Odd Artwork Posted for Auction

Sometimes I wonder why certain artwork gets posted for auction.

What would someone's interest in this acquisition be?:

I don't understand.

Her scarf isn't even centered.

Mandarake combined shipping?

Does anyone know if Mandarake still combines shipping if you win two auction items from the same store within 7-10 days?

Or are you unable to do to combine auctions now because of their new shopping cart system?

The last e-mail I received from them after an auction win didn't say anything about combining shipping. The e-mail only said to put the item in your shopping cart and check out.

Anicyo Shipping

I've looked in various threads on Anicyo, but couldn't find the info I was looking for.

What happens with Anicyo after its Deputy Service receives receives your merchandise?

I know you leave feedback for the seller, but how does Anicyo know when to ship your items and when you want them to hold onto your items for awhile?

Do they automatically mail your items to you after a certain amount of time has passed?

Price Reductions Wishes

I often wish that the YJ posters of cels would lower the price of their items after a few years.

There have been a number of cels I would have gotten in the last couple of years if they had only lowered their price. As time goes on there's going to be less and less interest in the cels from the series. If they keep the prices at the same amount forever just about everyone is going to have moved on to other shows or gotten their fill of the series. The older the cels get the more line fading their cels are going to have.

Anime World Star used to cut some of the prices of their YJ posted cels in half for brief periods. I thought that was a nice idea.

I thought this was a pretty funny idea for the Suigintou fans:
