Some of the so-called imperfect items I can "fix"--meaning change somewhat like overdyeing--but these must be sold in person. Some of these items I may list in the future as OOAK.<br />That's my short answer.Splendid Little Starshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10732090154244573323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595462995395752860.post-36750698669544528442013-03-12T16:20:35.899-05:002013-03-12T16:20:35.899-05:00Those glasses would make great groomsmen gifts, an...Those glasses would make great groomsmen gifts, and having personalized is a nice touch.

But I included a closeup shot of the flaw in the listing. The buyer was delighted to get a bargain.<br />I've had two oven mitts parts with fabric flaws I didn't detect while I was cutting, but saw under better light when I was quilting. I may make those into a new mitt for myself. Spaghetti sauce will mask the flaw. pasqueflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17726376425071322993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595462995395752860.post-76082058045307394762013-03-11T13:32:35.680-05:002013-03-11T13:32:35.680-05:00Imperfections are a big quandary for me!

In general, I just feel bad about listing something that isn't just right! I daw someone at a show with a big "seconds" board, but I feel like most of my things aren't worth selling if they're not dead on. It's not because I'm against seconds, but most of the 'seconds' I have are from things falling in resin while it dries or resin not hardening correctly. I can't really sell someone a necklace that will collect fuzz and stick to them!Natashalhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08176159532063740139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595462995395752860.post-54699263060283899102013-03-11T13:32:18.672-05:002013-03-11T13:32:18.672-05:00I love the glasses with the moustaches.

Some end up in the trash, others are worked into multi stone strands. I like the imperfect beads because they have character. Unfortunately customers would not always see it that way. :)Miss Val's Creationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11200441034267532187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595462995395752860.post-75614261218832811442013-03-11T12:04:47.243-05:002013-03-11T12:04:47.243-05:00The mustache glasses are so much fun.

Many retailers do this, so why not us? <br />My kids are a part of our creative process, and they make many Oopses. Most of these we gift to family and friends, but we have listed a couple before (and they did sell). I am one that would buy an Oops or imperfect item at a discounted price! Why not? I do the same thing at local retail stores at times too. =0)<br />~Kim2justByouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06569440913966464021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595462995395752860.post-12008671604755430832013-03-11T10:20:38.576-05:002013-03-11T10:20:38.576-05:00imperfect items that I make either go to the trash...imperfect items that I make either go to the trash, goodwill, or they go to friends as gifts.
