Well...can't sleep. Had too much coffee. Had taken an Ativan and am reading over the posts I missed in the flurry. There's a lot of disappointment and a lot of joy...

Calyx, I'm so happy you got that tip, and wharf rat the same. And finally peace, I think your right, you're dad sent you that donatello, for sure. Things sometimes really work out.

I didn't get my first, or second, choice, but that cute little orange flat mouth with the three polka dots was my third...and the green one was one of my likes. Always wanted on of the obsidian flatmouths, so I'm happy about that. The red and white one was not the one I thought it was, that was a goof, but maybe I can trade it.

De, I feel bad you came away empty handed. Not sure how that happened. If there's a way I can help you the next time, let me know....

Those are all my thoughts for now.

It happens.... It takes some people months to get the donut they want and others get lucky the first time out! Star got lucky the first time out and it took me a couple months lol

People drop in and complain after their first sale while others understand that they may not get their top choice during the first sale.... Especially if that top choice is a more highly sought after donut!

But I think I find it most amusing when veterans of trippy war begin to complain and get all bent out of shape when they don't get what they want lol.... sitting on dozens of unique and hard to get tips yet it's such a blow when they can't add number 39 lol

It's all about luck i think. sure it's not easy to get the highly sought after tips.. Just gonna keep trying and i'm sure everyone can score one they really like. :D

That's the spirit that everyone should exhibit! Just hang in there and I'm sure you will get the one of your dreams in due time :D

And I didn't mean that someone shouldn't be a little disappointed if they don't get what they want! They could even go as far as poking jokes and saying "you stole my tip" with a little begrudging "congratz" lol.... But some people take it too far and rain on others enjoyment, even making the people that won them feel bad that they got the tip they wanted! Which shouldn't be the case at all.... It should be a joyous moment! Just saying lol

I agree Odi. It sucks when people try to make others feel bad....I guess we're all just human

because usually after sales people put up tips for trade, also though more people have been asking for tips or donuts in the classies so people might buy them to use for trade just a hunch not certain of course

I took your advice and poste a Phiniac in the classies that I've been wanted to trade for a nice trippy. If I dont get the one I wanted, maybe I'll get one just as good ;)

Thanks starlight!

Well I was there at the beginning but keep getting locked out but I did end up with these two so all was not lost.
Well done to everyone who got their first choice. Disco Sparkle vs Candy Corn with Dot.jpgGranite flatmough.jpg

Looks like most everyone had a blast last night. A little thing called Beryl kinda got in my way. Tropical storms can be hard on the electricity from time to time. Congrats to all who got their choice tips and better luck to those who didn't. Almost caught up on reading the thread.
