Looks like I got a star glow wand again. This time, I didn't even have to spend 8,000 TBT to get one.

Spoiler: Evidence

​

Oh wait, I didn't tell you the full story. Actually, it was a real one that was worth a dollar at a grocery store rather than the pixel one I sold for 8,000 TBT just to get more apples. So I didn't get a collectible this time, but I did find a real world version of a collectible (I may even post a picture of an illuminated one tonight). What an interesting find.

I also got another glow wand, which was never distributed during the last TBT Fair. It was a Pumpkin Glow Wand.

 

[Alienfish]

^nice one though. and yeah would be cool if they did more glow wand things for future events. or yeah just starry night bg items in general :3

 

[Alolan_Apples]

I kinda found this fair's theme to be weird. I do like the glow theme, but they say it's the summer nights theme. Yet, the lights theme would better fit the winter or the fall (since the nights are longer during these seasons). Last year, when I was doing these theme of the week photos for my AC Spinoffs site, the lights theme was correlating to the week Daylight Savings Time ended (which is in the fall).

If I had to choose between the spring evening or fall morning theme more, I would go with the morning one (cause it's fall).

EDIT: I did say that I wanted a moon wand, but even if I get one, it may not appear in my sidebar. Because I thought it would be better if my sidebar was all apples.

I'm starting to wonder. Are the spellectables (or whatever it's called) losing popularity now? The demand for them seems to be low right now. Or is it that members on TBT don't feel like spending their TBT? I know that I'm one of these members who refuses to spemd TBT at this phase I am in.

I'm actually asking because a lot of members were having no luck when trying to sell the spellectables. Even my auction got no bidders. This makes me worried because I plan on running a contest next month, and I purchased those pumpkin cupcakes for the sole reason of running a contest. I don't want to run a contest if it's not going to get participants.

I hope that the collectible hype isn't dead. If the spellectables aren't selling well because collectibles in general are losing popularity, then why aren't collectibles popular anymore?

Well I find they are selling ok. But you're starting bid is what is the max of most go for, so you can't expect it to sell if you're starting bid is what most people would pay max. I recently brought 6, and I've seen some going here and there. Especially with halloween, it should pick up with people looking for lineups/if they don't come back people might decide they want them.

So if I run a contest with the pumpkin cupcake being awarded to the winners, it would at least get participants, right?

I remember the last time I ran an unsuccessful auction, I was trying to sell balloons. It's not that they were too expensive (I tried 2,000 TBT), but the demand for them was excessively low. Sometimes, collectibles won't sell because of a demand issue. Other times (like when I tried to sell my star wand), it's the price issue.

Yeah it would.

Well, I find with auctions you start low. More often then not it actually reaches the price, but if you have a high price to start off then no one is going to wand to bid. Also with demand is another issue, but I would never hold an auction for a small collectible. It doesn't pay off.

 

[Alienfish]

Ha yeah it's kinda interesting to see some collectible that are limited like that being really low in demand unless it's some mildly manic collector or something, idek. Personally I really like the balloons here if if I don't think I would save up for them now. Same with the carnation, I mean sure I can see some selling now and then but it's not like people want them comparing to other things. Love them too, by the way.

 

[Sholee]

I think the carnations are really nice but I hate the background. I wished all the collectibles had the same or a neutral background, it'd be easier to mix & match and might make the less popular ones more popular.

Well it's the same with "regular" fair collectibles/popper/hammer with their cloud background and such so yeah unless you have those two together i agree about the backgrounds...

I agree as well. It's one of the reasons I didn't try harder for the Fair collectibles (though I'm not sure I could have, because of work and what not, but eh). As much as I love them and find them gorgeous, I just don't like how they look with the rest of my collectibles. The line-up I have now works for me, even though the backgrounds are different.

It'd be nice if the staff did something for Halloween, like in 2013. I absolutely loved it and was so proud of myself for solving the riddles. Even if one of them was literally me tilting my head while going "hmmm, I wonder what this could possibly be... huh... wait a minute..." and finding the answer that way, LOL.

 

[Alolan_Apples]

It's already October, but the Opal is not in stock yet.

EDIT: It's in stock now. Thanks Jubs!

 

[toadsworthy]

How about those mushrooms though? anyone thinking about how many they will end up releasing?

Yeah, the smamrocks were around that price. Seems fair though, since they're the seasonal collectibles (aka like once-a-year kind of collectibles). I love them a lot, though. *^*

And oh man, I hope there'll be new Halloween collectibles. I wish there'd be jack-o-lantern ones or adorable ghost ones.
