Store Update

Heyo everyone!! After dealing with a really bad cold that would not go away, a depressive episode and just life in general, I have news! ^^ I have once again, after 8 years of erasing it, implemented "Grading" on my enamel pin products ^^ 

Im not gonna lie, back in 2018 when I got scammed by a manufacturer and lost a lot of money, trust from my community and so much more, I kind of... lost my love for making pins, which is kind of funny when I literally called myself "Gufaspins" jksdnjfds

Being a pinmaker was my dream tbh, The idea of making art on a small piece of metal that could be beautiful, meaningful and have a piece of my soul just... it filled me with joy. By half of 2018 I felt close to that tho, I felt a pride and support I have never felt before, just with 17years old, I felt like I could do anything.. Yet after the scam, I fell into despair. I felt like I failed everyone, like I failed myself, like everyone who doubted me was right.. I sold so many things valuable to me so I could pay that debt and just.. I stopped feeling joy or attachment to the stuff I made. Even now, its been just recently that I have started to save at least 1 of my products so I could see it everyday and feel that I accomplished something.

But 3 days ago, while packing an order, I realized.. I love what I do, and I love to share what I do with others. And in that context, I started to care more for what I do and what I sell.

Its true that Im a small business in Chile and that grading pins represent a pretty big loss for someone who barely sells these days but.. I want to give it my best. I want to show myself that I can do it, that what I do is worth it and that I can still make cool stuff hehe. So I graded my pins myself. I want to make sure that if someone pays the full price of a product of mine, that they receive something worth that money and the trust they gave me ^^

Im not sure if I explained myself correctly or if this makes sense but.. I just wanted to announce it and take it off my chest ^^ So ye! All metal pins have been graded and separated between A GRADE and B GRADE owo B grades are 35% percent cheaper than A grades, but A Grades are either in perfect state or almost perfect state, so for coleccionists this might be good ^^

I want to thank you for your  constant support, and for trusting me once again after all this time ^^ I will start making more cool products from now on owo sadly, they wont be as.. "affordable" as other products I've made, as I usually do stuff that costs too much xd but I will try my best to make it as cheap as I can while keeping a great quality on them ^^9 Im so excited hehehe <3 Hope you're excited too!! ^^

Also I found a few extra pins and designs I was missing, they're available now! ^^
