| Need your advice!!! Hello my friends and fellow members. As many of you know I have an online store that sells Yorkie items. Usually I don't have a problem deciding what to stock and sell. But here is my quandary; I think that the attached items are really cute and might go over well. I would like your opinion on them. They are scented soap. The first ones would sell for approx. $12.00 - $13.00 each and the second ones would sell for approx. $7.00 - $8.00 each. What do you think? Would they be worth my time? Honest opinions please. Thanks |

| I think this is really going to depend on your basic demographic. I think they are cute, but I would never buy them because I have three young boys who would just not get the whole "decorative" idea and my $13 soap would be gone in two days. I just, personally, know they wouldn't work for me, despite the fact they are cute. |

| Personally, if I was going to buy one, it'd be one of the first 2, but I wouldn't want to pay more than the price for the second 2. I'm not really into decorative soaps tho. It'd be worth offering them, but it is already so specific of an item for a specific demograpic, I don't know how many units you'd move.

| Thanks for the comment. I was kinda afraid of that myself. I don't think I could pay the artist and postage and make any kind of profit. I wish some of the others that looked at my post had commented. even if it was just to say no I wouldn't buy them for that price etc. sigh. |

| I like the first soaps (yorkie ones) however, I would like to see more of the black/silver color in the front too instead of all the tan (just my taste). Would I pay $12-$13 just depends...how big is that soap? My kids are grown so I wouldn't have to worry about the kids using the soap..lol

| Soaps The first ones are very cute but too expensive for me, unless they were bought as ornaments.......not to be used up:-). The second ones did not appeal to me. Thanks for asking for YT opinions. Good luck, hope they work for you. |

| The first 2 are cute, the second 2 look like schnauzers to me. I wouldn't buy them though, they're a bit expensive and I'm not big on decorative soap because lint sticks to it and they get messed up (ex scratched). |

| I like the first two too but I wouldn't buy them as soap. I would buy an ornament or little statue though. They are cute.

| I think both sets are cute, I like the first better, more color. I am a collector of yorkie figurines and such, I wouldn't use them for soap lol, much to cute.I would use them as ornaments, but like another member pointed out, dust sticking to them making them hard to clean and keep them new looking. I purchased a yorkie candle, but it was glazed,very easy to dust and keep looking like new. I have it for many years and it still looks brand new.
