Me too. I crochet and I know how expensive yarn can be and how long these projects can take. And she’s very very good. Her projects are very neat and clean 👌🏼
Yarn actually are rather expensive so i doubt there are much profit as it is for 15$. I crochet myself in denmark and unless yarn are Way more expensive here its not something you Can earn much from its most for fun. She is doing fine work❤
@@mongrel1308 I understand it’s a dollar, but that’s a dollar less she could’ve gotten for her hard work. It takes hours, days, weeks, to make that much stuff for a shop. A dollar is more than kind.

@@NoelledhWithout a doubt. Have you seen the cost of yarn like that? Or considered how long it takes to make those things? If you wanna be cheap, get a stuffed animal from the fair or Walmart that’ll fall apart
Nah I’ve got stuffed animals of nice quality for a reasonable price that never fell apart for less than $20. Why do people apply to a costlier price instead of reasonable prices? I think 15$ for that stuffed animal is a reasonably good price because of that size and it’s just a stuffed animal without anything else..
Did you even watch the video? He gave 30 bucks which he clearly had enough for he was basically just pretending to not have enough because thats what he does. Its hard to explain but yk 😅
There whole sale from China she pays 10 each and has to make 5 profit or her pimp well destroy her face. They are handmade but by child labor in China smfh.
Maybe I'm on different culture or some, but as a seller, you should've raise your price higher than what it's worth of your hardwork, maybe 2-5 dollars depending on what are you selling. That way, if people want to negotiate the price down, you can accept the offer without losing yourself.
Truly! I love to crochet myself and have been selling a few things and as much as I wish I could sell things for a much cheaper price the cost of materials is more than you’d think plus it takes a good deal of time. I’m very grateful you understand that 😊
Right?? I dont crochet but just imagining the time and effort it takes to make even a small plush gives me a headache already. Not only are crochet pieces very nice, but the people who make them are also insanely hardworking
No, he was pushing the boundaries and she caved bc he was being pushy. He was rude to her at first and she was too nice to be rude back. She pushed back until he stepped too far over the line. Her plushies are worth more than what she is selling for.

A lot of people don’t understand the time it takes to crochet things and how long it can take to get good at it as well as the yarn that needs to be bough
The yarn is available in thrift stores very reasonable. If you chose this to make money it won’t work. If you want to make use of your time volunteer for seniors . Shopping for them get them to doctors apts visit in hospitals or nursing homes. The pay is in helping others and the gratitude they have for your help.

Not to mention the time and work in knitting/crocheting, and the muscular exhaustion that exists. I have many friends who have undergone surgery after injuring themselves crocheting quickly and exhaustively to deliver an order on time. But people think that this is "just a hobby" and what we ask for as payment is "too expensive".
As a crocheter , we get everyone wanting everything for free and half the price. I’ve tried selling my things because it’s my hobby. But, I always end up losing out. Even on the days it would’ve been nice to have extra cash… but oh well. That’s why I just gave up.
@@SixWeeksEarly i know right!? My coworkers keep asking me go sell my crochet but they don't realise how cheap ppl are ..also work hours are also a thing :(
PLEASE don’t make people uncomfortable like that. I know it’s for a second that your trying to negotiate to sound bad but that probably broke her heart because HOURS of work and practice goes into those pieces. That’s art, don’t pretend to disrespect it
He wasn’t pretending to disrespect it he was also joking around by the tone of his voice. I crochet aswell and if someone was saying that I would stand my ground and joke around with him too
It’s negotiating, u should do it any time you’re buying from anything other than a big box store. Basic business, the other persons comfort is not my concern, not even slightly
@@Kozycz Your carence of money should not be the seller's concern either. They have their prices, respect them or buy something cheaper. Why a big box store deserves more respect than a small vendor?
i’m actually really glad she didn’t back down. As artists, you’re always faced with people saying your labor should be free or they get mad when you list your pricing. She was nervous, but knew the worth of her work!
I am forever explaining to people that you're paying for more than just the supplies it took to make the item. Once it's broken down for people- all the years of experience, high quality materials (plush yarns aren't cheap man), time to make the item, wear and tear on someone's body/eyesight, tools or learning materials/patterns, etc, they usually are more understanding of what they consider to be a "high" price.
same! I miss the old times of being a traveling merchant and haggling and bargaining, knowing the worth of your work and products is key to a wonderful business! If only we brought back that old cultureeee 😭 it seriously is so much better than these corporations blegh🙄🙄
You can clearly tell how uncomfortable she was the entire time. Regardless of the intent he had for the end, it’s still messed up - & most definitely just for views so ppl know how ‘nice’ of a guy he is
@@roachdope exactly. I felt so gross watching her from his POV… like idk how he can keep a straight face or keep going seeing her be so visibly disturbed and uncomfortable. And then barely compensate her afterwards 😂😂
@@nofacenofacetrinity exaaactlyyyy😭 that’s what a loooot of men don’t understand, just because women are smiling and nodding does not mean that they are comfortable. a lot of the times, you have to nod along and just go with it as a regard to your own safety because of men/towards men. It’s a fucked up reality
And all yarn really costs. I crochet. My thing used to be afghans and matching pillows. Shawls. Purses. Baby blankets. Labor and cost. You won't recupe your cost. Know anything you buy is made with love.
Exactly..its an expense buying yarns..they are so expensive theses days and the work that goes into..the time..there is no negotiating for products that are handmade😊
yea this is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo true
i really dont understand why he needed to hustle first. why he felt the need to make a person uncomfortable before hitting them with "it was a joke! here have money", its childish and unnecessary. she vas very sweet and polite, definitely didn't deserve to have someone underestimate her hard work even as a "joke"
well atleast he gave someone money while you are here probably just scrolling whining and complaining about what you want to see in a public video platform.
@@jprobles4152 why are you using the same comment over and over again. Also the guy is on the wrong. No matter how much money he gives her that doesn't mean he didn't make her uncomfortable
Bro should have quit trying to hustle when she kept saying it was 15 and VISIBLY getting uncomfortable, he should have been respectful and proud she stood her ground and still given her money for even being so polite about it and realizing she puts so much effort into it. Hustling for this shit is just plain rude and basically saying your work isn't worth that much right to their face.
Could also spread kindness by giving her the extra money without making her uncomfortable with the negotiation stuff first. Not sure I understand why we gotta knock her down first before we build her up.
I agree. that behavior was gross and tacky, and having been in her shoes I'd have probably turned down the "gift". I make a personal principle to keep my prices fair, therefore I don't need neither haggling nor charity, especially from someone who just tried to mug me, thank you very much.
Comepletely agree.. he’s not spreading happiness he’s just being plain rude and then expects her to feel grateful after. Probably didn’t even ask if he could film her either.
EXACTLY! As a crocheter (aka hooker lol) I was a bit appalled because crocheting is hard and takes time. There are no machines that can do a crochet stitch (as there are for knitting.) so offering less is offensive.

@@elmaschimba963they aren’t soft, this asshole content creator is the soft one trying to monetize some other people’s hard work, all so he can come out of it looking like the bigger person.
I like that she stood her ground. At one of my recent shows, I was so desperate for a sale that I took a customer's low-ball offer, and felt bad about it for the rest of the show.
People don’t understand the work that goes into art. They see something that looks mass produced and don’t understand the artistry that does into hand making something that is so over saturated and uninspired in our society.
As someone who crochets I can promise her prices are fair. I have to order my yarn online and it's not cheap. I see people selling themselves short online and it's put me off trying to sell my toys. I've been crocheting since I was 18 and I'm 43 now. Good on her and thank you for recognising the value of her work ❤❤❤
Yeah my girlfriend crochets and it takes so long to make stuffed animals and various things. I can't believe he doesn't want to pay $15. It's really not that expensive. She's making like $0.10 per hour at that rate 🙄

This one feels really off to me bc he is basically guilt tripping her into lowering the prices and crocheting takes a lot of time and effort so the price is ok
i saw the guilt in her eyes when you offered to pay less. you put her in a extremely awkward situation. even if you gave her more afterwards, it’s still rlly messed up. please don’t do this.
@@socorrespecial That's literally what haggling is. You ask for a lower price, and if they refuse, you ask for a slightly higher than you previously requested. Any vendor should expect a customer would eventually do that. You people need to realize that there will always be situations in life that could make you uncomfortable, but that doesn't necessarily mean you should avoid it. Learn to cope with it.
Very proud of her for not selling herself short. It is so hard when you know you want to make a sale, but you made those things, directly. They came from you--and that time is precious too. That was lovely what he did for her at the end.
Ikr, and the overused sad music on top just adds to the cringe. Just be kind, dude. No need to showcase it in order to feel validated by the rest of the internet.
I don’t know how kind of a gesture this actually was He made her extremely uncomfortable, then gave her $30 and a self-congratulatory “just spreading kindness”
$15 minus materials means she is paying herself less than $5/hr. Even less if she had to pay to set up her table there. If you cannot pay that, move along.
yeah like obviously at the end of a video he seems like a great guy for giving her $30 but it gave me the ick that the bit was he was hustling her 🫠 like why couldnt u just buy one of the plushies and paid her $30… o wait i know why its for The Content and for the comments like mine that complain about it lmao
@@catgash Unfortunately not every viewer will make the connection that the unnecessary drama is for views and may emulate this behavior themselves. I wish people realized, if they are going to produce content that builds a large following, they need to be more responsible about how others see them treat people. This video is just a mild example of disrespect. There are many much worse.
Seriously!!!!! People really drive me nuts I know some people that will go to places just to haggle as a sport for fun because they enjoy it. I want to vomit when people do that especially if they have the money and don’t need to be doing it. i’m so sorry I didn’t end up working out. People suck sometimes and ruin a good thing😞 I hope you at least still enjoy doing it for fun. Great gifts for family and friends.❤
Please don't do this. Please. Artists already have a hard time getting paid fairly for their work. She was so uncomfortable with you haggling with her. Even if you had given her money afterwards, it still sets a bad example towards other people that if you push artists hard enough they will give you discounts against their own volition. Please dont put people in uncomfortable positions just for content. People deserve kindness regardless of whether or not they give into your attempts to haggle. Edit: it seems people think this comment is against haggling. It's not. I live in asia and I haggle a ton. I have nothing against it as long as it's done in a space where haggling is accepted and the person I'm haggling with is okay with it. But this person is obviously not okay with it. She said no the first few times and even said there's no negotiating so he just blatantly ignored her wishes for content and that's what I have a problem with, especially as other people already tend to undervalue artists so watching this video could make them feel like it's okay to do this with other artists as well.
Yes what this guy is doing makes her feel uncomfortable and he shouldn't be making videos about this ik he's trying to be kind but personally I wouldn't like this to happen to me
I honestly understand her process. Crochet its that simple, and to make cute little figures out of them takes a lot of skill and talent, her prices are quite reasonable
One thing I want to say to the world? Don't f*king low ball artists! We work our asses off and most of us don't even ask as much as we should for our hard work because we know people also work hard for their money and then there's people like you! Ugh
She would have felt more blessed with kindness if you had just bought two of the $15 plushies versus harassing her over one just to give her a “tip”. This is not kindness… it’s harassment. You clearly stressed her out and made her feel bad the whole time. Just buy two and let her have her day of having sold those two without stress.
You are absolutely right. however if the creator did exactly what you said he wouldn't recieve the amount of views he's getting now :) just the nature of 'kindness' content
As someone who crochets I’m VERY glad he gave her the extra money. That octopus(?) was 15 and was honestly priced low already. The labor and material cost is definitely worth more than that. I really hope her crochet business booms because her plushies are super cute ❤
I’m a vendor at festivals and $15 for her product is crazy low. I know people who sell this kind of stuff for $30 and up. I made friendship bracelets that take 5-8 hours to make and sell them for $10 to $40 depending on how much effort it took
Taking her time and energy by negotiating her boundaries, then tipping her a tiny amount, and then posting and monetizing it on RUclips has nothing to do with spreading kindness. It's thinly veiled extraction.
It’s the way he does videos don’t like it move on …. He always gives way more after , lord than I’m sure you will ever give anyone ! He sees if ur worth giving you the $$$.. Even if she hadn’t dropped it 1$ IM SURE BECAUSE HES DONE IT BEFORE HE WOULD HABE BOUGHT IT AND GABE THE 30 anyway ! Something you’d never do in ur life !

@@paulap4546 why? Do you not follow this guy or your new and just comm eating off 1 video , seems like it …. Smh! Be nice as this lady said . Even if they aren’t able to drop the price he always ends up buying and giving more. Somthing I’m sure you and most wouldn’t do
Really wanted her to just be like 'yeah i don't do haggling or gaslighty manipulation to make you look like a saint. I'm not saying 'sorry' for my prices, have a day'.
I'm starting a crochet business! The reason she said no to 10 dollars is because she's selling it for 15 thats how much it is to make it and if she sells it for less then she wouldn't be making it all back crochet is expensive Edit: please stop fighting! Thanks for the likes!❤
I could buy that yarn for 7$ and use half of it and make that octopus in 1 hour, act like it takes a village to make it seem like they’re getting a good deal
@meatbalking5 That was probably 1 and half skeins which is $4 a skein or more, plus the hooks, plus the eyes, plus the stuffing, plus it actually takes a couple hours and people deserve more than a couple cents for their time. If she's doing this as a job she's making little profit, if she is doing it as a hobby and just selling what she makes she MIGHT be making pocket change. As someone who crochets and is from Canada, this is expensive to make
Devaluing the work she has done and then giving more is rude Those things probably cost her the amount she is selling them in yarn, she probably is getting no money for her skills or work/time.
yeah I thought this was weird. it was rude, no one should be expected to take low ball offers on their work. and rewarding her with an extra $15? that’s probably closer to what she actually should have charged
You could have just given her the money instead of trying to haggle she looked rly awkward but still sweet ig . So glad someone is out there doing things like this still
As an avid crocheter this felt gross, not kind. Filming yourself make someone super uncomfortable and then turning around and saying your spreading kindness is weird. I wouldn’t want someone posting my discomfort on the internet for views.
This comment has nothing to do with you crocheting, so I'm not sure why you shoehorned that in. Also, nobody cares, you can film whoever you want, if you don't like it, whatever. Deal with it.
Doing crochet is just a beautiful work of art, and you should never try to belittle their work by asking them to sell their work for less. It takes them time to make their work. My mom does crochet mostly for fun now because she got tired of people telling her work was overpriced , and trying to negotiate her prices. She has made me so many stuff over the years. Those are like treasures to me. I love every single thing she has made for me.
everyone remember that while a machine can absolutely knit, only a human can make crochet. it deserves the utmost respect and every crochet piece you find at yard sales or thrift stores was made by someone putting hours of their life into it.
Surprised I scrolled this far for this comment. Every cheap crochet piece sold by a fast fashion vendor, was handmade by someone making pennies to their dollar
If you were really spreading kindness you should've just tipped extra from the beginning without haggling and without videoing it. Do you want her to learn that if she relents and lowers her price she will be rewarded? Only people with a weird god-complex would do that.
I agree he put her out of her comfort zone . Handmade materials are the number one materials. She took a lot of time and investment to make those. She actually deserves more
@@whitwat The "god-complex" I refer to is when one gets kicks out of controlling another person's life and death. Although, this is way smaller in scale and I could be wrong about the guy's intentions, it's the idea of "I can bring you to heaven or hell with just a few words" that makes his actions look like a god-complex.
@@kaylee9456Making somebody uncomfortable just for a $15 tip is kindness? I mean it would be if he didn’t film this and upload it on RUclips just so he can get more money.
That’s degradation? I don’t feel he was degrading her at all. He complimented her crochet work and gave more than her stated price. Plus a social media shoutout which can be a large help these days.
This is so weird and gross to do to people. Like I’m glad that the ‘twist’ is that he overpays, but as someone who’s sold at craft fairs myself, can we not harass the vendors for content please??
@@chilliblues Yeaah, no. Kindness is paying your local artisans and small businesses the price they ask and not being a dick about it. Most of these people already price their work way lower than they probably should, because it's not like crafts are a necessity, the prices are already set low so they have a chance to even sell anything. A lot of the time, haggling puts people in a position where they feel pressured to agree just to make A sale if they're desperate enough. Just don't do this. Pay the price they ask and tip extra if you want, to appreciate their work.
I'm glad she didn't just go down to 10$. It's not just because it's a little crocheted product. She put her time in it, her efforts, her TALENT! That alone is worth so much, and all of that should be respected.
Once a friend of mine asked me to make her something I offered for sale. I made it, asked her for £18 (which was the price the whole time) and she kicked up a fuss until I lowered it down to £12. What she didnt consider was buying the yarn, the safety eyes, the time it took to make and build the toy, the stuffing and the shipping. I learned a valuable lesson that day; simply say no if they cant afford it at the price that has been set.
She’s an artist. They can put whatever price they want. She took time to do it with her own hands. Let’s say it took her two hours that’s making minimum wage just to be haggled. You’re worried about not looking cheap but baby 😂
well atleast he gave someone money while you are here probably just scrolling whining and complaining about what you want to see in a public video platform.
@@Music_loverr03 I’m complaining about him being condescending and patting himself on the back for it, was my comment not clear ? this guy only does it so he can film it for clout anyway. y’all chose a weird hill to die on. i shouldn’t have to explain why “hustling” a small business and trying to get them to lower the price is a dick move, but maybe you’re also the kind of people to do that

Bless a vendor by crossing all of her boundaries and making her compromise her way of providing for herself so you can save a dollar on a PLUSH to THEN reward her IF she gives in. Don't do this.
at least she got something extra in the first place, she’s clearly grateful even for that small amount, what are you expecting a thousand bucks?? like money doesn’t grow on trees, even for RUclipsrs
As my teacher said when I was still studying, refrain huggling prices from craftsman store especially street sellers (not in store) because all products are from their hands and consume time, moreover the costs of the raw materials. Nice watermelon, ice creams, cookies.
I can’t stand these videos! He says “I wanted to bless a vendor today” but first he wanted to haggle the price, and make her uncomfortable. How about just bless them then! 🤷🏼♀️ Your teacher was wise! I don’t make anything with my hands but I’d never haggle someone over theirs! Just plain rude!
Hand crafts are actually really hard this price is lower than average. It's ok to bargain on other stuff but i feel like bargaining on someone's hand work breaks their heart a little. It's like you're saying "that's worth less than the price you have"
You can tell she’s been nice to too many people by the way she said no. She wanted to say yes but she needed to stick to her word even if it made her feel bad. But aww I’m glad you blessed her ❤️ she deserves it.
I'm proud of her because you could tell it made her uncomfortable to say no but she struck to her guns anyway. She knows her worth and how long it can take to crochet some of the things she makes. Proud of her.
You should never ask to lower the price of something handmade by an artist Its so hard to set boundaries and the concept of a random guy tricking an artist to break their limits …to ending up rewarding them for so Is weird to me
She’s really freaking good at those! And her prices are not expensive at all, there was a pop up tent for them at a fair I went too here in New York and I paid $20 for a small dinky little crochet Pokémon character 😂 those things take time and skill
This isn’t kindness. You made this woman feel so uncomfortable then offered her the payment she already deserved as a way to make it seem better or like kindness. You shouldn’t haggle people then go well I’m just being kind so here’s some extra money, it makes it awkward as hell for them and in that case, that’s a nice encounter she could’ve lived without.

The price of yarn can be crazy and the time that is put in to make something
@@SixWeeksEarly i know right!? My coworkers keep asking me go sell my crochet but they don't realise how cheap ppl are ..also work hours are also a thing :(
Not many people appreciate the hard work that goes into hand crafted items, whether it’s sewing, crochet, carpentry, etc. 💜
Running a business is not easy. One of the number one rules to running a business is don’t become a charity. ❤
PLEASE don’t make people uncomfortable like that. I know it’s for a second that your trying to negotiate to sound bad but that probably broke her heart because HOURS of work and practice goes into those pieces. That’s art, don’t pretend to disrespect it
Yes and I agree again I understand that it was only for a few seconds but might as well just get the 7 dollar one than the 15
He wasn’t pretending to disrespect it he was also joking around by the tone of his voice. I crochet aswell and if someone was saying that I would stand my ground and joke around with him too
It's ok bc she was still so happy to work with him and even more great greatful at the end. I think it should only be offensive to sensible ppl
It’s negotiating, u should do it any time you’re buying from anything other than a big box store. Basic business, the other persons comfort is not my concern, not even slightly
@@Kozycz Your carence of money should not be the seller's concern either. They have their prices, respect them or buy something cheaper. Why a big box store deserves more respect than a small vendor?
Her sticking to her prices is not being unkind, it's having respect for herself and her work.
He was teasing her for the video. This sucks
i’m actually really glad she didn’t back down. As artists, you’re always faced with people saying your labor should be free or they get mad when you list your pricing. She was nervous, but knew the worth of her work!
She literally did back down though, she lowered her price.
@@MatSmithLondonby one dollar, not five. And that's probably because she was uncomfortable by him pushing.
I am forever explaining to people that you're paying for more than just the supplies it took to make the item. Once it's broken down for people- all the years of experience, high quality materials (plush yarns aren't cheap man), time to make the item, wear and tear on someone's body/eyesight, tools or learning materials/patterns, etc, they usually are more understanding of what they consider to be a "high" price.
same! I miss the old times of being a traveling merchant and haggling and bargaining, knowing the worth of your work and products is key to a wonderful business! If only we brought back that old cultureeee 😭 it seriously is so much better than these corporations blegh🙄🙄
That’s not artists that’s called life. I’m an electrician, no one ever agrees to pay they always haggle. Get out of your bubble
He stressed her the hell out and then gave her a lil tip afterwards hell no 😂😂😂 what a kind guy! 🙄
More like manipulative
And films it all and posts it on RUclips for the views and likes to show off how kind he is
You can clearly tell how uncomfortable she was the entire time. Regardless of the intent he had for the end, it’s still messed up - & most definitely just for views so ppl know how ‘nice’ of a guy he is
@@roachdope exactly. I felt so gross watching her from his POV… like idk how he can keep a straight face or keep going seeing her be so visibly disturbed and uncomfortable. And then barely compensate her afterwards 😂😂
@@nofacenofacetrinity exaaactlyyyy😭 that’s what a loooot of men don’t understand, just because women are smiling and nodding does not mean that they are comfortable. a lot of the times, you have to nod along and just go with it as a regard to your own safety because of men/towards men. It’s a fucked up reality
as a crochet artist, she deserves every penny of her effort. this sht isn’t easy lol.
Frr it would take like 5 hours to make that octopus
It really isn’t I can make a chain but going back I can’t get the double stich
Tbh when u get use to it it’s pretty easy at least for me
@@florriewcue5 hours?! I’m impressed! It would take me ALLLL day 😃
@@ninipaninix That feels kinda rude to me at least
despite her being the sweetest ever, when boy got to "wha bout $14?" she was literally brutally murdering him in her mind by that point
I wish I could do it 🤤
no she just didnt want to say no bc she wanted to be nice
Yeah she was curing
Daily reminder that there is NO machine that can crochet. Respect the artists and all the hard work that goes into every stitch 💕
I keep saying this and people just do not seem to understand! There are ones that can knit but, not crochet.
Exactly. There is also no machine that can weave baskets. They are all handmade. Somewhere. Mostly by women and we know how "much" they get paid...
And all yarn really costs. I crochet. My thing used to be afghans and matching pillows. Shawls. Purses. Baby blankets. Labor and cost. You won't recupe your cost. Know anything you buy is made with love.
Exactly..its an expense buying yarns..they are so expensive theses days and the work that goes into..the time..there is no negotiating for products that are handmade😊

I want to bless a vendor today by making them feel extremely uncomfortable before hand
i really dont understand why he needed to hustle first. why he felt the need to make a person uncomfortable before hitting them with "it was a joke! here have money", its childish and unnecessary. she vas very sweet and polite, definitely didn't deserve to have someone underestimate her hard work even as a "joke"
Lol 😅❤
well atleast he gave someone money while you are here probably just scrolling whining and complaining about what you want to see in a public video platform.
snowflake
@@jprobles4152 why are you using the same comment over and over again. Also the guy is on the wrong. No matter how much money he gives her that doesn't mean he didn't make her uncomfortable
Bro should have quit trying to hustle when she kept saying it was 15 and VISIBLY getting uncomfortable, he should have been respectful and proud she stood her ground and still given her money for even being so polite about it and realizing she puts so much effort into it. Hustling for this shit is just plain rude and basically saying your work isn't worth that much right to their face.
The last thing you said is a good point I'm not sure I thought about.
Imagine complaining about a completely harmless and even productive/wholesome interaction.
Get a life dud you're a sad man
Could also spread kindness by giving her the extra money without making her uncomfortable with the negotiation stuff first. Not sure I understand why we gotta knock her down first before we build her up.
Thats what I'm saying! It really bothered me that you have to haggle to prove is someone is "nice" or not
I agree.
that behavior was gross and tacky, and having been in her shoes I'd have probably turned down the "gift".
I make a personal principle to keep my prices fair, therefore I don't need neither haggling nor charity, especially from someone who just tried to mug me, thank you very much.
you’re right. this is disgusting i hate this man.
Agreed...this was ridiculous
Comepletely agree.. he’s not spreading happiness he’s just being plain rude and then expects her to feel grateful after. Probably didn’t even ask if he could film her either.
She was the only one showing kindness. A person who filmed was just showing off.
if you really wanted to spread kindness, you shouldn't have haggled her to try to undersell her work in the first place.
EXACTLY! As a crocheter (aka hooker lol) I was a bit appalled because crocheting is hard and takes time. There are no machines that can do a crochet stitch (as there are for knitting.) so offering less is offensive.
Or recorded her
This is why people make videos to teach kindness not to just make it for money and views they just wanna spread kindess
@@vickiwaatti1076and not everybody has the same feelings as you just because you do the same hobby as her it doesn’t mean she’s also gonna feel offended geez you stupid ppl…

You didn’t have to negotiate the price before doing this. All it did was make her feel guilty and bad probably . It was a nice gesture but she works hard & puts a lot of time in her work.

As someone who crochets I can promise her prices are fair. I have to order my yarn online and it's not cheap. I see people selling themselves short online and it's put me off trying to sell my toys. I've been crocheting since I was 18 and I'm 43 now. Good on her and thank you for recognising the value of her work ❤❤❤
Yeah, she honestly could sell them for more.
Yeah my girlfriend crochets and it takes so long to make stuffed animals and various things. I can't believe he doesn't want to pay $15. It's really not that expensive. She's making like $0.10 per hour at that rate 🙄

Yea her prices are so reasonable too. I’ve been to places where they cost even more. That’s a nice deal for $15
i saw the guilt in her eyes when you offered to pay less. you put her in a extremely awkward situation. even if you gave her more afterwards, it’s still rlly messed up. please don’t do this.
Bargaining the price isn't a new thing and it isn't rude. People do it all the time and if the vendor doesn't want to bargain they can refuse.
@@myouniverse0613the thing is she rejected it the first time and he kept pushing it despite her being clearly uncomfortable.
@@socorrespecial That's literally what haggling is. You ask for a lower price, and if they refuse, you ask for a slightly higher than you previously requested. Any vendor should expect a customer would eventually do that. You people need to realize that there will always be situations in life that could make you uncomfortable, but that doesn't necessarily mean you should avoid it. Learn to cope with it.
Bargaining has been around for bargaining or thousands of years . And remember that at one point EVERYTHING was handmade
@@socorrespecialbeing uncomfortable is being human. If you life a life where your never uncomfortable you aren’t living in the real world
Very proud of her for not selling herself short. It is so hard when you know you want to make a sale, but you made those things, directly. They came from you--and that time is precious too. That was lovely what he did for her at the end.
Trying to haggle down the price of someone’s artwork to their face is not kindness.
"I'm just spreading kindness." When you try to turn your life into a platitude instead of simply being that.

Thank you. This was uncomfortable just to watch..
I don’t know how kind of a gesture this actually was
He made her extremely uncomfortable, then gave her $30 and a self-congratulatory “just spreading kindness”
A lot of people don’t understand people that crochet are making far below minimum wage of any kind. Don’t try to screw them over
$15 minus materials means she is paying herself less than $5/hr. Even less if she had to pay to set up her table there. If you cannot pay that, move along.
yeah like obviously at the end of a video he seems like a great guy for giving her $30 but it gave me the ick that the bit was he was hustling her 🫠 like why couldnt u just buy one of the plushies and paid her $30… o wait i know why its for The Content and for the comments like mine that complain about it lmao
@@catgash Unfortunately not every viewer will make the connection that the unnecessary drama is for views and may emulate this behavior themselves. I wish people realized, if they are going to produce content that builds a large following, they need to be more responsible about how others see them treat people. This video is just a mild example of disrespect. There are many much worse.

Crappy people willing to do this for real wouldn’t get the idea of a short clip…they would do it regardless.
Seriously!!!!! People really drive me nuts I know some people that will go to places just to haggle as a sport for fun because they enjoy it. I want to vomit when people do that especially if they have the money and don’t need to be doing it. i’m so sorry I didn’t end up working out. People suck sometimes and ruin a good thing😞 I hope you at least still enjoy doing it for fun. Great gifts for family and friends.❤
Please don't do this. Please. Artists already have a hard time getting paid fairly for their work. She was so uncomfortable with you haggling with her. Even if you had given her money afterwards, it still sets a bad example towards other people that if you push artists hard enough they will give you discounts against their own volition. Please dont put people in uncomfortable positions just for content. People deserve kindness regardless of whether or not they give into your attempts to haggle.
Edit: it seems people think this comment is against haggling. It's not. I live in asia and I haggle a ton. I have nothing against it as long as it's done in a space where haggling is accepted and the person I'm haggling with is okay with it. But this person is obviously not okay with it. She said no the first few times and even said there's no negotiating so he just blatantly ignored her wishes for content and that's what I have a problem with, especially as other people already tend to undervalue artists so watching this video could make them feel like it's okay to do this with other artists as well.

I prefer that people pay the prices i have instead of negotiating much more than getting a tip.
Haggling is the most disrespectful move to sellers especially to their face 😅
I honestly understand her process. Crochet its that simple, and to make cute little figures out of them takes a lot of skill and talent, her prices are quite reasonable
I'm sorry but I would've been like "why did you ask for a lower price then.." 😂😭💀
One thing I want to say to the world? Don't f*king low ball artists! We work our asses off and most of us don't even ask as much as we should for our hard work because we know people also work hard for their money and then there's people like you! Ugh

As someone who crochets I would be so damn offended. Haggling with ANY crafter is just a no-no… I can’t even IMAGINE being this disrespectful.
Eight years man, im so proud of her. She is a real strong woman. God bless her
She would have felt more blessed with kindness if you had just bought two of the $15 plushies versus harassing her over one just to give her a “tip”. This is not kindness… it’s harassment. You clearly stressed her out and made her feel bad the whole time. Just buy two and let her have her day of having sold those two without stress.
Exactly
You are absolutely right. however if the creator did exactly what you said he wouldn't recieve the amount of views he's getting now :) just the nature of 'kindness' content

As someone who crochets I’m VERY glad he gave her the extra money. That octopus(?) was 15 and was honestly priced low already. The labor and material cost is definitely worth more than that. I really hope her crochet business booms because her plushies are super cute ❤
My daughter bought a similar one for $30
I’m a vendor at festivals and $15 for her product is crazy low. I know people who sell this kind of stuff for $30 and up. I made friendship bracelets that take 5-8 hours to make and sell them for $10 to $40 depending on how much effort it took
Oh wow dude I sell my octopuses that kinda look like that for 15 and I honestly have never seen one for much more than that
I was about to say I bought mine for $35, then again I was at a tourist beach town 😂 I never bought one so I’m not familiar w pricing
Taking her time and energy by negotiating her boundaries, then tipping her a tiny amount, and then posting and monetizing it on RUclips has nothing to do with spreading kindness. It's thinly veiled extraction.

@meatbalking5 That was probably 1 and half skeins which is $4 a skein or more, plus the hooks, plus the eyes, plus the stuffing, plus it actually takes a couple hours and people deserve more than a couple cents for their time.

Yes, it seems like gaslighting.
Doing crochet is just a beautiful work of art, and you should never try to belittle their work by asking them to sell their work for less. It takes them time to make their work.

do u get a good bit of crochet videos recommended to you by RUclips?
Ppl don't understand how expensive yarn is 😭
everyone remember that while a machine can absolutely knit, only a human can make crochet. it deserves the utmost respect and every crochet piece you find at yard sales or thrift stores was made by someone putting hours of their life into it.
Surprised I scrolled this far for this comment. Every cheap crochet piece sold by a fast fashion vendor, was handmade by someone making pennies to their dollar
One time I gave my Applebee's waiter a 100$ tip and she started crying and hugging me and my parents. It's so exciting to make people's day.
If you were really spreading kindness you should've just tipped extra from the beginning without haggling and without videoing it. Do you want her to learn that if she relents and lowers her price she will be rewarded? Only people with a weird god-complex would do that.

@@chilliblues Yeaah, no. Kindness is paying your local artisans and small businesses the price they ask and not being a dick about it. Most of these people already price their work way lower than they probably should, because it's not like crafts are a necessity, the prices are already set low so they have a chance to even sell anything. A lot of the time, haggling puts people in a position where they feel pressured to agree just to make A sale if they're desperate enough. Just don't do this. Pay the price they ask and tip extra if you want, to appreciate their work.

You are the kindest person on the world
Once a friend of mine asked me to make her something I offered for sale. I made it, asked her for £18 (which was the price the whole time) and she kicked up a fuss until I lowered it down to £12. What she didnt consider was buying the yarn, the safety eyes, the time it took to make and build the toy, the stuffing and the shipping. I learned a valuable lesson that day; simply say no if they cant afford it at the price that has been set.
Some 'friend' you have there. Its great you came away with a lesson learnt. Good for you.
I want to give her a hug so bad
She’s an artist. They can put whatever price they want. She took time to do it with her own hands. Let’s say it took her two hours that’s making minimum wage just to be haggled. You’re worried about not looking cheap but baby 😂
Why it's kind of heart warming. She is so genuine
She is sooo adorable! As a crochet hobbyist, i adore her for being so kind but still keeping her value!!! Wishing you all the best, lady! ❣️
SHE HAS A REALLY PURE HEART❤️
Love the watermelons - so cute.🍉
Me too
Oh my god that little smiling slice of watermelon is just so cute
I was hoping he would've chose the watermelon pieces but he chose an octopus so that was awesome 😎
That smile makes her even more attractive
lol imagine stressing out a small business owner for no reason and then preaching about “spreading kindness” .. bleugh
well atleast he gave someone money while you are here probably just scrolling whining and complaining about what you want to see in a public video platform.
Tf are you complaining about ? Making money and being kind?
@@Music_loverr03 I’m complaining about him being condescending and patting himself on the back for it, was my comment not clear ? this guy only does it so he can film it for clout anyway. y’all chose a weird hill to die on. i shouldn’t have to explain why “hustling” a small business and trying to get them to lower the price is a dick move, but maybe you’re also the kind of people to do that
@jprobles4152 the first time I saw your comment, I thought, "hm, funny". And then when I saw it copied and pasted, I thought, "hm, this person is scrolling around complaining about claiming complainers". You are actually really, really funny 🤭
@@jsmith3841 oh really, whatever.
Crocheting can take hours, that probably took her two or three hours but she only charged you $15 which is five dollars an hour for her
Almost what you pay for the yarn
Harassing the artist by trying to lower the price is not respectful at all. Idiots will do anything for attention istg.
She knew her products worth, I love that ❤👌🏿
Bless a vendor by crossing all of her boundaries and making her compromise her way of providing for herself so you can save a dollar on a PLUSH to THEN reward her IF she gives in.
Don't do this.
Dude you gave her 30 bucks. That can get her one ball of yarn for crochet
at least she got something extra in the first place, she’s clearly grateful even for that small amount, what are you expecting a thousand bucks?? like money doesn’t grow on trees, even for RUclipsrs
@@felilicious9917 lmfao 😂 . bottom feeder, like man who made this video.

@idekk1010ok and? How is it spreading kindness if it’s a decent tip 💀
As my teacher said when I was still studying, refrain huggling prices from craftsman store especially street sellers (not in store) because all products are from their hands and consume time, moreover the costs of the raw materials. Nice watermelon, ice creams, cookies.
I can’t stand these videos! He says “I wanted to bless a vendor today” but first he wanted to haggle the price, and make her uncomfortable. How about just bless them then! 🤷🏼♀️ Your teacher was wise! I don’t make anything with my hands but I’d never haggle someone over theirs! Just plain rude!
Hand crafts are actually really hard this price is lower than average. It's ok to bargain on other stuff but i feel like bargaining on someone's hand work breaks their heart a little. It's like you're saying "that's worth less than the price you have"
Her smile is contagious and she seems really nice person too
the way she said 'It's 15 I'm sorry' she was so kind I was about to cry awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
You can tell she’s been nice to too many people by the way she said no. She wanted to say yes but she needed to stick to her word even if it made her feel bad.
But aww I’m glad you blessed her ❤️ she deserves it.
I'm proud of her because you could tell it made her uncomfortable to say no but she struck to her guns anyway. She knows her worth and how long it can take to crochet some of the things she makes. Proud of her.
You should never ask to lower the price of something handmade by an artist
Its so hard to set boundaries and the concept of a random guy tricking an artist to break their limits
…to ending up rewarding them for so
Is weird to me
She’s really freaking good at those! And her prices are not expensive at all, there was a pop up tent for them at a fair I went too here in New York and I paid $20 for a small dinky little crochet Pokémon character 😂 those things take time and skill
This isn’t kindness. You made this woman feel so uncomfortable then offered her the payment she already deserved as a way to make it seem better or like kindness. You shouldn’t haggle people then go well I’m just being kind so here’s some extra money, it makes it awkward as hell for them and in that case, that’s a nice encounter she could’ve lived without. You added a cringe memory for her, those ones we look back on and go yikes that happened….
He gives so much small money and such big happiness!
