[cutesherry.livejournal.com]

Sakura's Fortune Magic ichiban kuji started today, November 12d, in Japan.

From the first look at the auctions on yahoo.co.jp auctions, the most expensive items are as expected: prize H (a collection of 9 rubber straps) and the Special Prize (illustration). Everything else can be purchased at a decent cost, without ruining yourself ^^

Here are all the countdown little images which has been uploaded on the official website of the lottery during this past month: 1 month left, 3-2-1 weeks left, 5-4-3-2-1 days left, for a total of 9 pictures which features all 9 chibis drawn by CLAMP for this event.







And then we got D-Day! :D

Illustration so expensive T ---T It's all I want Dx! but i can't find one less than 8,000JPY...and omg the straps CuteSherry! A set I've seen at 7,000JPY +!  I really hope these will go down after a week or so cause that is too expensive ; --; Our highly wanted items are turning out to be incredibly hard to get atm..

Good news, as you mentioned before the mirror seems to be really decently priced and the blanket :U!

Yes, I know, I was checking on them just now, right before coming here T__T
Both the illustrations and the straps are really expensive at the moment D:
And as I always do each time: I am hesitating, wondering 'if' I leave it for later and then they are not available anymore? But then, those prices are just way too high, and this is without counting proxy's fees and shipping ;_______;

As it is right now, we can get all the other prizes all together for a lesser total price that the illustration/the straps on their own...

...Mmm my thoughts exactly. Wait longer and it risks items being limited = price elevated even more T -T! But things tend to circulate for a long time randomly like those smaller items, so they can be put on hold. (There's a ton of mirrors xP!) If you want maybe wait till the end of this week?
I'm thinking I wont buy the illustration if it's higher than 6,000JPY... there's only been a few auctions up for it. so wait abit longer for others. some even starting at 3,500

As for straps, they are all mainly sold separately x __x

I am still surprised about that star wand mirror being so cheap! I can see now auctions starting up at 1200jpy @_@ This is pretty far from my expectations.
Honestly, it is a very nice prize, a wand that's not too big and not too little, and a great alternative for people like me, who never purchased any of the 1/1 wands released along the years...

The illustration's and straps prices are getting a liiiiiiiittle bit better, but I am always careful not to get out from one trap and get myself into another: I have to let pass the very first items posted which prices are sky high and wait, but also not wait so long that the items would turn into 'collectors' and have even higher prices than they did at the beginning!
So I have to find that one moment in time in which the hype has passed and the sellers find themselves with items they want to sell before people looses interest in them...
Conclusion: stalking yahoo japan for days and days, for a while ;__;
