I sell teddy bears and teddy bear accessories

So after a few days and hundreds of views, nobody on Barf bought any of the bears. I'd like to take this opportunity to gather feedback and ask why not? It seemed that many of you were amused by it, and it would help me out a lot if you listed out reasons why you were not interested in making a purchase so I can change up what I'm doing <3 you guys

Please be brutally honest!
 
barfers are predominantly male motorcyclists. this may not the best demographic for selling teddy bears. you want to find a hello kitty conference and sell them there.
 
Haha I like it, my gf's birthday is in August so I might get one for her.

I like the idea of them, but there's only two phrases and I wasn't sold on either.

Also, while I've had an ex who would totally get the humor and dig something like that, none of the hippy ass Bay Area chicks I've dated recently would get it. Their loss :twofinger

I believe it was Nietzsche who said it best:

"Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster. For if you gaze too long into the goatse, the goatse gazes also into you".
 
Sell them to liquor store owners in the East Bay. I bet they would sell well in those locations.

so what are you trying to say about Barfers? :x

You need to see about selling it on sites similar to thinkgeek ... can you ramp production to meet any demand?

does worldstar hip hop have an apparel and accessories shop?

Way too much money. In fact I got through to the payment page and it went up to $40 with local shipping etc. Way more than what I'd spend on a joke. If it was 15-20$ I may have done it but even that is a lot. I do think it is funny.

I think you need even more phrases. I wouldn't send one that says bitch, but found the rest of that one to be funnier.

Can you do smaller less expensive bears? Again it is a funny joke to receive but not a lot of people are going to want to keep a large stuffed animal around that says that. Maybe I'm wrong there.
 
Do you have anymore of these in stock?
