[Group Orders] Trading Card money pool, and small Animate order

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

Not as large scale as September's Speakots or October's Book Covers, but I promised this comm orders for these, and here they are~



Both orders will consist of two payments:
Payment 1 - Item Cost
Amounts listed below.
For Animate items, this will begin on August 10th. For non-Animate cards, this will be collected as boxes are filled.
Payment 2 - Shipping in and from Japan, plus shipping to you
The first half of this can't be determined ahead of time. However, my shipping rates are viewable here.



First up, the easy stuff-- Animate Goods

Clear Pocket Files will be 900 yen each.
There's only one design; the picture shows both the front and back.
Mini Clear Posters will be 750 yen each.
There's two designs, so please specify whether you'd like A (France/Japan/England/America) or B (Allies).



Next, Trading Cards!


Because we can't know what we're buying ahead of time, we can't make this a normal group order. Instead, we're going to just throw money together and see what happens!

Every 500 yen will get you 10 cards, and it's possible to make as many character claims as you'd like.
Your claims will be used when sorting the cards, giving you an advantage over simply buying a sealed pack.
If buying enough that claims can't apply to your Normal cards, they'll apply to your SP cards instead.

In the event that we don't pull enough of your chosen characters, you'll be able to choose someone else at Charge 2.

Our price chart is as follows:
500 yen - 10 cards
1,000 yen - 20 cards
1,500 yen - 30 cards
2,000 yen - 40 cards (1 SP)
2,500 yen - 50 cards (1 SP)
3,000 yen - 60 cards (2 SP)

More than 60 cards may be purchased, however please keep in mind that this set contains only 54 Normal cards.

Every 3,500 yen will get us one box without store-exclusives. However, depending on interest, I can upgrade boxes to come with the following Animate card for 1,500 yen each:



Money Raised: 7,000 (2 Boxes)
Cards Claimed: 140 (2 Boxes)
Cards Needed for Box 1: 0
Cards Needed for Box 2: 0
Cards Needed for Box 3: 70 (3,500 yen)
Cards Needed for Box 4: 140 (7,000 yen)


UPDATE, August 10: The order has closed~!

We'll be getting two boxes of cards, so here are our totals:
Please send your amount in bold as a goods payment to vailo@fastmail.fm with your username included in the note.

Hopefully our parcel should ship soon!

Hey! I would like to claim the Nordics, BeNeLux, and Spain/South Italy.

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

Sounds good. >w<
Any amount in mind?

[lilredlfc.livejournal.com]

Would 3,000 yen be a good amount? I know that'll be to much but we can just put whatever I don't get in cards to what I owe you.

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

W-well, refunding would force me to pay more than I can afford at the moment.

IF the order manages to get big, I'm more than willing to make an exception just because of the amount of Cafe stuff we've got piled up. But otherwise, I don't think there's any way I can offer that right at the start. ;~;

Given the lack of any World 8 in your character selection, would you rather go for 40 or 30 cards, so there's a bit less potential loss?
It's super possible to order a small amount for now, and raise it when the order's more stable >w<

[lilredlfc.livejournal.com]

That's fine with me!

I'd be okay with only getting 30-40 cards to start because it's most likely a better plan than getting 60 because my characters aren't that popular.

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

Okay sorry for the delay; I added you to the list for 30 for now, so it's easier on both of our wallets. >w<
If you need it changed at any point, just let me know~

[lilredlfc.livejournal.com]

S'all good! Thanks. <3

[lilredlfc.livejournal.com]

Two things really quick.

1. Can I add Liechtenstein and Switzerland to my claims please? I realize that they are most likely not in this set but better safe then sorry right?
2. Would you mind if I paid you right now? I am not sure if I'll have time on the 10th and again I'd rather be safe then sorry.

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

Sure! :O

So that's either 1500 as a gift, or 1605 as goods.
My paypal's still vailo@fastmail.fm ;w;

[lilredlfc.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Payment has been sent. :D

[austriaxprussia.livejournal.com]

Woo! Let's go with 2000 yen for now.

I would like to claim Austria, Hungary, Belarus, Estonia, Canada. If that's too many claims, I can knock it down to Austria and Hungary. ^^

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

Alright~! Added you in. >w<

And really given how scattered most card sets are, no number of characters is too many xD

[austriaxprussia.livejournal.com]

Okie dokies, payment sent. ^^ Thanks for another group order of wonderful things.

[plaguedoctors.livejournal.com]

Hi, can I get 500 yen for 10 cards, claiming Austria and Prussia? :D Thanks so much!

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

Added~ ;w;

[plaguedoctors.livejournal.com]

Yey, thanks! :D

[plaguedoctors.livejournal.com]

Paid! :D Thanks again!

[raz2b.livejournal.com]

I've ordered a box from Not animate; but I can definitely throw the 1500 at you for that exclusive card.

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

Alright, added in. ;w;
I'll make sure at least one box is from Animate~

[raz2b.livejournal.com]

Thanks so, so much X33

[middletails.livejournal.com]

Clear file B Please! :D

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

Added~
There's only one pocket file design, so I've marked you down for clear poster B. Let me know if that needs changing?

[middletails.livejournal.com]

I'd like that special animate card but do I need to get a whole box? I already preordered thorough ami ami.

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

Nope, just the difference. So 1,500 yen. You can get the one from Box 2. ;w;

[middletails.livejournal.com]

Thanks for putting in my claims! :D

Can I also get Clear file A as well?

[middletails.livejournal.com]

Clear poster I mean! ^^;

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

Added~ ;w;

[rikushairflip.livejournal.com]

Do you order animate goods that are not just for hetalia like manga?

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

Depending on the release date, I could see if it would fit with any orders I'm doing?

[rikushairflip.livejournal.com]

Oh cool! I'm trying to get the Animate edition of the Finder manga http://www.animate-onlineshop.jp/special/finder_2013/pc/

It is the one with both characters in the festival clothes. It comes out August 10 if that works?

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

So just to confirm, this one (http://www.animate-onlineshop.jp/products/detail.php?product_id=1211579)?

It would have separate domestic shipping (700 yen), but since it's another August item I could definitely get it into the same shipment from Japan.
However, something to be aware of: Because it's a manga, it's likely to be somewhat heavy. Shipping will get pretty expensive, and it's unfortunately not something I can determine ahead of time. ;~;

If that all sounds alright, Charge 1 would be 1145 yen before my own commission. I'm not 100% sure what I would charge on top of it, though, in this case. Certainly over 100 yen, but most likely under 500? I'm open to suggestions. ;w;

[rikushairflip.livejournal.com]

Yes that's the one! And I understand about the shipping, unfortunately I have to be the person wanting a manga instead of cards haha Sorry about that!

Would 300 yen work for the commission? I'm just throwing that out if you think it's too low then it's no problem :) So to clarify, are you saying the cost would be 1145 yen, your commission, and then shipping to me? Or is there another charge?

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

Mostly! However there's three shipping charges.
A quick copypaste from this entry, Charge 2 consists of "Shipping in and from Japan, plus shipping to you"

"in Japan" will be the 700 yen I mentioned about. The next two will depend on the weight.

300 sounds alright with me, though, so Charge 1 would become 1445.
Charge 2 would then be 700 yen, plus a small unknown amount, plus at least $8.

Is that still going to be alright?

[rikushairflip.livejournal.com]

Oh I think I misread your post, for some reason I thought the 700 yen would be less because it'd be in the group order. 1145 for charge 1, charge 2's 700 yen, the unknown amount, and the $8? Hm...

I really want the volume but I can't justify spending $30 something for a volume of manga ;_; Curse the stuff I want to buy! Thanks for taking the time to explain everything.

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

D: Yeah, sadly Animate's shipping is a flat rate 700 yen, no matter how much or how little you get. (the site claims it's 400, but they don't mention the increased bank fee)
Since the cards and posters will be released on the 22nd, they'll be a combined 700 yen, but unfortunately, the book would be a separate shipment since it's so much earlier.

It's alright, though! At least you know most of the cost, now. ;w;

[raz2b.livejournal.com]

Wanna do a partial trade for a Russia+Germany badge set? If you need the moeny though, lemme know!

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

I do actually need the money, since I have so many orders going on at once.
We can definitely make it a trade when we get to shipping, though!

[raz2b.livejournal.com]

No worries! Sending payment now~

[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

\o/

I can't check paypal from work, but I'll get you marked off as paid shortly.

>w< The cards are all ordered~!
