Lobster Bisque

 Today with a half hour left to go on a very large antique doll, I get a rather insulting ask from a potential buyer.

In the description I photograph and describe damage to the back of an arm. This maroon asks me to discount it and add buy it now because the arm is "extensively" damaged. Bitch, I OWN the doll, I can see for myself that the damage is not extensive - it's a 1/4 hole poked into the composition, not to mention it's covered by the fucking outfit it's wearing. 

A few days ago I had someone asking if the stringing was so loose that it could not be posed - I had said that it was loose in the listing! Loose means loose. I am so fucking sick of people trying to finagle discounts using things I've already described as excuses for it.

You know what, assholes? I saw the issues, I photographed and pointed them out and PRICED THE FUCKING DOLL ACCORDINGLY. Normally this same doll pulls $250-$500 - I priced this bastard at only $150ish and charged flat rate shipping which would would have killed me financially if someone on the west coast had won it. No. I will not be "discounting" it thank you very much.

I ended the fucking auction, took the fuckin' doll's clothes off and repaired it myself in 5 minutes with a small piece of milliput. Now I am going to tighten the stringing, make it a new wig with mohair yarn, style it better than the synthetic one that it has and raise the price by $50. I was willing to let it go for less because I was like "eh" about doing that stuff but now that I have cheapasses coming out of the woodwork, I'll go ahead and spend that 20 minutes and raise the damned price to what it should be.
