I'd love to know what Harry would make of this.

>>8764467
Amazing.

>>8764464
Who cares? I've seen cosplayers sell limited runs of photos for that price or even higher. If she was selling dozens of prints that would be odd but if it's a unique item $25 is not out of the question. That's a lot of buttmad over nothing.

>>8766857
I just think it's a bit high, considering she's not in cosplay or Lolita. It's not even a print, but lije a 4 x 4 polaroid image.

>>8764464
That bitch is not even relevant to be selling that shit.

>>8767169
Exactly
Famous cosplayers could maybe get away with it, but not Venus

>>8766857
People are buttmad because she's constantly trying to make money off her fans instead of doing something like working. She just recently did another fundraising campaign but this time it was for a studio for videos aka bigger living space. I don't think she even hit $300 but she keeps on doing stuff like this so she's currently desperate for money.

>>8768357
Honestly, I can't see her doing anything but going on cam at this rate. It's like she actively tries to make her life worse.

>Puppet Circus JSK in Black on LSE
>"At the moment I'm taking offers and if I receive enough offers that are all around the same price I will hold a private groupchat with all interested parties for the sake of transparency and fairness. That way everyone knows whom they are bidding against and what they are bidding."
um wtf? if i'm buying your dress for that fucking much i'm not going to jump through fucking hoops and a groupchat to do it, especially in a way where bids aren't bound. just list it on LM as an auction and let people bid there FFS and stop trying to scalp for even more than you're already probably getting.

>>8769082
Yea I don't understand why she won't list it on LM. A group chat is really stupid since someone can just go "I bid $2000" and then disappear so... ???

>>8769082
Christ, milk that PC a little more before you give it away, huh?

>>8769082
I really think mods should step in, this is actually sort of dodgy.

>>8769082
Okay, this is different. What does she expect to happen? A bunch of girls immediately hating each other and throwing money at her out of spite? A bonding experience where new friends are formed? Is she going to model the JSK and ask for 'help' with coords while people sit awkwardly and decide if it's worth giving this bitch money for a rare dress?

This release isn't even going to ship until the end of January. Did she really think someone was going to wait that long. Or even do a direct trade for the Little Mermaid dress which is considerably harder to find. These newfags kill me sometimes.

>>8769082
What the fuck, just list it for auction. That's dogdy.

This girl wanted me to sell my DDC to her for $100 SHIPPED to france. It costs $20 for me to ship to France and she basically insulted me for charging $100+ $20 shipping. Now this bitch is trying to sell her replica for $120? Wtf.

>>8775488
Not to mention she wants you to ask for shipping. Wow.

>Selling materials for Elsa costume for $200

>>8768629
More like her mother is actively making her life worse. At this point I think Venus is in too deep to ever escape her mother's bullshit.

>>8775591
If someone's charging $200 for that, they should be steaming out the wrinkles themselves beforehand. Holy shit.

>>8775488
Your real DDC or did you have a replica too.

>looking for love live Kotori wig
>Girl in group says she's selling that it's like new and high quality synthetic. Inform her I do have thick hair which contrasts my small head
>swears it's roomy.
>provides her in cosplay and one out of bag (which I now assume was when she got it. Not after a few wears as she claimed.)
>Buy, it arrives.
Most ratty cheap ebay buy wig I've ever seen. The side ponytail would make for a decent birds nest with how horrid it looks. Nor would this wig fit a 10 year old. It even looks small on my wig heads.
Why do people insist on selling things they know are shit?
You're just gonna get bad reviews and avoided in groups for selling.

>>8776499
Name and shame so we know who to avoid.

>>8776499
Should've gotten her to post a picture of her wearing the wig herself.

>>8775591
the materials and colours aren't even right

>>8775678
Seriously doesnt she live in Korea now?what the fuck are they moving so much for?

sorry to be so clueless, but where does venus sell polaroids of herself?
it's sad if they're people who actually buy them lol

>>8777278
Instascam and her website

>>8775488
french people are the worst

>>8775591
jfc just salvage the materials for something else. It's your fault for being so lazy and "falling out of interest" with it.

>selling a h.naoto replica JSK
>for $150
>"URGENT SALE"

Lol. That username too, ew. All their stuff is hilariously overpriced, saying that it's "URGENT!!!" won't make people buy things for more than 2x their market value/over retail for lucky pack dresses or 3x retail price for a replica.

>>8777322
Maybe I'm just a heartless bitch but seeing URGENT OMG SO DESPERATE PLS I NEED MONEY on a sale doesn't make me more likely to consider it, it just makes me judge the seller for their crappy financial management skills. Especially when the reason they need money ASAP is because there's a new AP release coming up rather than medical bills or whatever.

>>8777328
I assume most people would have thoughts like that. The only time they should be advertising that way is if the price is actually cheaper and they're desperate for an emergency. It can't be urgent if it's retail or priced up.

>>8775488
What a snobby brat.

>>8777278
Instagram, her website, and at one point she had a gofundme to fund a filming stereo in Korea and had polaroids as a contribution prize, but the page was pulled down since hardly anyone donated.

>go on ebay
>looking for cheap secondhand Bodyline
>all one seller
>everything new with tags
>all prices are more than listed on Bodyline
>doesn't even include shipping
>shipping is another $6

You must be fucking kidding me.

>>8777883
And that's more than listed on Bodyline for their USD prices too.

She has a facebook page? Just to sell her second hand Lolita stuff?? Am I high or

>>8779173
I must be high what the fuck am I reading

>>8779176
What does she have listed?

>>8779190
It's literally just Lolita dresses. It's just her wardrobe. She links to her lacemarket account but damn she doesn't need a whole page for it, what the hell.

>>8779221
she can do what she wants calm the fuck down

>>8779173
This is so self-important oh my god, what's her deal? Sales groups not good enough for her?

>>8777328
>>8777335
I had to sell stating the situation was urgent as my mother was out of the country and I literally came home one night to find my dad had gone abroad as well. I had to take care of the groceries, a teenage boy and travel to an unpaid internship all of a sudden. Plus I got a shock overpayment letter from student finance demanding £3k that week. I still got two people asking me to hold and item for a month then one dropped out and the other took 2 weeks to pay me after I gave her the item,

>>8779221
>>8779241
Sometimes people post their sales in a public album on their own FB pages and share it to groups. I don't see this as anything different. It sounds convenient at the very least.

>>8779303
Well, that's a bit more urgent than needing funds for lucky pack season.
How come you gave someone an item before they paid in full?

shoutout to this buyer

>>8779173
More people do it. Sometimes it easier for that person. I know someone who made one, because she doesn't want family members to comment on her sales post.
Her mother argued with a buyer, who already had an agreement on the dress, about bidding to low for it.

>>8777883
dis bitch? http://www.ebay.com/usr/krl71391?_trksid=p2047675.l2559
I swear they've been relisting the same dresses since 2014 since they won't sell

>>8779604
Yep that's them. I didn't realize they had that much for sale though.

>$84.50 BIN for USED Bodyline carousel dress

>>8779604
I'm tried of seeing USED bodyline on ebay for MORE than what we would sell on LM. Wtf?

>>8779848
It's to prey on newbies that don't know about places like Lacemarket, egl, etc. It's shitty, but I'm sure someone falls for it now and then.

Is she for fucking real??

>>8779876
? That seems about standard for a camgirl??

>>8779876

>>8779876

>>8779876
Oh her. The one who made a huge stink when she was preggers that people were mean to her.

>>8779882
I'm a cam girl. No. We do 50 bucks for snap for life or $5 a month. But that's because we have LOTS of fans. Cheap is best that way.

>>8775591
those colours are fucking wrong though

>>8779868
I've found really good deals on ebay post-LP season, but it's absolutely crammed with shit otherwise. There are a couple of pieces that sell for normal market value and some cheaper ones, but they tend to go fast and don't come up often.

>>8780154
I'd say $5 is low, it's normally 10-15 from my experience and what ive seen

>>8775591
tumblr probably made her 'stop liking' Frozen
kek

>>8775488
Someone needs to call her out.

>>8779876
People are so desperately shameless.
I'll give that homely girl $10 as charity.

This was on the Cosplay Sales facebook group
>original one piece cosplay
>$100
>cost $130 at shows and cons

>>8780561
>$50 for Olive costume
>doesn't even zipper in the back
>complete Halloween tier

Who's going to pay $50 for a dress that's held together in the back by a tie?

>>8780154
No one is shaming this camwhoring slut? 4chan has really gone to shit. Since when did this place become a hugbox for thieves?

i don't believe i've seen a set sell for this high before.

>>8780717
Are you really that retarded?
She was just talking about the price, not talking about slut shaming.

>>8780911
no, OP is complaining that no one is shaming the sex worker.
OP needs to go and sit down and think about their life choices.

>>8779173
Hi this is me. I don't want to have publicly accessible photo albums on my personal Facebook, also this makes it much easier to manage the photo albums, as well as messages through the fb page manager rather than find out I missed a message due to my personal FB security settings.

>>8779176
I just wrote the first thing that came into my head if i tried to explain what the purpose was to someone who had no idea what they were looking at. Sorry if it sounds weird.

>>8780944
sex work is the worst thing in the world.

>>8780954
Also to add, the analytics let me see which items have a lot of interest, lots of views and I might hold off repricing, not a lot of views I will reprice or bump the album on the feed.

>>8766857
KANA has sold mini Polaroids for $40-$60.

>>8780956

>>8780561
ugh I'm in that group too. I saw that post and laughed. Most of the posts in that group are WAY overpriced. Why can't weebs price things correctly

>>8780956
For unattractive, close minded people, sure.
But for some good looking, sociable people who don't mind profiting from aspects of themselves (different to the typical brains, strength, etc) and would rather spend a majority of their time living comfortably and enjoying the large amount of money they make without working long, inflexible, dire hours it can be quite wonderful!

If you happen to be looking for a job and don't look how I imagine you to I recommend considering it

>>8780839
A dress sold for $10,000 this year, can't remember which but I think it was Baby. The one you posted has no bids.

>>8781356
Sorry, but I'd rather keep my dignity than be a whore. Oh sure, try to peg me with your lowbrow "oh, you're just an ugly prude tee hee~" insults, that's fine. I'd rather work hard at university and accomplish something that might help people other than myself someday, than take off my clothes for strange men for the next 10 years.

But hey, keep doing you. I suppose the world will always need prostitutes.

>>8781356
That field of work isn't for me at all, but also see it as a way of using your body or assets to support yourself. Some people use their brains, some use their muscles, some their vocal cords or hands, etc.

Personally, if someone works in a safe environment/nothing illegal or dangerous and it makes them feel satisfied why the heck can't they choose what to do with their own bodies?

>>8781562
you sound very butthurt over something you can't control and have no business in, sounds like youre trying to make your meaningless life less shitty.
enjoy paying off your thousands in student debt before you decide to kill yourself in your 30s

>Pay me $20 more per pair of shoes so I can give you the privilege of buying them for you!

Fuck off

>>8781803
Why would you even tell people you found them at a thrift store? Just make a sales post and you won't look like a shitlord.

>>8781807
Because a story gets more attention than a normal sale. And this is about the attention, not the sale.

>>8781809
Shows you where my priorites are, I guess.

>sell Bodyline 4L dress
>list the actual size, measurements, and even state it would fit an American XL/XXL at max
>few weeks later, see my picture of the dress being used in a new listing
>WTF?
>listing includes my original listing and then adds: This really does fit like an XL! So sad it doesn't fit.
So wait, you bought this thinking it was a 4L when I even listed the measurements? The fuck?

>bought my dress back; sellers remorse
>perfect condition - wonder why she didn't take a new pic for her listing?

>>8781562
Oh honey, you don't want to know how many university girls cam because of study debts.

>>8781562
"Work hard at university"
Lol university is literally sugar baby/cam girl/stripper central but okay

>>8781562
Not sure how using your personal assets and being your own boss to make lots of money isn't dignified but w/e

not a specific instance but I hate when I buy or even enquire about something and the seller says "I hate to let it go for ~so cheap~ but I need the money" like...okay...? it's such a weird, vaguely guilt-trippy thing to say and it makes me really uncomfortable.

Please don't say this if you're selling something, it puts me and probably others off.

>>8781843
I had someone do this too me, but to add salt to the popcorn they mentioned that

>"seller didn't give correct sizing before she bought it"
>removed and altered the dress without giving damage details on the listing with my original pics.
>told admin, admin told her to fix the problems
>she said that it was basically all my doing and that I damaged it without telling
>she got banned from sales group for being basically a scammer.

Happy ending!

>>8783332
For me it's just a way of justifying selling low. I usually get suspicious when I see a decent dress with a low price, thinking it might be damaged and the seller is trying to hide it. Adding comment like your quote makes it seem like the seller is not trying to scam anyone, just innocently needs money.
But then I might just be overthinking it.

>>8779876
I hate to surprise /cgl/'s delicate senses, but exclusive snapchats are a thing. And there's people out there who guard those usernames with their lives.

Not sure who's making me cringe more. The cheapskate OP or the two "experts" who are spoonfeeding her fucking etsy links.

>>8764467
i wanna say this is dumb but i honestly wish i had it sitting on my shelf.

>>8783543
There's nothing wrong with wanting a sub 100 dress. I've bought some very pretty offbrand dresses for 70-80$.

>>8783624
It's the fact she's having everyone do the work for her, and then picking and choosing what she will and will not take.

>>8783624
Hell one of my favorite velvet IW JSKs was $54 in like new condition. $100 is way enough for non-print brand!!

>>8783677
>Ask for help
>get suggestions
>No thanks, this one is not quiet what I'm looking for

...is this bad?

>>8781803
>price tag is right fuckin there

>>8783726
If you're asking for, what is essentially a, personal shopper, then yes.

>>8783739
Oh anon, you're paying for the hard work and effort that it takes to walk to a store and buy things! How can you NOT justify adding $20 to the price of the shoes that aren't even hers yet?

>>8783371
This is fair; I guess I never thought about it that way, so that makes sense and makes the comments make more sense to me! I'd rather have a weird comment than a damaged dress for sure.

>>8783726
Yep. If you ask for help and advice and it's total bullshit, you say thanks. If it's decent, you say thanks and follow through.
She was super vague about styles in the op too, she should have mentioned that brown doesn't fit in her wardrobe instead of just turning offers down like that.

>>8783612
Elf on the Shelf for the kids you most hate.

>>8783717
Got a really cute Baby piece for 100$. It's satisfying to buy affordable brand you also love.

>>8783624
Same here, I bought a Baby Headpiece+JSK set that was worth 26,000 yen and found it for only 11,800 yen with international shipping included.

Definitely a lucky find, now I'm searing all over Taobao for the perfect blouse to coordinate.

>>8783677
>>8784537
Is that... not what a WTB is? I seriously don't see the issue here, she's looking to buy items that are priced under $100, presumably gothic ones from her post. Unless I'm misreading and she wants a whole outfit for under $100? Yes she could stand to be more specific about what she likes, but I still think this is a bit much of a reaction to a WTB post.

>>8784965
yes, she wants a whole outfit, and she is giving literally no information about she wants other than 'gothic'. that is outright being lazy. at least list colours, cuts and plain or print

>>8767160
>considering she's not in cosplay or Lolita
Are you new?

>>8784965
A WTB is usually more specific (eg. WTB Merry Making in Ghost Town, X colourway and Y cut), not "I have $100, and want a gothic dress, so post everything you have so I can pick and choose."
