Hagi Special Offer #4(+) and general info

by Chip » Aug 19th, '09, 22:24

TC Hagi aficionados have spoken, and your wish is my command. :lol:

It seems that some Hagi Special Offers could be hitting TC very soon. Please keep a look out. These offers are really unique and some may never (or rarely) be seen outside of TC. :shock:

I believe they may be the most interesting and exciting pieces yet.

Beyond this, I am not tipping my hand til ... well, I simply recommend keeping your eyes and ears open since each of the first 3 have been instant sell outs.

General info

by Chip » Aug 19th, '09, 22:25

I have been asked how do I choose pieces for these Special Offers. They must be unique and/or different at the time of the organizing a Special Offer. Sometimes a Special Offer has a longggg turn around. The one Special Offer has been in the works for 3+ months.

Prices are set at below market value at the time, also adding to the "special" aspect

Some are created from a figment of my imagination, pieces I have never seen before. To say this is an anxious moment is an understatement, but also very exciting. This is part of keeping the SOs unique and of even more interest since they may never be seen again.

So far, I have resisted offering more commonly seen pieces, but might throw some in the mix as well.

In order to make this even more "TeaChat," if you have an idea for a Hagi Special Offer, PLEASE PM me. PM me. Did I say, PM me? OK, PM me. Got it? :wink: We want to keep an element of surprise to the SO's. When the time comes, if your idea is used, the idea will be attributed to you.

Also, not all ideas are doable, so please keep that in mind as there are no guarantees. Many factors come into play. Not to mention affordability of a SO.

I'm going to have a sleepless night trying to figure out what it could be.

If it's a "blue flow" or sea cucumber glazed yunomi, then put me down for one right now! :D

Consider me "enticed," Chip.

You know how in each "section" you see who made the latest post? Well, whenever I see Chip show up in that slot for the Teaware & Accessories section, I get excited...and than I get a little sad/disappointed.
