fan_services | Comiket 82 Pick-up Service (Reply)

Once again, I'll be offering proxy services for Summer Comiket! :D

For those unfamiliar with Japanese doujinshi events, this is a massive three day fanworks convention with tens of thousands of participating artists -- and many more attendees. The doujin circles have already started to hear back whether or not they managed to get drawn in the lottery for a space at this event, so keep an eye out -- your favorite group might be attending!

Placing an Order:
❀ Send me an email to fanservices.sales❀gmail.com, with "C82" in the subject line and the following information:

If you know the prices of your items, that helps me a lot in keeping track at the event. But I know a lot of circles don't list those, so that's okay too.

Commission and Fees:

General commission is Y800 per regular circle, or 30% the cost of items from each circle, whichever is greater.
Due to likelihood of massive lines, wall circles will also incur a Y500 fee. At C81, wall circles were A, シ, あ, れ sections. Wall circle fees will not be applied to the last priority section, unless there's still a significant line at that point in the event.
Special goods (non-flat, fragile, or larger than B5 size) will incur an additional fee, usually Y200 per item.
The grand total will also include cost of items, shipping and handling (your choice of method) and PayPal fees.

Payment:
Payment is through PayPal, preferably in USD (Y1000=$14.10, to account for my bank's fees =.=).

Deposit of $10.00 per item (or the cost of the requested items in some cases) is due prior to the event, by the listed deadline of August 4th (EST). The amount of the deposit paid will be subtracted from the final total to calculate the amount due. (I will discuss the expected deposit amount with you when the order is placed.)

EVENT NOTES:

Often times, circles don't post their event information until a few days before the event. I plan on ordering the Comiket catalog, but since I'll be out of the country by the time it's shipped, there will be a delay while a friend of mine forwards it to my family's address. Once I get that, barring any internet and computer access issues, I can help out with some searches.

The initial order deadline is August 1st. If you still haven't been able to get enough info from your circles to make a proper order request, at the very least notify me of your situation, including a rough estimate of the number of circles, books, or purchase budget so we can work out a deposit amount before the deposit deadline of August 4th. Changes to your order -- due to recent circle updates, etc. -- will be accepted up to a few days before the event. After that, though, the lists will be printed and the information I've gotten from you thusfar is final.

Cosplay and Priority Circles: I will not be cosplaying at this event. It's too hot in summer...

1. Attend [first building, first hall set]
2. Attend [first building, second hall set]
3. Break
4. Attend [second building, remaining halls]
5. Double-back and see if latecomers showed up at all.

There will be a bidding process for which circle I visit first each day, as I've had multiple requests in the past. I'll explain this in a later post.

Physically, halls are split up into East and West buildings, with two sets of open-plan halls in each building. I will probably go to either East or West hall first, then attend the remaining halls. (For example: East 4-5-6 is first priority, East 1-2-3 is second priority, then West 1-2.) When I get more information about who is attending where, I will post up the attendance order here.
