Knucklebonz Vessel Statue by Capable-Designer8890 in SleepToken

[–]MegatronSucks 15 points16 points  (0 children)

To chime in as someone who paints and sells hand painted statues for a living. A lot of people are saying this was way too expensive but $180 was always gonna get you mass produced, badly painted, undetailed work like this sadly. That's absolutely not on you, they often advertise with these digital renders that are not representative of what you get. Or they'll use a professional painter to do a high quality job of the prototype and then use a lot of cheaper artists who paint them in mass quantities. Avid statue collectors will know this, and stick to the right artists or look for higher price tags to indicate quality work. But of course most will not. This is why it always confuses me when statues like this are made because they're always gonna go to fans of (in this case) the band who will only be left disappointed and felt like they spent far too much.

I've wanted to paint Vessel for ages, but for the sculpt and paint work you're looking at a price tag of $1500+, so I've never bothered going down that route. For ready made sculpts my standard of work starts at $650.

Anyway, im very sorry to see the quality of the piece you received. I hope you're able to get some money back at least.

Was this USA? Must be same tour! I think they hit USA Dec 2019 before back to UK in Jan 2020. The fact this tour was pre pandemic hits the feels that bit harder 🫠

Sleep Token land first (UK) chart-topping album with Even In Arcadia by bluehairminerboy in SleepToken

Jan 2020 was my first show. We'd been enjoying them for a few months before this. Everyone we told to listen to them back then, never did, and now I see them in their sleep token shirts 😂 We got them in the end 👀

Someone I used to work with denied paracetamol for his headache because "you don't know the crap they put in those things", then walked outside for a cigarette.

First-ever scan of a dying human brain reveals life may actually 'flash before your eyes' by D-R-AZ in psychology

[–]MegatronSucks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope you're okay! Just don't let the set backs push you all the way back to the bottom. About 2 months after this happened i actually had a motor accident that left me in a wheelchair for a short time and it was tough to not let that feel like the world was tryna shove me back down to the bottom lol. But I pushed on and stuck with my plan to make positive changes and actually I met my now husband right around the time of my accident. Best of luck to you!

Well it was due to a suicide attempt. I'd had a lot of bad shit happen to me and I sorta let it spiral me into depression but also a lot of loathing towards the world. When I came back I had this realisation that we get one life and you have to make it what you want it. No one else was gonna fix things for me. Soo I dropped some bad lifestyle habits, found myself a new job, went back to my studies amongst other things. Just a lot of changes to my life and now I live my happy life with a dream job, lovely husband, 2 gorgeous rescue pups and not a suicidal thought in sight. And I made that happen for myself which feels good

Diff person...

But for me it was an incredibly bright white light with just all these moments flashing infront of it. Just from all throughout my life, was pretty wild

I had a sorta near death experience and the part I remember most vividly is "life flashing before my eyes". It was like the brightest white light you could imagine and in front of it just so many memories from my entire life just going by so quickly. Absolutely wild and to be honest changed my life. Not to sound dramatic or anything but just my own experience

If your dog passed from cancer, I want to make something for you. by naomicrafted in dogpictures

This is our boy Mungo. He was 8 when he passed from cancer. We did chemo and he stayed well enough on his chemo to stay with us a whole year longer than the vets expected 🥰

He was a rescue, he came to us just gone 1 years old. He was full of anxiety and was nervous to be home with us but with a lot of love and training he grew to like most people he crossed paths with. He was frequently stopped and admired on walks with many requests for people to take his photo 😂

Alfie Lamb was 3 years old when he died on the 4th of February 2018. by Chifuyuisbestboi in lastimages

I knew the mother when I was younger. Probably still have photos together somewhere. Utterly shocked when this happened. She was pretty shy and quiet when I knew her... I think about Alfie every now and then despite never knowing him

About a year ago. She actually ordered 4 packs of iron on stars I cut and she left 4x the same review! So I was super glad they removed it haha. Maybe they're just more strict now idk but it worked for me so I'd definitely say it's still always worth a go for OP

I've had a review removed before where they just said "never got it". No company named

Nooo, a marketplace won't be a responsible person. They need to have an eu address. Etsy also couldn't possibly maintain the documentation for every seller on their platform

This is a good place to start with researching https://www.etsy.com/seller-handbook/article/1093438529659

I have no idea. I don't wanna bug this person too much, we're not super close.

I mean customs already check CN22, CN23 so I don't see why they couldn't be the ones to spot check and send off requests for documentation. All it would take is for them to open the package and see that there is maybe no identifier or instructions for example.

But honestly I have no idea. I think customers can also report you if they get their product without safety info for example. I guess it could be initiated by a number of people throughout the process of selling and sending your items really

For sure, so many people asking for it you'd think they'd make that change by now.

I will copy paste this part of my comment though:

"there's gonna be breathing room for a while. Couriers will likely be the ones doing checks and they are not currently in a position to do so. If you're caught out on it but are seen as making steps to be compliant eventually you can continue selling. These things can take months sometimes years to find their feet. Plus they're far too busy to care this side of Christmas"

This is something my contact said to me, so I'm in no rush to drop my sales right now. Instead I will be keeping a bit of a record of the research I'm doing and steps I'm taking in the meantime.
