I feel so incredibly sad

I cleared off the Nyoka Falls sim today.  I will accept the final offer on the sim tomorrow and start proceedings Saturday to sell it.  I have had ties to that sim since 2007.  I would love to keep it, but I can't compete with land barons, and without Dylan in world creating, I don't even know why I am keeping our stores at all.

For anyone that should read this and might want to get a last offer in on a grandfathered, 30k sim, please send a notecard in world to Katanya Mistral.  Current high bid is L$240,000 plus the transfer fee paid by the buyer.

Should anyone want to grab the last of my random gachas, hundreds of items of the personal stash I have been saving from years (commons, rares, ultras, epics), you can find the box at the new location http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Villevotte/227/180/2506

The clear out continues and goodbyes ahead

 So, ahead of the LL gacha ban, I am still clearing out all of my gacha saves from the past few years.  Sets I have saved for myself, but haven't moved from a storage folder, are all going into the random gacha vendor at the yardsale.  I am still keeping it set at $L10 a try.  My hope is that some folks will find enjoyment wearing or displaying the items I have spent so much time and L$ collecting, even though I know the one person that keeps clearing out my stock is likely just reselling it for their own gain.

I think this is a portion of the start of me finally pulling away from SL.  I have a grandfathered 30k sim I am going to be selling, which partially breaks my heart.  If we could find good tenants I would love to keep it, but I think it was too late for that a long time ago.  Right now it is trying to figure out what a fair price is and hoping I can find someone before tier is due again on 5Sep.

I already bought and created a small parcel for us on mainland for an in world location for our stores, but I think it may need to go to.  I'm honestly not sure anyone cares if our products persist or not.  It's one of those times where I wish we heard something from our customers.  The only time we hear anything is when people don't pay attention, don't read all of the material I have taken so much time to put out there, or are simply struggling with skills or items that are really out of our control.  I'm not completely bitter, but as I am sure many other merchants have experienced, you just wish you could hear more nice comments than anger/confusion/frustration.

If anyone actually read this far, thanks for allowing my exhausted self to rant.  I hope everyone that is still in SL and nice enough to read my little blog is happy and healthy.

Policy Update for my gacha yardsale

So I have thought about this for a long time, and have decided to change a long standing policy for my gacha yardsale.  I will no longer be banning people that buy from me and then resell those items.  I thank those of you that provided feedback on this to me and helped me think this through for the final decision.

Please just pay attention to the text above the vendors so you are sure of what you are purchasing, as I do not augment the original gacha image to circle each product.  Sometimes you may purchase an item and be immediately refunded; this is because the vendor system hadn't realized it was out of stock.  I apologize for this, but most vendor systems aren't designed for selling no copy items.

I will not respond to anyone that contacts me wanting to negotiate on prices, whether that be a reduction on a rare or wanting a discounted price for a full set.  I sell all commons at or below the original pull price, and I don't think my markup on rares is unreasonable.

All sales are final.

~ASH~ and ::AME:: Existing Mesh Clothing Price Reduction!

So I was finally brave enough to ask Dylan if I could reduce prices on some stuff, so here is your first major change!  All existing, standard sized mesh clothing from ::A Master's Eye:: and ~A Slave's Heart~ have had their prices reduced in world and on the Marketplace, some by over 33%!  This is a permanent price change and not a temporary sale.

Please note that prices are 10% higher on Marketplace to cover Marketplace fees, as I announced a while ago.  All prices are below L$200, even on Marketplace!

I do have a bunch of stuff to add to the gacha yardasle, even though I didn't announce dropping a few cool items in the random gacha chest a few days ago.  I may even have some more ~ASH~ and ::AME: news for you soon, a couple of changes I am really excited about!

Silly av fun

So I had a bit of fun last night and this morning making a couple of quick images for some promotions.  I was hoping for something that would catch people's eye.  It doesn't seem to have worked yet, but a girl can hope ;-p

Nyoka Falls-L$1.5 per prim, 1.5 prim bonus for sim.  You get more prims at a better price.

35% off still going on for ::A Master's Eye:: and ~A Slave's Heart~, excluding ::AME:: gachas and discount vendors, but including the gacha yardsale.  Just wear the ::A Master's Eye:: group tag.

New items at the gacha yardsale & Nyoka Falls Residential Rentals

This update includes some Rares.

And after you're done browsing through all there is on offer at the gacha yardsale, step out past the boathouse to see the lovely new rental land that is available in Nyoka Falls.  It's a privately owned estate offering residential parcel rentals in a medieval/Nordic/Celtic/Gorean theme.  Each parcel comes with a security device.

Legacy Scripted Storage Furniture

Some of you may remember my store from years ago, ~Armar en Kat~  The main line of products from that store were scripted storage furniture and scripts, which went away when the store closed in 2011.  I have seen some cities and roleplay groups still using my scripts and items, so I have decided to put them back up for sale at highly discounted prices.

Included in this line of products are bookcases for notecard storage, wardrobes for the storage of SL Clothing Layers, and trunks for object storage.  Items are available in different access versions allowing access for all avatars, a set access list, a set group, or only the owner.  Each product has a multi-page menu and content counter.  Scripts are available for each of these products as well.

Also available is a trunk allowing you to store all item types, and configure all access levels in one item.  A notecard mailbox is also available with a configurable access list.

Demos of these products are available at the back of the main store.  The scripted objects are Modify/No Copy/Transfer, and the purchaseable scripts are No Modify/Copy/No Transfer.

Prices for the products are as follows:
    * Individual bookcase, wardrobe, trunk, or mailbox are L$25 (except the Stor-It, all functions inclusive version)
    * Sets with all 4 access versions of a bookcase, wardrobe or trunk are L$75
    * Individual scripts of each storage and access type are L$50 (except the all functions inclusive version which is not offered)
    * The all functions inclusive trunk, Stor-It, is L$100

Please note:  All storage furniture and scripts are sold as is with no planned updates at this time.  Each of the items is a basic textured SL prim, so it can be retextured/reshaped, or the script and can be removed and put in an item of your choosing.  These items have not yet been added to the SL Marketplace, and can only be found in world.

Gacha Yardsale Partnership and Why I haven't been blogging

I have invited a friend of mine to share some of her gacha wins along with mine, and I think you will love her mix of items!  Stop by and have a look at her offerings in the lounge room.  (Lady Sel's items will not be added to the page here on the blog, so you will just have to stop by to see what she has on offer.)

I have needed to dedicate more time to my college courses as they have increased in difficulty.  I have also been at a near constant state of having absolutely nothing for real life finances.  These are just two of the reasons I have not been in SL much over the past few months, and are also why I have not been attending events to gather goods to blog.
I am sorry to the few fans I had.  I did enjoy making new outfits to show you, but without funds in either world, as well as the above problems, I have had to put a halt to my fun.  I do hope you forgive me.

It's going to be great!

The event opens today at 3 p.m. PST.  Your taxi to the fun, freebies, and great content: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Evanda%20Island/126/50/4001

::A Master's Eye:: Dragon Scale Collars are 50% off for the duration of the event.  L$210 each.

~A Slave's Heart~ Talgryf Trunks are 25% off for the duration of the event.  L$263 for the PG version, $563 for the Adult version.

MY STUFF!!!

What I've been up to

We've been working our butts off after getting a late add to the upcoming We Love Roleplay anniversary round in May.  Here's a WIP shot:
