I launched a pattern in the CROCHET PATTERN category. The title has the words "CROCHET PATTERN" in it. The first line of my description reads "Up for bidding is a CROCHET PATTERN ..."

Bidder asks a question tonight. Would anybody like to venture a guess as to what that question was??? C'mon ... Take a guess ...

"Is this auction for a crochet pattern?"

(Do I win a prize?)

I could be wrong, but I think I'm starting to see a pattern here...

Yeah, I get questions like that every once and a while myself. Makes you wish there was a program you could stick on your computer that would allow you to reach through the screen and smack them upside the head.

What's really frustrating is when you get a question like that, you don't know if it's an email harvesting ploy, or a genuinly stupid potential customer.

I won?! I really won?!! Wait'll I tell Mom.

I want to gob-smack some of the buyers, sometimes. I'm so tired of "how much is shipping?" when I have the media mail shipping anywhere in the U.S. right in the auction, sometimes in all caps. It's just true that people don't read.

Or can't.

Bizzy: I sell mostly knitting patterns, and I get the same thing all the time. Also, people asking if I have the sweater in this or that size? Is it a knitting or crochet pattern? I feel like being rude and suggesting they read the listing, but that would not be productive.

Yes, roadsmith, you won. I think you won a crochet pattern. But, I'm not sure. You'll have to ask Diane.
