a day late again, but for damn good reason this week. xD yesterday morning was cleaning the bedroom so i could rearrange it for better New Year energy flow, then in the afternoon i spent seriously 8 hours cataloging and photographing all the doll clothes i have that never get used. some outfits i bought for dolls i no longer own, others are parts of sets where i really only wanted one of the items, and the rest are the result of my obsessive need to buy a whole collection when i really only want one small part of it. today i still have accessories and shoes to go through, then i'll be listing all the surplus for sale. if it sells quick enough, part of the proceeds will go to buying me a Vesuvia from Soom's event offer a bit later this month (available from the 11th to the 25th), if that doesn't happen, the next thing on the list is a new computer, followed by several things for the betterment of our living situation. but yeah, i hadn't realized quite how much we had in the way off doll clothing, when kyu saw my compiled list and organized bundles his response was "i think it's BREEDING" to which i said "no, what worries me is i can think of specific items i'm missing." i'll just have to see if those things turn up later.

Vesuvia is my dream doll, i know i've mentioned her before. i've tried to buy her, but the original release was small, and when she's offered for sale it's generally an incomplete doll at an absurd markup. she was initially $710 bald, blank and eye-less. i've never found the outfit or her eyes offered on the DOA marketplace, but i've (rarely) seen her. $2,000 for most of the doll- but not the scorpion tail, or $2,500 for all the parts.. blank and unpainted with damage to the special feet. they also still sold before i could manage to negotiate anything every time, so this is something i'm REALLY desperate to pull off. thus, the inventory clear-out is happening. i'm okay with having her in a normal skin tone, it was actually the Pearl Violet that had me hesitating ordering her in the first place and missing my chance, so anything i think can possibly make me money, i'm gonna try to sell in the next few weeks.
