egl_archiveHey there
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif){kind=small}
eglers! As most of you probably already know, Metamorphose has rereleased their Antique Bouquet print in an extremely limited edition set, which was available briefly yesterday for purchase on the website, and was available in stores today. Here is the news page/web flyer about it!
They sold out yesterday on the site in 38 minutes. Many people on egl were disappointed. But they were also available in stores this morning! So, inspired by the sad plight of my good friend who had missed getting her set because of tutoring (oh, how we suffer for our academics!), I hussled my butt out of bed early this morning and trecked over to stand in line with the other faithfuls at the store.
I was blessed with luck, and the ability to buy one of each color!! The pink goes to my friend, so I will make the BROWN and the BLUE available here!! I will auction these off, with the auction ending tomorrow night, Sunday night, midnight Japan time (which is 11am EST US Sunday morning). Mostly I just hope to make these available to those who want them and make sure I cover my expenses, but it wouldn't hurt to make a few bucks for my trouble as well!
Each set comes with:
a SKIRT
a CAPE
a HEADDRESS or BONNET or other HAIR ACCESSORY
SOCKS
BLOOMERS
PANNIER
This is a very very good set, a great deal!! I cannot say what exactly is in each set, because I am not going to open them up to see (that would open a big can of worms with measurements and questions and asking to describe details, and I just don't want to get into all that with these!) Just think of it all as part of the fun!!! But unlike a regular Lucky Pack, there's no icky surprises (A line dresses anyone? ;)) - you know what you get, and the color, and how gorgeous it is!!
Here's the sale page, where you can see samples of the fabrics colors:

These sets were originally 20000 yen. I imagine they will cost *at least* 4000 yen to ship, since they're pretty big (HEY anyone who was able to order one yesterday from abroad - how much did the shipping come to?). I will start the bidding for each at 26000 to ensure I cover my bare expenses... (*Winning bid INCLUDES shipping - you pay exactly what you bid only!)
Just to let you know how very rare these are, yesterday there were 15 of each color on the website (that's for BOTH Japanese orders and orders from abroad). Today in the Osaka store (the MAIN, HEAD store!) there were 1 pink and about 3 brown and 3 blue. That's only 7 in the MAIN store! There are 8 stores total, and I'm imagine each would have a few sets only. These seem to be way way rarer than Lucky Packs. (I say 'seem to be' only because I can't GUARANTEE that's true, but it seems pretty darn clear that these number far far fewer than the fukubukuro!!)
Comment to bid or ask any questions!
(However, I don't plan to open them up, so I can't answer questions about content!)
There is 1 brown and 1 blue.
Current high bids as of midnight Saturday night, 24 hours to go:
brown=30000 yen
blue=38000 yen
Thank you very much! <3

Date: 2006-09-10 03:32 pm (UTC)As for myself, I have to go to bed (it's 12:30 at night here!). I am opening a NEW BIDDING COMMENT at the bottom, please bid there / look there to see if she has bid!! That should make it easier to keep track even when I'm not here and not have any hard-to-see comments stuck in weird places or something.
Sorry about all this!! I hope you aren't angry with me!! I just want to let you both bid like a real auction, and no icky surprises! :(

Date: 2006-09-10 03:39 pm (UTC)So the auction will be opened for another day? Whoopee ... I can probably squeeze in a few hours of shut eye then.
I shall keep a look out at the bidding comment below.
Once again, thanks for being fair.
I sound like such a kiss ass. X________________________X
Re: Thank you!!!
Date: 2006-09-10 03:47 pm (UTC)You can totally afford to sleep, I'm not going to do this with a strict time now, I'm just hoping at some point the both of you will be on here at the same time and can have a real auction, and take care of it within like 15 minutes! heheh... Even if not hopefully if you're both on here a few more times it should take care of itself... if people bid in decent increments there should be no problem I imagine, it can't be too long before one of you decides it's really more than it's worth!! (Not that it's not worth a lot, it's gorgeous, but you know, everything has its right price, and it's certainly not $600!! haha)
A real auction goes until only 1 person wants it, and that's what I'm hoping for...that's a real fair auction, not playing with times and luck! heheh

Date: 2006-09-10 03:37 pm (UTC)BROWN SET
Date: 2006-09-10 03:36 pm (UTC)Bidding until around midnight Monday night, though hopefully it will peter down naturally before then...I want it to peter down naturally to a fair price based on actual willing-to-pay price rather than online auction luck, so I am keeping this open until both bidders are satisfied! (I hate online auction icky last minute surprises, where you think you've won but at the last second someone else outbids you, and then you lose, even though you were willing to pay more and just didn't see it...that never seems fair to me!)
I hope neither of you hate me for this. It just seemed infinitely more fair.
HIGH BID=32000 at 12:30 am Monday night, japan time, by
Please leave all bids here, NOT above!!
