How happens that someone scalps on piece that has such a massive MTO?

>> No.10315237

>>10315234
I was wondering this as well. Which idiots are paying above the original price for a piece that was so easy to get.

>> No.10315243

>>10315234

- people who didn't have money when the MTO unexpectedly went up (I mean it's not like AP gave you a few months' advance notice)

- people who didn't want it but are now caught in the hype of trendy print (and have the cash to burn for this kind of status spending)

- adding to mix, weirdly enough, newbies who mistake that the price must bomb after a deluge hits the market after MTO. It never does. Lolita is a middle-class hobby, there just aren't that many lolitas in this class with the kind of money to throw down $300 on an MTO and then turn around and sell it for $100 after "everybody has it now"-- they're all going to want to wear it once or twice first before letting you have it for half price, which means it usually takes a couple of years for the price to dip back down below retail. So now all those girls who were hoping a deluge of "cheap polyester" HC are going to hit the market will simply have to swallow the higher prices if they want it now now now, or wait another few years if they want it for cheap.

Similar happened with Holy Lantern, if you look up the archives when the very first re-release MTO started going out, it was a pretty entertaining shitshow.

Why not just post it normally instead of stories, then? I remember there were "confession" blogs on Tumblr that ran in a similar manner, by posting regularly instead of dumping all on one day.
This was probably helped by the fact that Tumblr has an anonymous ask / submissions feature while Insta does not, unfortunately.
You could always have a Tumblr and e-mail address dedicated for taking anon submissions, then post to the Tumblr and to Insta at the same time.

Jumping in to ask a silly question i always wondered ever since this set came out. Is there any western "pin up" brand that released a similar set?

And no, I got the black blouse and the pink skirt and then I got the HC bag for myself and something else as a gift for a friend. I didn't order them at the same time so I didn't even think about that, only when they got shipped together I was like milkshake and pancakes are such a cute theme together!

Troll bids are not the answer imo, not that I am against what they are doing though. As much as I hate scalpers, especially people like GG & R, etc. it's probably not going to work. The lm mods are probably going to remove the troll account soon. They will have to re-register for a new account over and over. I hope they are using vpn cause they might be able to trace the actual IP of the troll bidding anon and ban her real account. I agree scalpers shouldn't be on lm (or anywhere else) or at least lm should make some rules regarding scalping. But we know they won't.

That's not what I asked you and you are dodging the question. Of course there are the ones that come with the set for HC. The reason the anon was coming up with other designs is because it's boring as fuck to always wear brand socks with your coord.

There was an anon who posted high quality detail shots of HC and some stupid bitch still felt the need to go off about how shitty polyester is. The dress is obviously nice and morons on here just repeat memes.

Princess Cat:
- cotton, superior as per cgl
- lace is custom and coloured, superior to plain white lace
- cuts are just waist, as per cgl is superior to high waist
- cats aren't even ugly gremlins

- Sold kinda badly and went on sale.
- had a special set release that hung around for a day.

If you need to face facts, face that what cgl complains about they don't always follow up, and what they follow up with they barely make a dent of difference. The actual fact is western lolitas, and what cgl finds "covetable" isn't even AP's main market because whatever we complain about, doesn't sell out, we simply don't follow through, then we complain "it's bad quality" because nobody buys it, meanwhile the polyester dresses catered to other markets fly off the shelves and actually make money.

cgl hasn't been relevant to AP in a long while either, I don't know why you'd think they're even bothering with being relevant to us.

CGL has never been relevant to AP frankly. Although if we are talking about what’s popular in AP’s primary markets of China and the Middle East (per their statement about Shibuya sales last January), it’s their OTT lace monsters that are bread-and-butter. And, well, Baby does those better.

Strawberry Doll special set was also quite highly coveted. It’s a different game now though. AP sees that things like Strawberry Doll and Misty Sky Brilliant Color (new colors) are super popular, so they put out an MTO within months of its original release. Pieces don’t have the same time to build up a highly coveted reputation.

I don't see the point, honestly. Everyone already knows it's taobao, a ripoff not replica, and are expecting lower quality. It would be like buying Bodyline's carousel print and doing a side-by-side comparison with Sugary Carnival when you already know they're totally different prints and one is already known to be lower quality than the other.

why aren't people totally fangirling over fairy snow decoration? I think it is so subtle and mature and airy and gorgeous. It captures perfectly the muted tones of a sparkly snow flurry, with the lacy-looking print delightful to behold, revealing its delicate, intricate complexity the longer you look at it.

AP has a lot of japan only releases, so sometimes I use a shopping service only to find out later that AP US will release it too. But also AP US sometimes has low inventory of special releases so I’ll also occasionally order from a shopping service I f I want to be 100% sure of getting it. Baby and AP USA both mark up the prices (but not as bad as AP Paris) so it’s generally only an extra $10-20. Plus AP US always charges for priority mail and it’s practically the same cost as the cheap shipping options from Japan. When I was a newbie tho I thought Baby was like AP and didn’t ship from Japan so I used a shopping service a couple times and the bitch never said anything, just let me order through her. Poor choice for her because she might have made $20 that one time but once I figured it out I never used her again and I order through her competition all the time for other stuff.

If they were just about 20 dollars cheaper, I'd use both of them almost all the time. The fact they're about as expensive as buying from Japan makes it hard for me to prioritize them.

There are certain items that aren't guaranteed to be released over here and collabs are hard to get ahold of without shopping services.

Also, I just feel like lolita as a whole is "the early bird gets the worm". If you don't buy something popular upon release on the japanese side, you usually just lost your opportunity to buy directly, unless there's a MTO. Most people use AP USA as a last chance to get items from popular releases or for slackers who weren't paying attention to the first release. I also usually use both BtSSB and AP US to get old stock and things Chinese and Japanese lolitas can't snap up as quickly than I do to get new releases.

Oddly enough >>10317648 is why. I have Shadow Dream Carnival in 3 colours, I like the corseted bodice so much, it looks so elegant.

I'm getting used to my tastes being unpopular, though. I thought Shadow Dream answered a lot of cgl's complaints -- the fabric is devore, it's beyond taobao brands' ability to custom print it, it's elegant and understated, comes in both high-waist and low-waist version plus OP for the ones that like to brag about being smol, passes as both print or solid whichever camp you're in. The last time I asked most people replied that they sold it because the print doesn't show up in photos enough.

I guess that explains the popularity of taobao-like dresses, seems like a lot of girls are now buying dresses because they look good on social media rather than because they're good irl.

But I’m in the US, there are no customs. And I wasn’t consolidating purchases, I had no other purchases with her.

Messenger is really dumb about notifying about messages from non-friends, so I saw it way too late, but one managed to hunt me down on facebook where I don't even use my real name to avoid family. Spooky.

Heey.

That's me.

So, life happened over the last 6ish months and I've been super-busy. I'll be releasing these pretty soon (within a few weeks) since con season is starting up again and I have a few shows I'm vending at! I'll post an update in whatever current general thread, and I still have the email list.

I'm in the process of setting up a new web shop. So once that's ready to go and tested, they'll be up.

Yes she has a twitter, same as the tag on the pic I posted. Not as lolita themed art but still really nice stuff. I’ve been a follower for a good minute. Enjoy.

There was an email list?? I missed out then. :( I’m the op that posted your stuff back here looking for you.
