Have you ever bought something a Mylotter was selling?

We have a lot of talented Mylotters who sell their work like books, art, fashion accessories, and more. I think it was about ten years ago I bought a a plastic bag crocheted purse from a Mylotter who is no longer here. You couldn’t tell at all that it was recycled plastic grocery bag, and I got so many compliments on it. Recently, I bought a noteboook with amazing art on it by a mylotter as a present for my niece Amyra, and I told a relative about a children’s book someone here wrote (their kids ended up loving it). I can’t afford to just spend money, so I only use my survey site money (and Mylot money, plus earned Amazon gift cards) to buy presents, and it was so cool that I “knew” people with such talent. So, I was wondering, have any of you ever bought anything from a Mylotter? What was it? *I ran this discussion by Alice (who okayed it), and said I would not mention people’s names or usernames nor promote certain items. So please don’t mention specifics either as I don’t want anyone to violate guidelines. Let’s just not get specific.

@RebeccasFarm Sometimes you have to wade through the BS on occasion, absolutely. It’s given out for free.

Yes, I bought a series of books from an author here. They were okay.

It’s really hard to know if a book is going to be good, isn’t it. I’m sure they appreciated your interest.

@DaddyEvil Is that why you said they were just okay? Were you being modest?

@AmbiePam I knew those books were good. I did the editing on them for her.

No, I've never bought anything from Mylotters, all the money I earn online goes towards food for us and supplies for the kritters. It's become so expensive to have cats, that damn litter can really get expensive.

I have not had a chance to buy any, mainly because I haven't had the privilege of meeting them or coming across them in their posts. I hope to encounter them soon, as I prefer and value something that is handmade.

Handmade things are pretty special, you’re right.

I have not, was, thinking about buying someones book but I do not read.

I know nothing to brag about. I read all the time but sitting down for hours reading drives me insane. I have had people offer to donate me money here, though. I never took them up on it because earned money is hard to make and they should not be wasting it on the likes of me. I never cared about money that much as long as I have enough to get by. It would be nice to have some so could go to certain places or even a concert here and there, but thats not anyone's problem but mine.

I never bought anything from myLotters. I live the other side of the ocean, shipping charges are more expensive than the products some sell.

@LadyDuck I wanted to send a tiny package to Africa, and the cost was thirty dollars! It’s crazy. So in Europe if you order a certain amount, you DON’T get free shipping? Or would you have to order a crazy amount to qualify?

@AmbiePam I agree, I used to order things from Amazon in the USA, but I stopped because of the shipping charges and the Customs duties.

I was so disappointed when she got banned. If we’re thinking about the same person that is.

I bought some crocheted items from a myLotter for Christmas presents one year (I think it may have been the same myLotter you bought from, as that person is no longer here). I also bought and downloaded on my Kindle a couple of books written by a current and active myLotter.

@moffittjc It must not have been the same person, you are right. I vaguely remember who you ARE talking about, and I remember being surprised by how good he was. My prejudiced mind never thought a guy would put in such an effort to get so good, but he really was.

It probably was the same person, and wasn’t she talented?

@AmbiePam Oh, maybe it wasn’t the same person. The myLotter I bought from was a guy in England

I have not purchased anything from another mylotter, but I would like to if I had the funds. I am currently saving money for my father's dialysis sessions and other essentials.

I completely understand.

How much does insurance cover? Does he have insurance?

@AmbiePam Unfortunately, he does not have insurance. We have to pay Php 600 or $12 per dialysis session and it should be done 3x per week.

I have bought a number of handmade items from a friend that used to participate here. I met her here then also met her in person. I am thinking she may have been your bag creator. She now has a small shop in her city at a place called The Vintage Market.
