The Good, the Bad and the Ugly(Resellers)!

Have you checked out these websites about Etsy.com?

The Good:
http://etsysangels.blogspot.com/2008/06/welcome.html
The Bad:
http://etsybitch.blogspot.com/
The Ugly(Resellers):
http://flaggyetsy.blogspot.com/

Which one is your favorite?

I have to say even though I have only one complaint about Etsy, (taking forever to get rid of the shops that just don't belong or leaving ones that guarantee they made them themselves even though there is prove they didn't), I love reading Etsybitch! I also keep an eye on FlaggyEtsy too. Just in the past 2 days, in a matter of minutes, I have found 4 resellers, so if I can do it, why can't Etsy admin?

We aren't selling right now (due to my medical problems and husband's job). I have a lot of free time on my hands and am a big time lurker on the forums, sometimes I post but not often like some do. I have come to love the feature Pounce, have found so many new sellers/no sales sellers that I have added to my favorites and hope to some day purchase from them. My point of this is that I am always on Etsy looking around and I guess that is how I find all the resellers, now if Etsy would just hire somebody to do that, we the community wouldn't have to do all the flagging just to get frustrated when they aren't removed!

What are your thoughts on this subject?

flaggetsy is a great one! I'm never very good at finding the resellers everyone mentions, and it is very interesting to click into the links they post. Etsy Bitch is an interesting one that I read often, it has the possibility to be a good resource, or a bitter one, so I'm not sure about it all the way. Gorgeous carving here , btw!!

I haven't read the blogs, but they sound interesting..No matter what business you are in, there is always a few that don't live by the rules..Isn't it sad? Hope you are feeling better..
