JIB6 :: Photo Op update

[growyourwings]

So it looks like I got at least one of my two photo op requests.  After 14-ish hours of processing the email requests, Daniela announced this morning that all emails have gone out to those who did *not* get *any* of their requests.  Now I guess I wait to here details.  I will need to pay via a bank wire transfer. Which means I will actually need to

it does take a while until everything is done because they manually check and recheck and write to you. but that's just a side-effect of the super high demand. it used to ve faster. but since one just sends one request which takes just a few minutes, the time one has to invest oneself is not that much. just the time in between each step is longer, which I guess can be annoying to some if you are new to it. I personally don't mind it so much. it just means the money stays on my account a little longer.
obviously payment options like credit card or paypal would be more convenient for most (and again something people are more used to). but the downside to those would be higher prices because of the fees they would've to consider (which usually are percentage based not fixed per transfer which adds up pretty fast).
the need for planning is again a side effect if the high demand that requires very good timing for buying things. on the other hand you are also able to plan because unlike many others they actually let you know in advance when things will go on sale. by the time I get the newsletter mentioning any new things available for creation/rogue events those have usually been on sale already for hours/days.
I admit though that the ever increasing panic people produce is annoying. I mean even hotel rooms are selling out in less than a month? last time I booked ours totally relaxed in December.
