I agree LS; but when you're in the 'selling' game no adjective is strong enough, and I've yet to meet successful business people who are'nt ruthless when it comes to flogging their products. One of the biggest incentives is making an item ""Limited Edition", and the 'once its gone, its gone' phrase - all marketing ploys to give you a sense of urgency to part with your cash. Strange dont you think how once a product is sold out, and then, miraculously there is an Advanced Orders list, again, another ploy to make you order straight away.
Yes, of course they are successful, they found a niche in the market to rival Steiff and other brands, and away they went, however, all the aaaaaaarrrrrrrhhhsss in the world doesn't make a piece of fabric have a "personality". If that were the case my front bedroom curtains have the most amazing sense of humour - I laugh everytime I look at them !!!!!!
