Hello, I’m Sharkic, but now I go by Shibanigans. This is an old beware and I’d like to clarify some points before I get more “wowee for $66USD this is pretty nice. Wow this suit was sold for 40x the original price ew” kind of comments.
I lived in Mexico still, and did not have a job by then (besides taking commissions), so most of the money, I saved up from my weekly allowance. As a 17 year old with no job and relying on commission work plus a weekly allowance, this was a huge luxury I was able to afford after a while. So $1,200MXN? Quite a high number compared to USD.
The buyer (which will remain anonymus), was notified of the initial price I paid for the suit, and agreed to the new price they were buying it for.
Dont know if the review can be edited, but I don’t really remember what number was set for the currency change back then. It could’ve been 14-16MXN per dollar, but don’t want to give false information. As for the conversion to the new owner, we discussed the price, and I was mainly selling him for 3 reasons:
-Didn’t use the character anymore.
-Didn’t use the suit that much and couldn’t take it with me.
-I was moving out of my country the following year, and wanted to find him a home as soon as possible.
The owner (who resides in the US) agreed to the terms, I’ve gathered all of the character’s art and have included more to the folder. I even offered doing 5 more pieces to the new owner, since they’d be tweaking some things in the body’s design and the character’s personality. I paid for the initial price (1,200MXN), the new owner paid for the new price (400USD); they were fully aware of this beware/review and agreed with it. You could say we built the beware together. I offered to lower the price on the suit, but they refused and still wanted to pay 400$ for it. I covered shipping costs.
Amina later made a Facebook post (vague post) of how I was “taking advantage of beginner makers and profiting off of it”, because I was selling it for more than what was originally paid. From her perspective as a maker, I’d understand, but this character had plenty of art pieces I made or commissioned, therefore reaching the price of $400USD. I was selling THE WHOLE CHARACTER, not just the suit.
When I commented on her post about how low quality the suit was, how the promised paws never arrived, how the suit was missing stuff she charged me EXTRA for, and overall how much of a terrible experience it had been, she immediately blocked me from the post. She was basically putting me “on blast”, not letting others see what the product actually looked like. Anyone that commented about the low quality or how “scammy” this thing felt, would get blocked from the post.
I did this beware as a customer, hoping she would grow and learn from this. It’s disappointing and sad to see no positive reviews from this maker. They’re talented, but they definitely do not like criticism and take it too personal.
