Black Friday 2014 Announcements + Gift of Fashions Past Chance Machine
Like last year, our annual Black Friday sale in the Cash Shop will start early! You'll have from November 24th through December 1st to load up on sale goodies!
Because of the extension of the sale, we are not going to be doing price matches for 10 days prior as we have previously. We wanted to make sure to give you the heads up so you don't mistakenly buy something before the sale expecting to be refunded the difference.Â
We're currently discussing the logistics of Custom Wearable inclusion due to their recent changes. We'll let you know about that soon!
This year will be the last year that pet slots, pet name changes, username changes, and pet overlays will be included in the Black Friday sale. If you've got some more room in your family or want to change up some names, you might want to consider doing them for such a great deal while you can!
In the mean time, enjoy our newly reworked Gift of Fashions Past. For a mere 50CSC, you can now take a whirl at the Gift of Fashions Past Chance Machine. You get one item per turn. Existing boxes will continue to work as they have, but will not be sold directly from the Cash Shop anymore.
Note: The Chance Machines and December 2014 Collection will not be included in the Black Friday sale.

@DoomQueen the same way we've been doing up to now, they just aren't going to include name changes in the sales anymore :)
Also yess, this means I won't have to miss Black Friday while I'm travelling :)

Wait, how will we change our pets' names from now on? Haven't been keeping up with the news.

decided to try the gofp machine twice just to test it, i got ZombieCrossing Nekromantic Skirt and Black Sheer Ball Gloves so for me it isn't worth it atm. Not even sure what set the Black Sheer Ball Gloves belongs to?
Not impressed with the GOFP machine, I had planned on buying a bunch this black friday and now there's not going to be a discount on them. Sure change the format that doesn't really matter to me but you could still include them in the discount. Chance bags/machines are easier to stomach when you know you're spending half of what you normally would, so if you get something you don't want it's easier to deal with.

That's why they need to work on the logistics for it. What I think they might do is lock down price changing before the sale goes on (so people don't jack up their prices to make more profit and have the item sell at the same price during sale time). OR they might just have a sale only for pawn shop and not CW shops. I mean maybe they can figure something else out, but unless they lock down price changing for that period of time (and beforehand) then I can't imagine they would be able to do it.
How can CWs be included in the BF sale now with Users controlling prices? Unless something's being submitted and the submission price goes down, but that would only be for the first 10 items sold.
I recall back around peka-boo they had a CW/pawn shop sale where everything was 25% off but the owner still made the same amount of profit as before (so it really was more of a loss for the site than for the users).
Awh man. I save my CSC pretty much all year for the half of Gift of Fashion Pasts. Ah well, more catching up on other things this year, then!
...though I just spent 500 csc (22mil currently) and got about 120mil worth of items SO I GUESS IT'S FORGIVEN
Kinda sucks that the GOFP items won't be in the sale with the chance machines not being 50% :c I was looking forward to buying a ton of them in hopes of getting some of the rarer SBQ I need.
I am pretty excited for this :D I may actually have to buy csc again, even though I told myself I wouldn't because I really should be saving money for RL Christmas for my three kiddos...
To be selfish or not to be selfish...
Really that is the question.

Will old battle challenge opponent items make a come back for the sale? So many opponents I'm missing!
This is my first Black Friday sale on this site and I am really excited! There are so many items I would like to have and this sale makes this goal so much more affordable. I would love to see the CWs somehow included, it would be nice if you figure something out! :-)
Thank you so much for this big offer!!!!

This is the first year I actually went and saved up sP to buy CSC before the sale. ♥️ Excited~ I don't quite trust my luck, but for 50 csc I might give the GoFP a whirl. ponders
Hadn't planned on buying pet slots because I have better things to spend $ on and I get a free one every year through the loyalty box. But... I only need 1 more pet for the achievement....
yah, I still have one Gift of Fashions Past in my gallery, which I can keep just because it's pretty :)
And I was juuuuuust about to buy an Angelic Potion, too. But I'll wait until the sale, which means sigh more waiting for me on everything I want right now. XD
Thanks for the heads up about the pet information!
Also for thinking about how the cws are going to work

If I remember right, last year I think they brought back every single thing they ever sold in the CS, or darn near close to itDryad 11/13/14 9:26 pm
How big is the sale for Black Friday, usually? I can't remember, and I'm wondering how much I should save for that Angelic Potion.
Black Friday is one of the days where the majourity of the stores made a lot of profit, hence the coined term.
@stella It's called Black Friday because instead of stores being in the red which means they have a lot of profit loss. Black means they're making a profit.
@Stella_Lumia You're welcome ^_^ Yeah, the closest equivalent is Boxing Day for others! I know, isn't it awful? There's often reports of violence during Black Friday in my area >_< Scary day!
It's sad that the GoFP won't be available in the CS anymore. They make nice gifts to give others ~ ^.^ ~
Blah... I'm on disability & don't get my checks until the 3rd of the month. Everything sounds really cool though, & I was wondering what I was supposed to do with that 50csc I had. So I used the machine. Thanks! xo
Thanks for letting us know ahead of time. Wish the GA medals would be included as they have been in previous years.
Idk personally I think $20 a slot is pretty cheap when you consider a CW is $6 for a single item (sometimes more) (sometimes a lot more than $20). But the perspective of cheap really depends on the person asked.
I think $5.00 for a hair thing is stupid but some people spend 10 times that for a limited CW wig, and likewise people think $20 is outrageous but I paid $60 a pop for 4 of mine so haha, perspective and all that.
Also to go back a few years, the BF sale wasn't even a thing, so the fact that literally everything in there has been 50% off for the past few years is a huge privileged that I imagine has cost the site a lot of monthly income since people not only wait until November to buy from the site but they get everything at a discount, too. I'd much rather see the site bring back older stuff at fullcost (collections, challenger books) and focus on discounting the useable items (redeemable hair coupons, books, potions, unlockable challengers, etc) than they should things that people WILL purchase at full cost (pet slots, name changes, GAs, username changes, so on).

@Sopheroo
Just because they're cheaper now than they used to be, doesn't make them cheap. Just cheaper than they were.
By that logic, a 15 thousand dollar car is cheap because it WAS 30 thousand dollars. It's not cheap, 20 dollars is a lot of money for a lot of people.
No shit it's a luxury though I don't think anyone was contesting that. And I wasn't even saying the price is unfair for the luxury, simply that it is not in fact, cheap.

@Digitalis Thanks for that....kinda embarrassed, but if I didn't ask I would never know. The closet equivalent I can think of here is the Boxing day sales and yeah I stay home on that day. I worked retail on that day once shudders at memory and I can affirm that people go crazy when the smell a huge discount.
Not saying the Subeta sale should be called Black Thanksgiving, just making small chitchat lol
Off topic but - It should be call Black Thanksgiving since last year all of the stores did their 'Black Friday' on Thanksgiving Eve. - Works in retail
Will the Hustler still have his 50% off sale as well? If I remember correctly, before he was set to restock a lot more, and at 50% of the usual price.
@Stella_Lumia It started in Philadelphia, describing the disruptive and heavy pedestrian/vehicle traffic the days after Thanksgiving, since it's typically the time that people begin all the holiday shopping. Hence why some people refuse to leave their houses lol! A newer explanation is that retailers function at a financial loss from January to November (their profits are in the red, which is bad for them) and Black Friday is when they'll turn a much larger profit due to the holiday shopping.
Yeah Arendelle. 2000 CSC is cheap.
Know why.
Because some of us paid the official price of SIX THOUSAND CSC for them a few year ago.
Pet slots are a luxury.

Really? 2000 csc is "cheap" for a virtual pet slot??
Do you even live in the real world, or work for a living? @ anyone who's saying that 20 dollars for a pet slot is cheap.

Can't wait! Definitely going to take advantage of the Overlays and getting new pets for the family! :D
