Okay, here at DDD??

New way to get what you want.

Sound good?

It IS!

So this technically isn't a list, right? I know. But what it is is all about a new way of making an offer—not counting the sad tale of Google problems, all of which descriptions follow. 

First of all, the new way of making an offer: I'm going to be awarding all requested items to the highest offer (sent to "my last name", which is code to fool spammers. Clever, huh?), so give it your best shot—you'll only get one! At each individual item, that is. You can offer on as many as you please. The more the merrier say I! Back to the one offer/one item thingy: NO, I'm not being mean. I think it's a good idea because, if you're like me? You'll over-extend yourself in a bid-off just to win—that compulsive gambler thing. 

Also, if everyone who wants something gives it their best on the first go 'round, things don't drag out, no one (we hope) over extends, temptation is gone before anybody thinks about an item too much getting something they sort of want instead of something they've just got to have because, you know, competition. If you rethink your offer after you have won an item, just let me know privately and I will give it to the next-best offerer. No harm, no foul! This is the way they do it in those fancy auction places in New York and Paris. Or if that is just something I made up and it really isn't, it should be! ;D

Does this method make any sense at all? I'll put out what I don't want less-than, a base price, on some of the items—the ones I really don't want to let go of. Which. You may well ask why I put them out to sell in the first place. If you come up with the answer, tell me! If you can figure it out, I'll even give you a 5% discount or pay the shipping, whichever is less, on whatever you buy! Here's a little hint: I have no place to sit down in my doll room. Um, or half my living room either for that matter, because dolls/dollstuff. Truth.

When you are awarded an item, you can write me back and tell me how you want it sent and I will respond with the amount of postage unless your offer is generous enough to make that unnecessary. I am not in this to make enough to retire to Monte Carlo. I just want to be sure these things go to people who really want them rather than people who automatically wave their hands in the air shouting "Pick me! Pick me!" like that annoying know-it-all kid in 4th grade. 

   

So this technically isn't a list, right? I know. But what it is is all about a new way of making an offer—not counting the sad tale of Google problems, description of which follow. 

   

Okay, I'll confess. I also want enough $$ to buy shoes and furniture and backdrops and like that for my American Model Miss Goth 2012. So shoot me. As I have said before, the reason I'm abandoning the 16±" ladies is that I can't sew that tinyly. Is that really a word? I can't sew that teeny tiny is what I meant.

Another confession: This is not the post I was going to post. That post has something very wrong with the type fonts. They are not behaving. I put "large" and they come out "teeny tiny" (see paragraph above), but only in some places. Other places they come out WAY WAY LARGE. Then in one place, all the internal instructions the computer talks to itself with to tell itself what to do? Printed it all out on the page...like I actually care what its little innards are doing. 

So. Make me your best offer and I take the best best offer or maybe the best sob-story about how you have to have the item because your cat can only get well wearing that particular dolly hat and no other and you don't have much money because vet bills. Or your best friend must have that outfit for her doll or she will go crazy and be sent to the asylum and you will be stuck having her kids at your house to take care of because her husband is in Siberia mining tigers...or something. Whatever. I'm a sucker for helping sick kitties and crazy friends, secret story. Mostly because I've had my share of both. Or was it sick friends and crazy kitties? Never mind. You'll think of something.
