One Man's Trash
You know Etsy, right? It's where hippies go to sell crafts when Burning Man isn't in session. Well, just because it's a "handmade good" doesn't mean it's actually "good." That's why there's Regretsy, a site that lives by the tag line: "Handmade? It looks like you made it with your feet."
Take this "plastic guinea pig" (which costs $10), for example. You can maybe try to convince me that this product is professional quality because of the fancy zigzag stitching. But the eyes were drawn on with a Sharpie marker, which kills it for me. Oh — also — the fact that it's a pizza roll bag.
It says there's only 1 in stock, but I think there's at least 5 more in the landfill.
