Grandin Road just happens to be popular and caught red-handed. Is it right? No. But it's business. Look through Etsy and you'll find hundreds of artists selling stuff based on other people's works. Some even feature movie icons that they clearly don't own. Once you post your ideas or content online they become fair game for everyone. I've seen content from my site and blog elsewhere and understand that it's part of being an online community. Again, I don't think it's right for someone to profit from other's ideas, but how can you possibly control it? At least Grandin Road "seems" to eventually respond to problems (they switched out their clearly copied zombie couple from last year).Señor Scaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537080839041403962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3520569858280475630.post-44014750578054540832013-08-05T20:42:25.479-04:002013-08-05T20:42:25.479-04:00And their videos are still inspiring... :)And their videos are still inspiring... :)Addicted to Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146737159489287742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3520569858280475630.post-8865462926198220042013-08-05T20:41:31.013-04:002013-08-05T20:41:31.013-04:00Bloated prices?

Yet they'll have some things that seem more reasonable, and least to someone like me who isn't crafty enough to make their own decorations. Like the Lady in Black whose eyes glow red. She's $89. Come half-price sales time, I'll (probably) order her. I just don't know how they think $159 for a tray is reasonable.<br /><br />As for the lacking quality, I was satisfied with my mummies and the Venetian Victoria. Everyone thought they were great, too. And I ordered the walking hand, didn't care for it, and returned it with no problem.Addicted to Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146737159489287742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3520569858280475630.post-75201803891610598352013-08-05T16:36:34.420-04:002013-08-05T16:36:34.420-04:00This is the power of consumerism.

Grandin Road steals designs and artwork from home haunters, and yet home haunters can't help but re-share Grandin Road's advertising amongst themselves, despite the bloated prices, the obviously lacking quality of their merchandise, and their abysmal business practices.Mantan Calaverashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01024705691966479703noreply@blogger.com
