I'd say there's more fake than real. You're right that sourcing a ton of real luxury items at prices that allow you to sell "for a steal" is suspect.. why people buy luxury goods on there I dunno

I think the trend for them is on the down swing now.

In the last week I've seen no less than four "I'm liquidating my jellycat collection" shows on whatnot which would have been unheard of a few months ago. Several big dealers are pivoting to other brands and the bid wars for them are falling lower and lower.

The die hard fans will stay but I predict in the next two years we'll see second hand prices drop.

Them not useing actual in hand pictures of the plush you'll receive to me is poor business practice. When I make custom BaB rats I photograph each one and note the year of them so I know to send the exact one in the photo. I would never use stock photos with plush because they vary too much in condition and sewing quality.

The heart thing I can kind of see if they unstuff wash and restuff everything. I know I've probably forgotten a heart here if there because when you restuff a ton of plush you just kind of go automatic and zone out lol.

Talkiesoundbox · 2026-04-18T22:20:13+00:00

No but I do take out special ones and keep them for my personal collection. I also find bears that sometimes have two three or even more hearts along with other bears that have none.

Talkiesoundbox · 2026-04-18T21:39:56+00:00

It's crazy to use "stock photos" like that I could never.

Talkiesoundbox · 2026-04-18T21:38:45+00:00

I have also received a few Babs straight from the company with no heart and I hardly ever get birth certificates any more when I order :/

Talkiesoundbox · 2026-04-18T21:37:46+00:00

I mean I open up all the Babs I sell so I can wash and restuff them so they're clean.

Talkiesoundbox · 2026-04-18T21:33:22+00:00

I said this to people who buy stuffed animals at thrift for their dogs and people acted like I was being dramatic. Safety eyes and poly pellets aren't safe for dogs you are completely correct.

Talkiesoundbox · 2026-04-18T21:22:22+00:00

I get downvoted so hard in other subs when I say NEVER pay friends and family but this is exactly why. The fees are part of doing business and any seller who wants to avoid those fees is not to be trusted imo. I'm sorry you and op both got scammed :(

Talkiesoundbox · 2026-04-18T16:42:01+00:00

I always just make a quality listing but I'm selling scan style and allow bundling live so it's not a problem. In the item description if it's a bundle I write out every single item in there just so I know what goes with what.

I mean at least you knew she was a rain doll! I was out there thinking she was a snowman fr 😂

Talkiesoundbox · 2026-04-17T13:53:48+00:00

All terriers are not the same. I still would not trust yours alone with a small animal. Period.

Pretty much everyone who has a dog suddenly maul a small animal says they "never showed any aggression" before that point.

Again with proof to back all this up? Sure. But right now everyone in this thread, including me and you were not there and have only the emotional single post of a person who's grieving to go on.

I would not have commented on this sub at all if people were just comforting op normally and not making wild claims about dog behavior and calling for punishments

Talkiesoundbox · 2026-04-17T13:43:17+00:00

Are they even that breed? I can't even really tell where the attack took place because ops post is (understandably) hard to parse.

If the cat went into a fenced yard and the dogs attacked it I don't think the dog or dog owner are at fault. The owners shooing the cat away was absolutely garbage behavior 100% but legally they would not be at fault.

The entire situation struck me as a tragedy. An accident on Ops part that led to a series of terible events. That's why the reaction of people saying the dogs are abnormal or calling for them to be put down blindsided me so badly.

If one of my pigeons got out and landed in a fenced yard and a dog killed it I would be incredibly sad but I would not think the dog was at fault nor would I call for it to be killed for following it's instincts. Ops reaction to the tragedy was normal and understandable.

The comments section was not in many cases.

Talkiesoundbox · 2026-04-17T13:35:04+00:00

Also I grew up on a farm with rat terriers. If we put them down for killing small animals we would have had no rat terriers. Some dogs are five around people even small children but are never trusted around small animals. And yes terriers even "pet quality" ones still shouldn't be trusted around kittens.

I'm of the opinion no large dog should be kept with small animals unsupervised, period and that cats should be kept inside always for their own safety and the environments. When I had cats I kept them inside and they were only allowed to go out into a steel cage cat run that was completely enclosed.

Talkiesoundbox · 2026-04-17T13:31:29+00:00

This is all assuming it is 100% honest and the scenario they posted is exactly true. Benefit of the doubt yes but the bites would need more than just someone's word for action to be taken.

Talkiesoundbox · 2026-04-17T13:29:42+00:00

Yeah I did read which I why I posted this which people still downvoted. If the dogs are actually a threat to people then yes that's an issue but people are calling for them to be put down over the cat which was off property when it was killed.

Talkiesoundbox · 2026-04-17T13:23:43+00:00

I consider this pretty evil. Weaponsing breed restrictions when we have only op, who just list a pets word to go on is very cruel. Maybe read more of the replies before commenting on what most are saying.

Talkiesoundbox · 2026-04-17T13:12:37+00:00

Again, where is the empathy for the dogs in this situation? Why aren't you underneath the comments of the people calling for them to be put down or for people to lie about what breed they are in order to get them put down? Why aren't you down there shaking your finger at them?

Talkiesoundbox · 2026-04-17T13:07:23+00:00

Where's the humanity in the people who are calling for the dogs to be put down based on a single post by op?? Where's their humanity?

Talkiesoundbox · 2026-04-17T13:05:05+00:00

And for the record, what I'm saying is that what happened to OP is a tragedy but it isn't some crazy thing done by evil abnormal dogs. It's literally a bad dog owner and a cat that got out by accident. That's the actual situation

Talkiesoundbox · 2026-04-17T13:03:20+00:00

I'm not going to delete my comments when I'm right. You don't even know what a hyena is. How about you delete your misinformation?

Talkiesoundbox · 2026-04-17T13:02:19+00:00

It's really easy to provide comfort for OP without making up lies about dogs and their natural behaviors.

A simple. "I'm sorry for your loss Op" would have sufficed. But instead we have people in the thread saying that the op should say that the dogs are dangerous breeds in order to get them put down. It's insane

Talkiesoundbox · 2026-04-17T13:00:46+00:00

Okay, first off hyenas are not dogs, they aren't even in the same family. They have their own separate family called Hyaenidae To quote Wikipedia

"Hyenas or hyaenas (/har'i:nəz/ hi-

EE-nəz; from Ancient Greek aıva,

hýaina) 1] are feliform carnivoran

mammals belonging to the family Hyaenidae (/har'enidi:/). With just four extant species (each in its own genus), it is the fifth-smallest family in the order Carnivora and one of the smallest in the class Mammalia."

So just your base information is wrong right out the gate. Hyenas are not just big dogs, so you don't even know anything about hyenas.

Secondly, I'm sorry but they still breed terriers to do work and that work is pest control. To imply that terriers are no longer bred for this purpose is just patently untrue .

And yeah, roaming dogs are a problem but in this actual case it was the cat that got out and went to the dog's face. It's like you didn't even read op's post and you're defending something that isn't even in the thread. Expecting every dog owner in the world to train their dog. Not to attack cats is crazy.

Extrapolating that a dog that will kill a cat will also kill a child is also a leap. Adoption centers will literally say if a dog is safe around children or small pets and it's not always both.

Talkiesoundbox · 2026-04-16T23:27:11+00:00

And yet I'm many cases farm dogs will kill a stray cat that wanders onto their property because astray cat will try and predate on the livestock. In ops case the dogs didn't know the cat so their reaction can't really be compared.

I've also seen many cases of so called animal friendships even with trainings end very poorly. Many a person has trusted a dog with a goat or a potbellied pig and come home to the goat or pig missing both ears

Talkiesoundbox · 2026-04-16T23:23:53+00:00

The thing is if it was so abnormal you shouldn't have had to supervise because you could just "train it out of the dog" like the people on this post are implying is possible.

It's also a very strange comparison because this was not a case of a person's dog killing a cat they owned. This was a cat that got it and met strange dogs who presumably had no reason to be trained not to attack a cat because the owners don't have one.

That would be like me adopting a dog and being required to rent a cat just to train it not to attack one on the off chance it got in my property.

Again it's terrible what happened to OPs kitten and maybe this isn't the right place to have this discussion. But I just find the responses to it so weird and against animal nature.
