fan_services | Comiket - drive by post (Reply)

Sorry for the late update! Yes, I will be attending Winter Comiket this time, days 1 and 2. I may try to make a proper post soon (you can look at the o:comiket tag for how I typically run the event), but basic details:

Attending: Day 1 (December 29th) and Day 2 (December 30th). I have plans on the 31st, and cannot attend.
Fees: Y900 OR 30% title cost per circle, plus an additional Y500 for wall circles.
Deposit: USD $10 per item. If you don't have an exact title list yet, a rough estimate will do.
Deposit due by: December 25th, earlier if at all possible. I need to get it transferred to my bank and withdrawn before banks close for the New Years holiday.

Please note:
1. Currently, commercial/corporate booths (marked with a three digit space number, ex. 345) will not be visited, unless the circle list for one day is limited to one area. Lines for that section are incredibly long, and I don't want to visit the corporate area at the expense of circle orders. If circumstances /do/ allow it, it will be at a much higher set commission fee (around ¥2500 or 40% per booth, with ¥1000 portion non-refundable in the case I line up for your booth but am still unable to acquire your requests).
2. The western fandom section will be visited first on~~...whatever day that is, I still need to check.~~ Day 2. (Running soooo behind on everything, apologies.)
3.

jessamygriffin and I will likely be splitting shopping lists by area so we can fulfill as many orders as possible. Though number 2 still applies there (generally, she focuses on BBC Sherlock, while I hit Avengers/PacRim/pretty much everything else.)
4. Alterations to lists will be accepted up through December 27th, though hopefully we'll have the bulk of the requests settled by the deposit deadline.

If you have any questions or requests, please email me at fanservices.sales at gmail.com. Also, please use a subject header including "C85", so I don't miss adding your requests to the list!

Edit: I've had a few inquiries about the commercial/corporate booths. I'm not exaggerating about the line situation -- it's generally between 20 minutes and 3 hours for each line, depending on popularity, they only stock a certain amount per day so queueing from the early morning is necessary, and there may be a limit on how many copies can be purchased at one time (multiple mentions of kyo-ani so far, may require queuing again). (It's also packed to the brim which sometimes gets a little gross, to be entirely honest.)

I'm only considering handling this section if a) it doesn't mean neglecting the rest of that day's orders, and b) it's worth my time, meaning /much/ higher rates since I won't be able to take many orders. I may also require a small non-refundable deposit for that section -- things sell out, unfortunately, and I don't want to waste several hours for nothing, you know? I could also visit in the afternoon, after handling other requests, but again, things sell out quick.

I will make a final decision closer to the deadline, say, 12/23-ish? Thank you for your patience.
