I know it very disappointing when something that you have spent sooo much time on goes for so little. I have had several go way too low. Keep your chin up. I don't start mine low anymore...
Good luck...

Hi there! I know the feeling about ebay sometimes. You work so hard on something and it may seem like a waste of time. I have felt that way before. Your custom looks like it took a lot of thought and of course time to do. I wish you better luck on your future customs! Don't give up on the thing you really like to do. Just wanted to pass along some support to ya!! Thanks so much ... the encouragement is ALWAYS appreciated. Now if I could just get my family feeling better so I can have a moment to get back to creating I would be back on track. Hope to be working on some more soon. Thanks again..hugs Tina =0)

Ahh, I understand what you mean. I think that's part of my own anxiety and why it's taking me so darn long to start my very first custom .. I have lots of creativity and ideas, but when I put my hands to it, the skill just lacks and it's never as brilliant as I imagine it in my head.. I think you're saying something similar for yourself? Correct me if I'm wrong, though. I do think little Marvin is brilliant still! I already know you're very skilled and I think what you've done IS brilliant! I'm sorry he didn't sell for as much, but don't give up! You're bound to see success w/ your future customs! As for the postitive/negative, I DO hear what you're saying- 100%! I've found that too, that when I'm around positive, supporting people, it's easier to be *more* positive myself. Although at times, it can backfire, b/c I'm also a contradictory person - always playing devil's advocate... if you're positive, it can cause me to react negatively -- even if I agree! It's very strange, lol, my fiancee and I were talking about that the other day. I'm an odd one, though, no use trying to sum it all up in a couple lines, heh! And yes, I agree- I do think treating others as you'd like to be treated is the best path to take! ;D I do hope you're able to move on past cute-and-wonderful-but-not-as-successful-as-you'd-like Marvin and come up with another creative and brilliant custom! You've got all the support and encouragement you could ask for right here! (The people here are just GREAT!) Mystic... you are an odd one, and it's funny becuase we sound like we are A LOT alike LOL! Just kidding about the odd part, but I know what you mean about all that you said. I will get over Marvin... just too many other things going on around me and you get caught up sometimes. My Mom just had surgery yesterday so Marvin is really unimportant at the moment. Just curious when your birthday is...suppose I could check your profile? I'm an aquarius.. you are just too funny =0) Thanks for the kind words of encouragement! Tina

I'm ok admitting it at least. Sorry to hear about your Mom.. my mom had cancer when I was only 9y/o, so I know all about the anxiety that can cause. She's fully recovered now, but every time I hear that she has a check up or anything is wrong, I get real nervous. My birthday is May 29... I'm a Gemini. That could explain it a little bit, lol.. both air signs anyway (I use to be obsessed with astrology in my later years of high school. I'm glad you find me amusing. Sometimes I intend to be, others it just sort of happens, lol. As long as I don't cause any bad feelings, I'm happy with it. Again, best wishes for your mom! Carly

I'm sorry he didn't do well. BF and I really liked it. I was bidding on him but we were away at auctions end or I would have been glad to try to win him. I think he is totally cute and very well done.

Carly Hey Carly...I forgot about writing on my thread..must be a sign of me getting OLD!!! You know my sister is a Gemini...that's too funny too. We didn't get along growing up but as I've gotten older and past the point of her bossing me around we've become close. My Mom came through her surgery but the anethesia made her really ill so they had to keep her overnight. It was very stressful for us all, I'm sick of hospitals and the lack of care they show for patients. Anyhow, she is home and doing better now. She was fussing at me today, and that shows she is feeling better. Suppose I should run..I could just stay on the forum..like I don't have 2 kids or a husband or a house to take care of...... etc... rather stay on the forum sometimes...he he Thanks again..Tina

I think he is totally cute and very well done. I wish you would have won him, it wouldn't have been so bad if someone on the forum family got him. Such a shame too... he ONLY sold for 16 dollars. And to think I'm working on more customs as we speak...what is wrong with me? LOL

I just wanted to chime in and say, please don't get discouraged by eBay sales. There are many reasons for an item to be sold at a lower price: auction's timing, unfamiliarity with an artist, inability to appreciate a custom up close...etc. All of which have nothing to do with your talent, which you've got loads of Did you know that Van Gogh only sold one painting during his lifetime? Talk about being unappreciated ;D But he still was BRILLIANT!!! Keep on making and creating I hope your Mom gets well very soon!

You are too kind, and I appreciate every last word of it. I got a creative streak in me right now so I better get on the ball while it lasts. Thanks so much for the encouragement..I think I need to start my items higher from now on, just so they won't sell for next to nothing. **My Mom has been fussing at me today so you know she is getting better...LOL..thanks for the well wishes though.
