Comments from  sellers and buyers

FROM A BUYER: I am a frequent visitor of your site and I appreciate the site and your hard work very much.  A couple of years ago, I answered an ad on your site and bought some beautiful blonde hair from a very nice lady.  She told me about a friend who had some beautiful brown hair she wanted to cut and I ended up buying her hair also. 
 
I would not consider my feelings for hair a "fetish" because I think of a fetish as a perverse sexual thing.  I have had an interest in hair and haircutting ever since I was 4 or 5 years old.  I won't bore you with the details, but I have always had an interest in women's hair and everything concerning it...haircutting, perming, styling, salon activity, the way hair feels and smells.  I have never cut a woman's hair.  I have never asked a woman if she would let me cut her hair.  I did ask the ladies' that I bought hair from if they would be willing to take before, during, and after pictures and both of them agreed.  I also told them of my interest in hair and both of them did not have any problem with that either.

I was introduced to your site by just typing "hair for sale" into Google.  But, there is at least one "fetish" site that has a link to your website.  It is a Yahoo Group.  It is in the Adult category and features pictures of the haircutting videos that are offered on EBay.  I have bought videos from him before because he features long to short haircutting and other things also.  I think he is a hairdresser in Southern California.
 
I am sorry for the long email but I wanted to explain why your clients may be getting some offensive email responses if you didn't know already.  I can only speak for myself but I would never be offensive in any contact that I may have with any of your clients, but I won't lie about why I want the hair either. 

MY COMMENT: I appreciate the honesty from both buyers and sellers. Please feel free to send me any comments. I will post them with privacy as I do not wish to slander anyone. However if I get several complaints pertaining to any one individual, (buyer or seller) I will post their email and ban them from this website.

SELLERS Comments

My hair has been sold for 450 GBP plus a very expensive hair style after and travel.
I am very pleased thank u for a wonderful website but I have received a lot of scam emails due to my post and so I will soon have to stop using this email address

My Comment: When possible always use a temporary email when selling to your personal email does not get loaded with scam.

This buyer wasn't interested in my hair because I washed my hair right before the cut.
MY COMMENT:  Keep in mind that buyers have the right to ask for special requests when buying your hair.
It is up to you to meet the need when ever possible.
If selling hair direct off head you may first communicate with the needs of the buyer. They may want it unwashed, video tape of cutting, or some other request-etc. You have the right to ask why! So keep communication open. There are many legit buyers wanting your hair.

Hi Marlys, My hair is SOLD!!! $500 was the purchase price and it sold in less than 24 hours.. I wanted to thank you and I definitely recommend you to others trying to sell their hair...This was without a doubt the easiest transaction I've had with the internet and it's service providers.. You were absolutely top notch to work with and the person who purchased my hair was very, very nice and easy to deal with...I am amazed at how fast my hair sold...I got some offers and went with what I felt was a great price for me and the buyer...Once again, Thank you for all your help and your website. My hair surely would have been in trash can instead of making me some money and the buyer happy with their purchase...Please feel fee to use this as a testimonial of the great job you do...
Regards,
Daniel M.

I have a hair piece advertised on your site. I've gotten a lot of bids. Your site has been a godsend for my friends because they would have cut their hair and throne it away. I hope I can send you a lot of business because I know allot of ladies with very long hair and it works that you make money and the ladies get money too. thank you so much. 

Yes, my hair has sold, it sold within the 3 weeks I was hoping for and I received $2250 for about 34", and the buyer was very pleased. It was quite a pleasant and exciting experience and I wanted to thank you again for your website. I don't know if I'll be back again, simply because I am loving the freedom of my new short hair. But if I do find myself with long locks again, I will definitely be coming your way.
 Thanks again and best wishes 

I sold my hair for $200 to a man in Belguim.  Most people kept telling me that it was "ONLY' 14" so it wasn't worth as much?!  But it was really an interesting experience & would do it again...especially thru your site!

I just wanted to let you know that my hair sold (for $700!) so that you can take down my ad. This has been a fun experience, and I look forward to using the money for the down payment on my wedding dress. You run a wonderful site.

My hair is sold already!!!---------- Sold in 3 days.-------I sold my 15 inches of hair for $350.  I will definitely be telling my friends about this.  I was really surprised because I didn't think my hair is anything special (I still don't).  You have a wonderful website.

Just wanted to let you know that my hair has sold for $1250 in just over 2 weeks! overall a very positive experience. 

Just wanted to let you know I've sold my hair. It was an interesting experience, a lot of offers, many false, a lot of creepy people with hair fetishes. I will use your services in the future, see you again in 2 years.  

Just wanted to let you know that I sold my hair today for $1000.  Thanks for offering your site to help me sell it. 

I sold 23" of my Unique Cherokee/Scottish hair for $1600.00 USD in less than
two weeks!!! Thank you so much for providing this web site for people like
me, who want to advertise their hair to serious buyers! I received almost 80
e-mails in 12 days! Also, I have referred this web site to other people who
are thinking about selling their hair too.

Thanks again,

Hi Marlys, I wanted to let you know my hair has sold after 4 weeks.  I think they got a good deal on a great 17", 5.5 oz. golden red ponytail, but I'm satisfied with the price as well, which is about what I was anticipating when I first placed the ad.  After accepting an $800 bid the first week which eventually turned out to not be genuine, I had gotten my hopes up higher, but I was more eager to sell quick than hold out!  I learned my lesson and am contacting you only now that payment has been deposited by PayPal and the hair has shipped out by Certified Mail.   I really appreciate the advice and help you gave me throughout the frustrating bid process, and I think your tips in the "beware" section are very sensible.  For others looking to sell their hair, I would advise being very suspicious of offers that sound great; many people are just drawing you out for more pictures, or are involved in producing hair fetish videos or websites.  Although I had a few genuine offers from honest people, most of the e-mails I received (and there were dozens) were dishonest, lewd, or even outright insulting.  There is a lot of exposure on this site and you get the bad along with the good.  If I had my hair to sell again, I would cut it first and have a friend keep track of the bids, it would be less stressful for someone without an emotional attachment to the hair!   I am very happy with the listing service you provided, and with my short new haircut.  This was a learning experience for me and in the end I've got a little extra money out of it in time for the holidays.  :-)  Thanks very much and please feel free to use this e-mail and my pictures as testimonials.  

Thank you for your service, the entire process was easy and efficient. I posted an ad on 9/27/06, and just wanted to let you know I've cut and sold, therefore the ad can be removed. Everyone that contacted me regarding the ad was very nice, no lewd emails at all. I accepted one of the first bids for $275 for my ponytail, including layers, which ended up being about 14" at the longest point.

My hair is sold, I sold 21+ inches for $1000. Less than 3 weeks ad was up. Thanks.

Please remove my post from your website, as I recently sold my hair for $575.  I sold it to someone in Italy, and everything has gone well so far.  I received payment and shipped the hair, but now the package is being held up in customs because it needs a certificate of cleanliness.  Any ideas on how to get around this one?

I recommend you investigate LOL (Locks Of Love) which you are promoting on your site, as they are NOT all that they seem to be. They use only 2% of the hair donated, do NOT help many kids with cancer as people think, and sell most of the hair they get in.

Hello,  I am considering selling my hair and I am impressed by your site and service. Your warning is appreciated. I feel you are extremely forthcoming and the you have the best interest of your customers at heart. It never occurred to me that this might attract a fetish crowd, but now that you mention it, it makes sense and I am prepared to face it. Getting a special e-mail for the occasion is also sage advice. I found it interesting that some of your customers videoed their haircut and sold those, too. While the "acting" is out of the question (not that they would want this 54 yr old), it made me think it might be fun to have a record of the cut as I doubt I will ever grow it out again (and certainly not to my waist). I will be having it cut very short as I am a wash and run kind of girl which means either long or short -- none of this medium fuss-with length!  You have my respect for your integrity.

thank you so much Marlys i have sold my hair for $2500 you can remove my add much 

Hi there,  I have my hair posted on your site & I just wanted to write to you to tell you that I sold my hair almost 1 month to the day of posting for $3000.00!!! We also did a few videos of a "shampoo/style" & another of a "curl & buzzed cut" to sell....  I was paid $3000.00 for my hair only..... the video is mine to sell copies of. Over all it was an awesome experience!!!! Thank you so much Marlys!!! :)  

Just wanted to let you know that I have sold my hair so you can take my ad down.  I sold 35" for $2,500.  Thanks for all your help & the use of your
website.

I would prefer to just have the pictures and ad removed.  I have decided to keep my hair longer, but just a bit shorter.  I can't deal with cutting it now but I'm not sure I ever will be able to.  I've been debating about that for a year and I think it would be a big mistake to cut it.  I did have offers for $1,000 and $1,500 but I am not sure they were legitimate.  Some of the emails sounded a bit off.  If I do decide to take one of the bids I will let you know. Thanks for the site, it seems to work well for most people.  And thank you so much for the prayers.  That means allot to us.  It's been several very difficult several years.  C

I wanted to let you know that I cut and sold my hair today.  My ad was posted on the 13th "16-18 of healthy brown hair"  I was very pleased with the service, and appreciated the timely fashion of the whole process. Have a great day.

Just wanted to let you know that I've sold my hair. Thanks so much for having this wonderful website. The only thing I would of done differently is that I would of mentioned that my hair was already cut. I received a lot of emails just from people who wanted to cut my hair themselves. Again, thanks.

The hair from this ad was sold for $300.  The bid came in the same day the ad first appeared.

Hi, this is to let you know that my 15 inches of blonde hair sold for $500. I could have gotten more if I had taken a video, but oh well. Thanks!

Thank you very much for hosting my ad.
I received many inquiries and many great offers. I sold my hair on June 6, 2006 for $1325.00
and it has been a very pleasant auction. I had a lot of fun talking to all the bidders, and I've told a lot of people about your website.
