[Moderator's note: Ms Price is the vendor mentioned below. I'm seeing this post simply as a allegedly factual recount of Marie's experiences and hope there is truely no flame intended. BIG] Ms Price, This is not a flame letter to you or Marguerite. Yes,I wrote to Marguerite asking for a photo of your version. I even asked for a pattern, so I can help make them for shelters which they can sell or auction off. I was very shocked by her answer, but that is here or there. I have bought from her before. I have always shared my patterns with everyone that wanted the sleep sack/hammy's. Hey no big deal! I decided to buy one from you. You told me to pay thru paypal, after it was paid for you would send me pic of it. It was in August 10th-11th FML that Marguerite stated >A friend of mine one our Ferret Stuff for Sale Group makes something >very simlar. They are $25.00 each and that includes shipping. The >proceeds ar to go to help her with her new shelter (we all know how much >new shelters are need right now! Most shelters are maxed out right) >Here is her email address [log in to unmask] >She will forward the photo to you or can email me and will send you a >photo So how many people did you tell that they have to pay before they got the pic of your version or was it just me because I ask for a pattern. I don't buy items sight unseen, or use paypal because of the problems they seem to be having. I alway buy postal m.o. which can be cashed at the post office with any out fees, or interac, hyperwallet. Being a new shelter, I thought you might want extra items so you can sell them made by others. I always donate all my hammies to AFS and I will be donating to FerretAid too. If some remember the email from Barb Hoult (AFS) getting 3 big boxes filled with hammy's other goodies to be auction off.That was from me. I also buy from another person and I always add little more money than what my invoice is for. So I really see that you don't want sell your version of octoplay to me. Very poor busness ethics to have when you are starting a new shelter. You just lost a new customer....... This is not a flame towards you. Marie [Posted in FML issue 4977]
