Confidential to BPALers:

Going to NYCC, willing to do a reasonable amount of pickups for people on my flist. However, may not get there till Saturday, no idea how my schedule will be that far in the future. I'll put up a more specific post for paypalling closer to the date if people are interested.

eta: screw making a new post, lolol.

we have already talked about this a bit, but I figured I would comment anyway. :B yes plz.

Definitely!

...i am kinda surprised no one else is taking me up on this. I really hope there's a price list released soon so that I can do paypally shenannigans in a timely fashion.

I think Ronan/

batman also wanted some stuff if you're okay with picking up for non-flist people, but I'm not sure if she's decided what yet.

I have no problem with this! The post is open and no one else is taking me up so it's not like i'm gonna be swamped, she can comment at her leisure.

oh, and how long does it take to transfer money from your paypal --> bank account? my halloweenie decants shipped out friday (I think?) and they'll probably be here before the con, but I can wait on those if they end up taking too long and the whole thing is just a pain in the ass.

Paypal says 3-4 business days to deposit into my bank account, so Oct. 1 would be pretty much the last safe day for me to do the transfer and still allow both parties fuck-around time before monies are where they need to be. That means you've got awhile still to wait on your decants. Has anyone said weenies will be there? Because i wants them.

I swear I remember it being said but I can't find it now. :[

I saw things about weenies at WCWC but as i am approximately as far away from WCWC as you can get and still be in the US...

I'm a little worried that they're not going to have a TON of things because everything would've had to be packed up and shipped to NYCC and that's a lot of packing and shipping of eensy bottles. Or, you know, i could totally be on crack. Or just not getting my hopes up because what i secretly want is a bpal stand full of weenies and trunk show bottles. IT'S SO HARD TO TELL.

baw yes that makes sense. I thhhink lincoln tunnel vortex and lady of lake ronkonkoma are the only two I want then. unless they release the new polishes they've been posting teasers of between now and then and they'll somehow be there. then I think all bets are off. :|a

Beth promised a BPTP NYCC list but hasn't delivered yet. I am sort of deeply afraid. BPTP is the land i try not to enter because then i will be lost in a sea of bath oil and nail polish and doom and moar shipping.

Life is so hard, man. SO HARD.

I only have one of the polishes (most of the other ones currently up are too gothy for me or look like something I already have colour-wise anyway) but I love it. it's really chip-resistant with a proper base & topcoat annnd it looks like some of the new colours are stuff I'd want/wear and this will be bad bad bad bad.

I got a bottle of Robotic Scarab in a swap, which is the only one besides Smokestack that's released and i covet, but i saw that baby blue and a few other things and i may be doomed. And i don't even wear that much nail polish, honestly.

robotic scarab is the one I have! zany. I'm liking the purple and the green in the picture beth posted at least.

I paint my toes a lot more than I do my fingers, but I do both sometimes. my fingers wear off a lot faster than I'd like during the school year when I'm doing lab work so there's not much of a point. which is sad, but what you can do.

oh. and I just found this. ...well.

ffffffffffffffffffffffff puddin whyyyy.

God i want that metallic light blue in the lower right SO BAD. And the green and purple are pretty great too. And now i think i'm going to waste some afternoon painting my toenails Robotic Scarab just because I can.

Woo Beth finally gave an event exclusives price -- $20 for reals now. People were all like 'well derp Liberty was $30 at that event WHO KNOWS' but the Voice of God has spoken. \o/

yeah I thought liberty was so pricey anyway because it was a CBLDF (or... similar?? SOMETHING) scent. $20 is ace, I have money in my paypal for wheneverrr though there should be an update out any day now so hmm :|a

yeah i'm thinking the lunacy is going to prooobably hit tonight. possibly along with last unicorn, and then everyone is going to be too broke for NYCC. except last unicorn is supposed to be a GC line, i thought, so if anything appeals i am not personally in a rush, especially if they'll...be at NYCC.

except if a CD update goes live i am so fucked, because there are like three CD protos i've had an eye on but pfff buying protos.

basically this is an evil season.

Okay so the nitty gritty, i think we finally have most of it from the mouths of labbies.

-weenies/inquisitions/les seem like they'll be there, along with lots of gc catalogue.
-dawn scents will be there (ugh, rose).
-bptp has exclusive atmo sprays, sob.
-no word on bottle limits, so hopefully there won't be any, but 1 bottle of any given scent plz, i don't really want to be that asshole buying twelve bottles of one thing.
-if there ARE proto nail polishes, i am totally picking some of those bad boys up and we can haggle later.

re: shipping:
-$3.50 for up to 5 bottles, +.50 for each additional 2 bottles. if you want an atmo spray, that'll knock it up to $5 for anything because I'll have to put it in a box and it's heavier. the hell with priority flat rate, that shit is bananas.

Whatever you decide, monies by Oct. 1 please! If for any reason I can't get something, I'll refund you when I have computer access (probably any night of the con).

my weenie decants had the most excellent timing and got here in the mail today! so I'll go through those and get back to you on what I want once I have time to test. :B everything else sounds ace!

It would seem that my heterocanadian partner has already commented for me! Uhh, do you want me to say what I'd like picked up now or later?

Ummm...let me know what you're thinking of now. I might not bother to make another post (given the explosion on the forums and bpalcomms i was expecting more comments), so that's just easier. Shipping to Aussieland will probably be in the neighborhood of $6 unless you want a bigillion bottles or trading post things. You know the shipping drill.

Okay so the nitty gritty, i think we finally have most of it from the mouths of labbies.

-exclusives are $20.

re: shipping:
-$6 for up to 5 bottles, +.50 for each additional 2 bottles. if you want an atmo spray, that'll knock it up to $8 for anything because I'll have to put it in a box and it's heavier. the hell with priority flat rate, that shit is bananas.

Whatever you decide, monies by Oct. 1 (US time) please! If for any reason I can't get something, I'll refund you when I have computer access (probably any night of the con).

THUS FAR cry cry (I haven't got my weenie decants in yet as they were only mailed last week) it looks like:

The Lady of Lake Ronkonkoma
The Lincoln Tunnel Vortex
Mount Misery and Sweet Hollow Roads
The White Lady of that place.
Coney Island Creek.

I FEEL SO INDULGENT if this is too much let me know and I can cull it. :x

And the money should be sent your way!

...and wow paypal, 1 US dollar = .95AU? hell yes.

The paypal has landed! And yeah, the US dollar is sucking hardcore lately. Totally to your advantage!

It's almost like the US economy wants me to blow ridic sums on ebay.

Well. Who am I to ignore the wishes of a superpower. To ebay!

I have been heavily debating... but uh, is there a list of scents/prices for me to look at because I'm totally intrigued. /o\

No price-list yet but con exclusive scents are listed here. Sibyl isn't one of them, (it's for the West Hollywood Book Fair only), but all the rest are NYCC. There's no price list yet, but the con scents will prooobably be $20-22 a bottle, since that seems to be the LE going rate right now. A good bit of the bpal GC catalog will probably also be there, which you can check out on the website. No one's said anything one way or the other about Weenies, so I wouldn't count on those. Shipping from me to you would be $3.50 on top of perfume costs.

...Oh man why does The Elephantine Colossus have to have such a fabulous name. :|a

Not only does it have the best name and a fabulous description, but it is probably going to be a fabulous smell. That's the most requested one in the bpal community for folks to pick up. I kinda want one too ;;

I kind of do too! I just like... am hesitant to drop $20 on something I've never smelled, despite how wonderful it sounds. I WILL CONTEMPLATE A LITTLE MORE. :x

It sounds so logical when you put it that way, but god i buy things unsniffed ALL THE TIME. Sometimes this ends in tragedy. On the upside, if you didn't like it, it'd be really, really easy to sell.

That is true, it certainly would be... I WILL HAVE AN ANSWER BY END OF THE DAY TOMORROW (technically today, I am so good at looking at clocks. :x)

Okay so I thought about it... I think I'll pass this time around. Hopefully someone will decant some or something, but yeah, I'm not sure I can really justify it, at least, not without serious guilt.

IF YOU GET SOME, YOU SHOULD LET ME KNOW HOW AWESOME IT IS. &hearts

Don't worry, I'm sure there will be things floating around lj/the forum after the con if you decide you want to give it a shot after all. ♥
