Consider this...

I was thinking more about Volks, and I don't know about other owners but despite owning 4 Volks dolls, Luna, Kurumi, Heath, and by sheer chance Tony (but the body is an old skin body), not ONE of them was actually purchased from Volks. So far Volks has hardly seen a dime from me. I bought a pair of metallic eyes, a pair of red glass eyes, and a few articles of clothing- not the real fancey sets either. And that is all I have ever purchased from them.

I tried to give them money but they didn't want it. I entered 3 time for Suigintou and lost. I was certainly willing to give them money but no, they just ignore me. And now I'm not going to get a Suigintou. I have plans to buy more Volks dolls but none of these plans actually involve giving Volks money. They are plans to buy from the secondary market and secondary market only. Gosh, I'd be happy to give Volks money but they have nothing I want. Not anymore anyway. And if they ever do make another doll I want I doubt I'll be buying it from them directly anyway. I sort of ignore the lotteries because it honestly doesn't seem like anyone has much chance of winning. Why should I even bother trying to buy from Volks? There's no real point to it as the odds are certainly against the buyer. I've had more luck on the secondary market where I've actually been able to buy their dolls.

P.S. Yori sold! Her price in no way makes up for what I spent on Tony *cough* BUT I'm getting two outfits for my girls! Luna and Kurumi :)
