State of the Neko address: week 64

song+ Sunday Morning- Maroon 5- Songs About Jane
book+ Chronicles of Narnia
quest+ trying to earn enough to order my Seraph in time
upper+ i have enough to sell
downer+ i don't know if they'll sell in time
attire+ pajama shorts and a tank top
drink+ milk! yay milk


so i'm (way) late again with the posting this week, but things are okay. i'm working on following up on the job application i turned in at GameStop a while back. nothing yet, but i'm cautiously optimistic.

i'm sorely tempted by Soom again. i was doing so well for a while, but Roro pointed out Adamelli to me and i'm SO tempted! i want her in her beautiful human form with her little wings to be a Seraph, but Kyu wants her in the unicorn form, so i'm looking to see if it's possible at all to order. my mock order told me i'll need $639 after shipping for both blank and nude (slightly more if i end up doing a layaway). being crazy poor is lame, so i'm now hoping to sell some of the stuff i was fleetingly tempted by before that i no longer have any use for. basically i have a Bygg (whose tail vanished, but is otherwise entirely complete), both Beyla heads and fantasy parts, and the complete outfits of Glot, Skoll, Beyla and Bygg. i'm hoping to successfully sell them, ideally in time to make her order before the deadline of May 25. i've been looking at what other people sell comparable items for and i THINK i have fair prices worked out, but i'm never sure if i'm over-charging for anything. i hate working with numbers. X.x i think my prices are reasonable based on what's searchable in the DoA marketplace and what i initially paid myself, but i'm not quite sure.

in any case, i need to take better sales photos of the outfits and the unicorn bits i'm gonna list. i really wish i knew where the Bygg tail vanished to, but for now i guess i'll just be listing an incomplete doll and adjusting the price accordingly. i think that if i get decent pictures soon though i can have my sales threads up today. i'm optimistic that people will reply eagerly, since i really want this girl. i want her as a little Seraph girl more than i've wanted any other doll in quite some time. if it came down to it, i'd probably be willing to sell my beloved Momo (a Soom Hati) if doing so would for sure get me this girl. i'm not listing Momo yet, i'm thinking the rest of this should be plenty, but i did think about it seriously. the only doll i've wanted more is Vesuvia. i still adore Vesuvia, but i'm fully aware that i'll never realistically be able to afford her. i actually have a (slim) chance of getting Adamelli, so i'm gonna try really hard for her.

*sigh* i'm obsessing over this doll. if i do get the position at GameStop that'll be great, but no way will it be in enough time to fund this endeavor. it's still a while before i know what's up with the job thing, but yeah, cautious optimism. xD

update for anyone interested: i've put up the three sales threads (since dolls can no longer share them) on DOA. Beyla parts, Bygg, and the outfits. feel free to share the links with anyone else that may be interested too.
