IN THE LAND OF GIANTS

In the land of giants everything is smaller

OK, I admit it! Sometimes I don't read the measurements or even acknowledge them on the listings. I more of a visual person. But that doesn't justify sellers to take advantage of this. Yesterday I received this pirate picture holder from eBay. All I remember reading from listing was "CUTE PIRATE PICTURE HOLDER", so I thought "it must be big enough for an actual picture." The seller sent a quite big of the box for a 2 inch tall pirate-that I figured out by going back and reading listing. This also happen to me when I bought an 8 inch ugly doll for $20 when I could of bought a much taller & uglier doll in a store for about the same price. So I figured the trick sellers use to allure visual buyers "USING BIGGER PICTURES MAKES THE ACTUAL ITEM SEEM BIGGER THAN IT REALLY IS." Really its a no brainer!
