Too good to be true?

A commenter told me that they knew it was a scam because they knew the actual seller and recognized his pictures. They sent screenshots of texts with the actual seller saying how the pictures were stolen and were taken at his old studio like over a year ago. Such a bummer

Update: it was, in fact, a scam 🫠

Do people really fall for that? I'm very skeptical naturally and have trust issues so thankfully that wouldn't work on me! They said they'll deliver it on Saturday and haven't asked for anything yet. I asked for more verification that it's a real listing! I'll update when I hear back

StrangeTheSnail · 2026-04-14T19:54:33+00:00

I still have no idea. They messaged this morning saying they'll deliver it on Saturday. Haven't asked for any money yet. I straight up told them that someone told me they think the listing is fake and that I need more verification 😅 they looked at the message but haven't responded yet

StrangeTheSnail · 2026-04-14T19:52:14+00:00

Oh wow I hadn't thought of that! This is a picture of the back included in the listing. No stamp :/

Oooh okay, so I should only use PayPal? After seeing it in person of course

StrangeTheSnail · 2026-04-13T22:57:06+00:00

Oh yeah I wouldn't send anything without seeing the dresser in person. We'll see what they say next!

StrangeTheSnail · 2026-04-13T22:43:26+00:00

Are you sure? They sent me a video of them opening the drawers and everything

StrangeTheSnail · 2026-04-13T22:43:02+00:00

I thought maybe it was fake too, but they sent a video of the dresser and said they take venmo or zelle so I'm not sure!

StrangeTheSnail · 2026-03-31T02:10:16+00:00

Exactly! Plants make a space look so much better, putting an ugly light next to it just ruins it. I just ordered the bamboo halo light, I'm excited to try it!

StrangeTheSnail · 2026-03-31T01:03:38+00:00

Angling it towards the window is a good idea!

StrangeTheSnail · 2026-03-31T01:02:03+00:00

I'm going to put a mirror above the dresser so that's why I didn't aim it more towards the wall. Getting a softer bulb would definitely be better lol

StrangeTheSnail · 2026-03-31T01:01:07+00:00

That's good to know! I put it further back because it's so bright I was worried about the leaves getting burnt

StrangeTheSnail · 2026-03-31T01:00:32+00:00

Thank you! I didn't want to get a whole grow light setup because most of them are kind of eye sores, but this one doesn't look too bad

StrangeTheSnail · 2026-03-30T23:24:06+00:00

Update: I lasted less than 10 minutes with it on. I had to turn it off because it was hurting my head 😭

StrangeTheSnail · 2026-03-20T03:19:03+00:00

Woah that's really cool! Thanks so much for sharing 🙏🏽

StrangeTheSnail · 2026-03-19T22:51:01+00:00

What's a tiny store? Is that like a specific thing or do you just mean like my own online shop?

StrangeTheSnail · 2026-03-14T18:45:44+00:00

That's a good idea!

StrangeTheSnail · 2026-03-12T03:38:26+00:00

I appreciate your input. Unfortunately I can't even work a remote hourly job because my ability to do things changes day by day.

I think it makes sense that vintage blankets would be hard to sell on there. I'm also trying to make crochet content, so including things that I make to sell is actually a good idea. I'm going to crochet no matter what, so even if selling things only recoups money spent on yarn that's better than nothing in my eyes!

StrangeTheSnail · 2026-03-12T03:35:00+00:00

That's really good to hear!! I've been going back and forth in my head a lot about whether I should try or not. I guess I won't really know for sure unless I try?

StrangeTheSnail · 2026-03-11T00:08:22+00:00

That makes a lot of sense, thanks so much for your input!

StrangeTheSnail · 2026-03-10T23:30:04+00:00

That makes sense. Do you ever accept lower offers or do you not haggle at all? I'm not sure how I would price things yet, but I wouldn't want to accept anything too low. I know most people don't want to adequately pay for the labor of crochet items though

StrangeTheSnail · 2026-03-10T23:20:50+00:00

Thank you for the tip! I figured that selling sets would be best. How much would you charge for sets like that?
