<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jivvy, post: 545064, member: 8184&quot;]I felt the need to come back to this.&nbsp; I am not a seller.&nbsp; I buy things on occasion. And occasionally clear out some of my hoard by listing items on ebay (though... it&#039;s been years since I last &quot;cleared out&quot;).</p><p><br /></p><p>My posts are almost never about what&#039;s worth buying or selling. The first pieces you posted, yes, I totally got stuck on the consideration of machine vs hand...&nbsp; but the fact is -- it doesn&#039;t matter. They&#039;re &quot;made for export&quot; pieces, they&#039;re pretty available on ebay,&nbsp; and the value is decorative. </p><p><br /></p><p>(SIDE NOTE: With average modern embroidery, it can be very tough to know if it&#039;s hand or machine work without seeing the back -- still NOT recommending you remove this piece.)</p><p><br /></p><p>The needlepoint piece?&nbsp; That one has some issues (again, my opinion is not about monetary value).&nbsp; The design has been overly simplified -- which actually makes it harder to follow what&#039;s going on -- to the point that the stitcher totally mucked up one of the eyes (no iris).</p><p><br /></p><p>Does needlepoint like this sell? Not a clue.&nbsp; I do not like most modern needlepoint, it&#039;s not something I buy.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>(ANOTHER SIDE NOTE: I was at a family member&#039;s house a few years back and she had purchased these brightly colored &quot;magazine craft pattern&quot; crocheted Christmas pillows that were straight out of my childhood -- I thought they were awful, but apparently they were &quot;hot&quot; and ebay bidding quite competitive.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m just saying... I&#039;m almost always about the object, not about whether it&#039;s a good buy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
