I am getting MASSIVELY CONFUSED about this actually.

It's a Shepard Fairey print. (The Obama poster guy.)
So it would not surprise me if he grabbed the image off Google since he infringed AP press's copyright when making the Obama image.
but I looked and apparently it's a collboration with a NYC photographer named Kai Regan, who took the photo... whaaa?

Maybe it's a cosplayer?

Bizarre nonetheless.

It looks more like a female cosplayer than Mana to me, that seems to make sense.
The face shape is girlier than Mana's and it's got boobs.

Also I feel like I've seen that cosplay before. :| idk, though.

I'd go after that poster and some of the others they're selling, but too pricey right now. I'm out like $2,500 from the car wreck ::hora::

Ooh! tell us if you get them!
I won them! :D I'm sure it will be a while before they actually get around to shipping them though.

That's great! Those posters are really awesome.

If you ever decide to sell them ;) I'd be interested.

I'm a little confused and a tad bit overwhelmed with using a shopping service however three items I really want I have only seen on Yahoo Auctions. So I'm caving in :P

Is Celga what most Scapers use? Does anyone have a gold membership or is it better to just use PayPal? I'm a tad bit crazy about giving out my card information, so I guess maybe better to go with just PayPal.

"Regular members must e-mail in their bid and 50% prepayment in advance"
If I lose an item, do I get refunded?

I don't use the "gold" service. You don't get refunded unless you request the money back, it just sits in your Celga account to be put towards the next thing you bid on.

I find Crescent Shop easier. They have an automated system that lets you place the bids yourself in real time. Their fees are a little less than Celga's as well.
Your deposit is based on your "bidding limit". So if you make a $50 deposit, you can bid up to 25,000 yen, and so on. If you later want to increase your bidding limit, you just add to your deposit.

With Celga, you send a bid request with a link to the auction and whatever your max bid is, and then they'll prompt you for a deposit (50% of your max bid). When you pay the deposit they'll send you a confirmation mail. Then you just wait, because they'll bid for you up to your max bid.
With a gold account you do the bidding yourself, but it costs more. It's probably a good option for people who buy a lot of stuff though.

Okie dokie! Thanks!

Do they both ship by EMS? Or was it just Celga? I got one item I want from Closet Child though. :D

Bah, my stupid need for CDs from dumb old bands. :P

Your collection is becoming impressive, though.



I like Crescent Shop also. It's just simpler.
