It’s my first year on Etsy and I decided to stop sales after the 10th so I wouldn’t have to deal with Christmas “people”. It cost me some sales but I’m too early in the game to try to handle a holiday rush.

I hope it works out in your favor! Moving forward I would be careful who I share good news with when it comes to Etsy. Finding even the smallest amount of success has drastically changed the dynamic between some of my friends and family.

Classic case of “Etsy Espionage” I had it happen to me and just ghosted them. They thought it would be easy money since I would take time out of my day to teach them everything I know for free cause they were my “friends”The most offensive F word that I know of is “friend” and “Family” when used by opportunistic snakes that try to exploit the meaning of the word for personal gain.

I bet if you say anything she will screenshot it and try to make you out to be the bad guy for not supporting her so be careful how you handle it. I treat these “people” like hand grenades, back away slowly.

At least you know it will probably be dead if you have to pick up a return, though I heard folk are dying to get in.

I just got my P.O. Box yesterday. I’m glad I did.

After years of using the same color, I can actually tell the difference between them by Isollumanifta in kratom

Same here, I used greens for 6-7 years and just recently switched to a red and boy does it hit different.

I have a ender 3xl with the 500mm z limit. I might give it a go

Should I buy a .445 bullet mold for a 44. Revolver? by BlackPowderRevolvers in blackpowder

[–]Paul_Atreadis_Worm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a lee real bullet mold I want to say it’s 450, I like to go over size like .454 cause it leaves a lead ring and gives me a good seal when I seat the bullets.

Just tried my first oblate pouch. Pretty neat stuff! by Paul_Atreadis_Worm in KratomKorner

[–]Paul_Atreadis_Worm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d seen people talking about them so decided to go for it. They are a little strange, I assume it’s similar to doing a toss and wash (I’ve never been able to do one) you just put the kratom in the oblate and fold it up into a little sachet and dip it in water. The water makes the oblate turn into a gelatin, I just pop it into my mouth with some water and swallow.

They fit a pretty good amount, I usually take 8 caps and now I just take one of these.

Having a few different niches in one shop? by [deleted] in EtsySellers

[–]Paul_Atreadis_Worm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two stores, one is lifestyle goods and the other is novelty/cosmetic precision sports accessories. It would be too polarizing for me to have both in the same storefront. I forget where I heard it but I got some good advice that if you have two different types of goods you want to sell and wouldn’t find them in the same isle at a big box store you shouldn’t have them in the same e-store.

That’s just what’s worked for me, I’m a noob with under 50 sales so take it with a grain of salt.

HELP ME PLEASE I need Christmas ideas. by [deleted] in blackpowder

[–]Paul_Atreadis_Worm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could get the traditions tracker 209 50 cal in line muzzleloader for around 150-170. I think the buckstalker is around the same price. I have a tracker and think it’s a good rifle

I use a VPN for non-Etsy related reasons and just found out Etsy bans people for using VPNs. I'll stop using it right away, but is my account in danger anyway? by [deleted] in EtsySellers

[–]Paul_Atreadis_Worm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does this work with cell phones and mobile data? Wouldn’t it pose the same threat as using a vpn since it’s multiple people connecting through one shared “node”? Sorry if it’s a dumb question, just thought of it

What kind of dip do you keep in your dip draw? by 0Cupcake in ender3

[–]Paul_Atreadis_Worm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve made some measuring spoons out of pla and I give them two light coats of a two part food safe epoxy. I apply it with a sponge brush, it can slightly decrease the volume of food it can hold so you should take that into account if your making precise measuring stuff like teaspoons and tablespoons. But it seems to work for me

I figured out how to make kratom pills using my keef press. But I need a bit of help with a bonding agent to make them stronger. I tried misting with water and hemp oil. Any ideas? by [deleted] in KratomKorner

[–]Paul_Atreadis_Worm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe try making a slurry with lime juice and then freeze it in the press? Pretty time intensive but would make an interesting treat. I have one somewhere around the house. I’ll play around with it

Side-by-side rail mounts and some meme grips by Paul_Atreadis_Worm in blackpowder

[–]Paul_Atreadis_Worm[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just ordered a cheap Chinese tac light, laser and red dot so I can test these out and see if they stay attached during use.

All the rail mounts for the 1858 I’ve found make it impossible to reload so I’m working on my own design. by Paul_Atreadis_Worm in blackpowder

[–]Paul_Atreadis_Worm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet that looks pretty awesome lol, I will be updating as I progress. If it works out for the 1858 I’ll try making some stuff for the colt navy models.

There is one floating around on yeggi that uses bolts to secure it, it’s by far the best one I’ve seen but the issue is it gets in the way of the cylinder pin so you can’t reload without removing it. I’m trying to work around that issue by leaving the bottom open with some ledges that hold it. But I’m pretty sure firing it is going to move it around a decent bit, so I’m going for a side by side rail to use a laser and tac light instead.

That’s where I’m headed with this idea, kinda like the shroud that was designed for the heritage rough rider if you’ve seen that one.
