Ash: And... I don't see it being a problem if we're good for showing up to pick up. Which I intend to. I mean, people made offers to buy the whole lot too. Kuma's just honorable and sticking to what was originally posted about first come, first serve. Yeah no, you're completely right and you are entitled to what you reserved. My point was that likely just an oversight to allow reserving as many posters as anyone wanted...It seems weird doesn't it? that Kuma wouldn't sell 100% to one person but 50% to two? in my opinion it kinda defeats the purpose to NOT sell it all to first person that offered. Especially since you all are exchanging reserved posters...its just more of a headache for the basically same result...

I think the only reason Kuma didn't sell 100% to one person was because that person wasn't the first one to reserve. For example, this being only an example, if I made a reservation that said I want all of them, Kuma probably would've sold it. And.... when you have 100+ posters, reserving them in lot is easier than picking numbers since you're also racing against people. Since Kuma's earlier posts was suggesting poster bundles, 11 Kenshin for 3 bucks was the example, it made me think he wanted to sell them in bulk.

Ok, I have updated the post to reflect the reserves as I have reconciled them (very carefully.) There was one conflict that was not resolved by the posts: Jamven, as far as I can tell #28 still belongs to aideed, therefore your total count is 14 laminates. Please see the chart on the first page to figure out what you've ordered. Totals as of this message: Seph: 41 laminates ($8.25) spaghettiobird: 2 laminates ($0.50) aideed: 27 laminates ($5.50) jamven: 14 laminates ($3.00) MsSei42: 4 laminates ($1.00) cloudy12: 1 laminate ($0.25) salisofknight: 1 laminate ($0.25) ash: 2 laminates ($0.50) Again, all reconciliation was based on first post = reserved. I settled trades based only upon clear confirmation from the first poster that they were releasing to the new claimant. Seph & ash: I am a man of my word. I declared first post, first reserve. I could not in good conscience go back on that despite aideed's rather generous offer. As for the bundles, based on responses I've decided to limit those. If the wallscrolls generate half as much interest, there is simply no need. Although I should perhaps consider a maximum number per person for the scrolls to give people a chance. But if I just put them out at the sale, it would be first come, first buy. Still working hard at processing images.

Well of course picking them in lots will make it easier, unless of course there starts to be a bunch of posts convoluting who has what posters and defeating the purpose of reserving lots.

Why I decided to just stick with everything I reserved and if anyone wants anything, they can just talk it out with me afterwards since most people are coming by my table to pick up their own reserves. @kuma: You are so organized and awesome.... It's amazing. As to bundles... In my experience, it's hard to sell wallscrolls at Nomi since you can't display them anywhere, but anime and manga you should definitely look to bundle them since they come in sets. As well as some figures or anything with a series of characters. Sometimes, you lose all the main characters and no one wants the side ones or villains.

Kuma You are amazing, I stumbled through trying to account for all of them but you just took like 20 mins and had it figured out. Nice Job.

I'll grab the remaining Lain and Tenchi to make it $9 even.
I don't want to be dealing with coins. ^^;;

I saw this whole thing when the original post went up, but for some reason I was intimidated by the $0.25 price tag and chose to stay out of it >.< Not sure if I saved myself a reservation headache or passed on a great deal.

Maybe. The trick is to now resist a 2nd round of checking out what posters were available... otherwise the regrets will settle in XD

If you want a silver lining think about it this way. By not posting you just saved yourself some money.

I pity the day when I attend Anime North and need to concern myself over spending a quarter or not >.< But I agree completely; just means I have more room to stuff my pockets, bags, hotel room, and car with other goodies.

Is wallscroll_29 Eva?
If so, I'll reserve just that one.
