May I be the first to say this image appears to be quite 'armless

agi said 265 days ago:

Hilarious...the shot is a little soft and I wish you got the entire doll/bag for more impact.

Beamer said 265 days ago:

Very cool, great capture. The blown out highlight on the baggie actually add tension to this and make the image stronger, IMHO.

what !!?? hehehehe

Lange said 265 days ago:

I can see where you are going with this.

Unfortunately, however, as a person who attends a fair number of rummage sales, this sort of sign and wording is very familiar to me, and therefore did not say "unexpected" to me. I do like the photography of the image, however. And I feel the soft focus on the doll is artistically a good choice.

Unfortunately for me as well, dolls are sort of creepy, especially dismembered ones (think of the movie "Chucky" or any of its sequals.)

@ Lange - I think part of the unexpectedness for me was the amount of money they were asking for the baby. If I shell out 10 bucks, I want all the arms and legs intact, and in good shape.

Also, defining the baby as "old" while relevant to the age of the product, does seem like somewhat of an oxymoron.

And as for your distaste in dolls, I will have to agree with you. I share the same sentiment towards clowns.

Good subject, I wouldnt expect anyone to sell a doll missing an arm

pete said 265 days ago:

great find, and nice photo :) the relevance is lost on me though, sorry

pete said 265 days ago:

ahh.. reading through, i can see what you were getting at... if only there was an 'amend score' option.

flipthom said 265 days ago:
