They didnt use it inadvertently. The straight up told me they had a professional look at it which I severely doubt. Now that people have shown me what taxidermied roosters look like I know for sure it was 100 percent fake. Either way theyre not gonna be able to sell it at that price. They were cute and fun but not 30 dollars fun
Either way anything that’s been handled by a taxidermist properly would cost a lot more than $30. So...even if it was junk $30 isn’t much. It would probably cost a taxidermist almost $30 for the supplies just to stuff a rooster. Lol
I really wish I had taken a picture of it
It would have given everyone a better idea of what it looked like. It definately did not look like any of the photos we've seen. But I know I could make itself for under 30 because it is not taxidermy. Just need foam, wire and feathers...well those are free
Well some people have different standards. They may have thought they did a great job on it.I really wish I had taken a picture of it
It was an Estate Sale so it was more of an everything must go situation which is why the price was abhorrent. In most cases, or at least most estate sales I've been to, it's usually someone is either downsizing their home or has passed on. Most estate sales around here are run by a private company but this one was run by family members. They were also selling the house by owner. From the look of the items there I would define these people as "Gypsies". I mean no offense by that; where I'm at that's what we call "Popcorn Fest People". They're the people who put together arts and crafts and sell them at Popcorn Fest to FIPS (our word for people from Illinois) at outlandish prices. For those who don't know: Orville Redenbacher was born in Indiana and every year we have Popcorn fest which used to be all about the popcorn. Now it is no better than a sad sack of a fair and the only people who visit are mostly out of towners. They litter, let their dogs poop everywhere, disrupt traffic and spend a ton of money on knick knacks. Since Popcorn Fest was cancelled due to Covid a LOT of the gypsies have been selling their wares disguised as "Pop up shops"and "garage sales". The big difference is that at a garage sale people are trying to get rid of their stuff so they will sell it for cheap. That's part of the reason I go to stuff like that. I'm more likely to spend 5 bucks on a craft project that someone else created than 30. If it's not something I NEED to have I refuse to spend more that 10 bucks. I'm pretty proud of the stuff I have made as well; I make and sell t-shirt quilts by order. But my prices are all based on materials and labor. If you are selling something second hand you can't possibly know what would have been charged for that.Well some people have different standards. They may have thought they did a great job on it.
All I know is now I want this hideous overpriced stuffed bird just as a conversation piece.
I know right!!! I have half a mind to go back tomorrow. If, for nothing else, to get a picture of the thing!All I know is now I want this hideous overpriced stuffed bird just as a conversation piece.
Yep sounds like they were trying to get as much as possible for everything.
All I can say is WOW! Well I can say a lot more, but .............I started to say, I won't, but I'm gonna. If the mods/owners allow this statement to stand, then I'm outta here. This does not need to belong in this forum. This is racism in it's purest form.
