wood” background . Plus the description sounds like someone sipping a wheatgrass smoothie while wearing a smug sneer.
September 27, 2012 at 3:16 pm
2: regretsy (no mention of folk art or (up/re)cycled!?)
3:etsy
4:Regretsy : would believe someone pompous enough to pass this as art would have a 5 page essay in the description.
5:Regretsy: Doubt theyd say it didnt work in the title, although im least sure about this one.
September 27, 2012 at 3:32 pm
The syrup bottle and dust pan bird feeder: Etsy
Coffee mate attrocity: Possibly Etsy, mostly because it seems like a lot of work entirely in the wrong direction.
Shitscribbles and blender: Regretsy.
September 27, 2012 at 3:36 pm
YAY!!! Another Etsy or Regretsy!! I missed these…
um… ok. here’s what i think:
1. etsy: unnecessary quotes, plus the words “repurposed”, “upcycled”, “found object”, and “green creation”? gotta be etsy
2. regretsy: because i hope somebody’s not actually selling that, but i wouldn’t be surprised
3. regretsy: the subtle innuendos sound like HK (if they were etsy, they’d be much more obtuse)
4. etsy (though i’m surprised it’s not misspelled)
5. hmm… tough one. broken appliance part, looks kinda like a bong? sounds like etsy. but it’s not displayed on barnwood so… i’m going with regretsy

Helen, I bet you have a blast coming up with the Regretsy ones. I can just imagine you wandering around your house and looking for shit to “upcycle” into even worse shit.
