> How much time does it takes to find a dress in average?
I'm primarily AP sweet so every other DD has taken a few months tops. I keep getting ridiculously lucky with the dress at least becoming suddenly available.
> How often do you check second hand sales?
Daily, but not obsessively. Usually just once when I wake up while I catch up on notifications, then once before bed. I used to check a ton but life's too short to be stressed over that desu. If it's not there when I go to bed, it's not like my SS can get it anyway.
> The longest search: how much time did it take? What item was that?
6 years for MM's Custard Rose JSK.
> How do you keep yourself motivated when looking for something really obscure?
Just check regularly and stop obsessing over it, there are other beautiful things to wear in the meantime. I didn't really get demotivated, but I did enjoy making collages and looking for things to match, so that might help.
