The shop will be re-stocked again. No worries.
I'm in Germany, I got a toy hammer. I just wanted one of each fruit but figured the new apple would sell out quick so I'm hoping to catch a new restock.
I'm sorry to say that I will not be applying to become a staff member this year. I deeply apologize to all those who have recommended me already both this year and in years past. I had no intention of disappointing my fans. But I am confident others will fill the position better than I can.
Also, it's sad to see Thunderstruck retire. I feel like he was just another member only yesterday. Y'all are makin' me feel old.

So, um, I have a question about the staff application and I assume posting here would be the best bet. But, how do we know if the application has sent? I just hit send on my one, but I just went back to the application form again with everything filled in. And I don't want to hit send again in case I already sent it. ^_^ So yeah, how do we know if it's sent?
Pretty sure you'll get a PM
Never say never. JB said so.
Like those red candies you're stocking up on?
You've gotta admit, the rarity of them makes them a lot more interesting to collect. I can't see people sticking around for long if collectibles were easy to obtain after all.Just saying!

Not everyone really cares about collectibles THAT much. But I guess it's a big hook a good for a good few. They give the economy an interesting dynamic.

I agree. I've lost interest in getting the new items when I got on the site (about an hour after the restock), read the news, and saw that everything was out of stock again.
To be honest, I don't think that's fair to people who can only get on at certain times and thus, will probably always miss out on getting the item. At least with the rare feathers during the TBT Fair, people still had a fair chance of getting them no matter when they were able to log on (if they could get on around the horders, at least).
With the apples, I get it; limited edition item at a low price, rare item, etc. But there aren't a lot of users who can afford the hammers, so I really don't understand why something like that would have such a small stock each time. And though there aren't too many people with that amount of bells, there are some with over 5k (and some with over 10k) who could, like Jarrad said, horde them.
The second I read that it was limited edition and there would be a restock (after getting on the site after both the first batch and the restock had already happened), I sighed. I initially thought it'd be cool to get a hammer since I never spend my BTB on anything and thus have a bunch saved up, but this method of small stocks for an expensive item made me lose interest.
I will admit that I was extremely disappointed at the time, but after I post this, I'm not going to give it a second thought. If I happen to get online during a time when they're in stock, I might still try to nab one, but I'm not going to fall into the trap of annoyance over how the TBT economy (aka, lucky people who happen to get online during restock time and hording) works.
If we didn't do that we wouldn't really have an economy for collectibles. No, the real reason why we don't put out 1000 at a time is because the new collectibles are supposed to be rare until the next one comes out. If someone buys like 20 of them, no one has to buy from them. You can teach them a lesson buy not buying from them and have a friend who's on at the right time help you get the collectible instead.

I may have wanted the apple for months, but I also want to have a lot of TBT by selling this apple. I have a hard time choosing whether I should auction this some time or keep it. If I catch an apple during the next restock, I'll definitely auction one of my apples.
Your name is apple so you should keep the apple.

And I will then. But I'll also be willingly to own 5 or 10 apples to match my username. Maybe if I buy another, then sell it, I would have enough to buy 4 or 9 more apples from the shop while having enough for another add-on or art of my mayor.
