Dakimakuras anyone?

You lost the Marks covers? Could have sworn the SMJ account was winning both until the very end, but checking now the did win one of them. So are you telling me there's another person who uses the SMJ proxy that bid higher than you did? That is not a thought I like thinking. D:

I was careless, I never expected anyone to throw more then 25k. Which was what I threw down for of them.

That's insane. You guys got some deep ass pockets.

Thanks for the heads up on that cover Willow. Seems that there are a lot more that have been posted since and they are all averaging 10-11K. I managed to nab it for 10K. I sure as shit hope it's legit. With all of the others averaging around the same price, I think it is, but there's always that fear in the pit of my stomach when buying from auctions. Anyhow, the seller's feedback looks pretty solid and the description read that he'd post a picture after he got back from the event (which he did - was stock shot only at first) and that it would be safely stored in a bag or case...some shit like that.
Here's the one I bid on: http://page5.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e125310828

EDIT: The thing that is already beginning to steam me about this dude's auction is that it isn't packaged the same as some of the others. And THAT has me a little worried.

DOUBLE EDIT: FUUUU- now I'm seeing several different packaging styles:

60k, 28k.... The numbers are so overwhelming!

Marks weborder is up for anyone interested:

thank you, sash! you're the shit. i try to never miss these =D

Uh dude, those are all packaged exactly the same. They just either don't have the entire thing visible in the photo, or folded it in half like in the last one...

I don't know about that. If that last one was folded in half that would be a long, slender package. Maybe a quarter of it is folded under, but doesn't look like it is. And if you look at the top of her hair and the left side of her hair, they are all slightly different. But, I think that I'm safe with my purchase.

Anyone find anything cool or exciting?

Man, I never felt so depressed.

I found out today I actually won Cure Peace's cover.
But damn, Marks have their orders open for the naked versions which I ended up promptly ordering 2 copies.>_<

Would have preferred to win March.

And one of the sellers for Kimi deleted the auction I bidded on and put up a new one? Da ****?

Lawl, you just found out today. :P That's why I asked how much you had bid for those two covers (though you said 30k, so I think you were referring to Kimi) as a SMJ account had won Peace and when you said it wasn't you, I figured that someone had put in a bid higher than you had. That's why I thought it was pretty crazy.

Was kinda bummed about it, because it was a dutch style auction (the seller had two copies), an account was only allowed to win one of each copy. But SMJ's system isn't really set up for dutch auctions, so it wouldn't increase the bid level for an account, and thus there couldn't be a bidding war between SMJ users; once one person secured a bid, no one else was able to bid on it. As such, even though I tried to put in a bid of 31k for March and 29k for Peace (after March was lost), I couldn't secure the bid because you already had it. D:

Oh well, that's the way it works. D: I ordered one of her transformed version on the weborder.

I wasn't sure because the highest bidder at the end wasn't me, so I assume I was the 2nd highest bidder and won a copy.

I ended up bidding on Pixydragon's kimi, need to get back my credit limit from SMJ.

Ah, yeah. I had something similar happen with my auction for Kimi. The seller had two copies, but with a buyout, and I bought first. It showed one bidder but the auction didn't close and just dropped down to one. The other sold and the auction closed, and I just checked the bidding history and saw that I was the winner (though I knew that already given I was the first to buy.) Took SMJ's system like 12 hours before they finally sent me the winning notification.

Just to make sure I got this right... For a 20"x60" pillow, a 50cm x 150cm daki would work?

Lets see... 50cm = 19.685in
150cm = 59.055in
160cm = 62.992in

Yep, you should be fine. At the very least it, it shouldn't have a lot of lack at the end but I don't know how snugly it will fit since 2WT is a stretchy material. Definitely the best available option if you don't want to deal with the hassle of calling them up.

Okay. Thanks Shashin. Now, I've definitely got all the info I need to start buying some more dakis. ^^

No worries, hope it works out for you. ^^ I really need to order some pillows for myself, soon. ^^

Whos getting this Busujima cover by Maidoll; I envy you.

I have enough bidding limit for one more "big ticket" item, but not likely to have enough for two. She's on my list somewhere, but not at the top. So it will all depend on the availability/pricing of the other items on my list.

Well, I'm done for big purchases. Would still like the Maidoll Saeko and a few other things, but my limit is all tied up. Finished with Kimi and Fatalpulse's cover.

Kimi and Fatalpulse's cover is still a nice win, man! Congrats!

Thanks, I'm excited about it. Just need to find a way to pay for all this stuff. D: Just looked at my AmiAmi account and I have like 30k in pending orders for August, and I've bailed on my last two orders from them.
