ITT: Bloodbath General

Discuss ridiculously expensive dresses, share battle royale stories, predict what pieces will reach that status, cry about how you lost your sixth auction for Puppet Circus, whatever is relevant.

I think the blue was my favorite colorway, but from what I heard the real bloodbath was for the red. Either way, they're all great, but I couldn't see myself looking too good in it. I'm kinda excited to watch what secondhand sales on it will be, just for the demonstration of how the lolita market works.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 31 22:08:53 2015 No.8522695 >>8522664 >>8522683 I'm surprised the red was the most popular, I thought the lavender and blue were so much prettier. Oh well, it just means they'll be the cheaper ones secondhand.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 31 22:25:57 2015 No.8522738 there wasn't even a bloodbath for bride of death. it was going for really cheap on mbok right after the release too. then the price just skyrocketed and it became crazy expensive.

The bloodbath doesn't just refer to the initial sale, I actually see it more in reference to auctions. This is typical of AatP prints, though, the same thing happened with Gloria. That shit was less than retail for like a year after it came out. If there's one thing I've learned in lolita, it's that you can't determine what a dress's resale value is going to be just based on it's initial release.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 31 22:37:29 2015 No.8522769 >>8522738 >>8522762 Same with Lost Paradise; no one wanted it, and then all of a sudden that OP went up on auction and it went through the roof. I wonder what the next ones to come up will sell for.

I always thought bloodbath was usually the rush and panic to get new releases like when AP releases a new print but there's not enough to go around so people are going wild calling their SS's and scalpers having the time of their lives selling things for $100-200 extra or even double retail.

Bloodbath is a term used to describe the ridiculous competition for an especially sought after piece. This applies to what you describe as well as battle to the death auctions, where a dress will be listed at a low price then end up at a grand by the end. It also refers to when something sells out in literally minutes or there's so many people trying to get the same item that the severs on a site crash and many don't end up with one. Basically any time shit gets real over a dress can be called a bloodbath.

That's one of my dream dresses in black/red. So fucking gorgeous.

Is it me or is AatP becoming ridiculously popular this past year or two? They never used to have nearly as many $800+ pieces, now they're dominating the list of shit with highest resale value. They have more things that go for a grand than AP now.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 31 23:05:00 2015 No.8522833 >>8522825 i think it's because the trend has shifted from OTT Sweet to OTT Classic. even gothic coords feature a big classic influence, including AatP prints that aren't quite goth in terms of cut and style (just motif/color).>>8522825

It's so beautiful! I am a big fan of Nakamura Asumiko as well so that plays into it for sure.

Also yes I have noticed this trend as well though I am not particularly sure why? Perhaps the general fashion is swaying away from OTT sweet prints now?

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 31 23:06:53 2015 No.8522838 >>8522789 Just curious, about how much does that one usually sell for? It's not my taste so I've never watched it.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 31 23:08:19 2015 No.8522841 >>8522806 I think so since it looks best and has more details in the JSKs.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 31 23:09:52 2015 No.8522844 >>8522833 >>8522834 Also, AatP fans tend to be extremely die hard about specific prints more-so than fans of other brands, and are generally older than AP ones and can spend more money on their grails.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 31 23:10:52 2015 No.8522845 >>8522838 Different anon, but I recall it selling for over $700 recently

Anonymous Fri Jul 31 23:14:06 2015 No.8522847

>>8522838
Around $450 to $500 (the JSK) last I looked, but that's if you can even find it. It might be going for even more than that based off of what >>8522703 said.

And it gets snapped up fast if it gets put up for sale. I see this print doing nothing but becoming more and more expensive as the years will pass.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 31 23:14:08 2015 No.8522848 >>8522825 >>8522833 >>8522834 I'm so excited about this. AatP has been my favorite brand for the past 5 years, I'd love to see them surpass AP as the most popular brand.

>>8522695
Yeah, I thought this too. But I'm not holding my breath on the prices being sane, from what I'm hearing.

What was the cut popularity order?

>>8522825
I think AATP has always been this way for various pieces, it's just that secondhand prices for popular pieces in general have skyrocketed exponentially in the past ~2-3 years.
