We tried that lol. People got very mad, very quick.

We thought it was a good idea...at the time

and then

Oh well what can we do :sigh:

Deal with it lol all the members have for years.

Not a good idea to try something like that again. I understand the frustration, but talking in codes will just cause confusion. Of course everyone can PM each other that's it's up, just don't announce that you will PM someone in the thread, lol.
And there is always the Premium MAC Chat where people can post without guests viewing. So there is an option like that, which unfortunately doesn't get used.

I never looked into it before last year but I saw a bit of the Ebay craziness for the last RiRi launch. I know I mentioned it before but how can you have 30 lipsticks from a collection that was supposed to be restricting items to customers and be selling them for $60.? And pre-sales for MxPS for Ocean City at $45. up? I like Ebay but that's not cool.

Who knows where they get all that product from.

Hmmm, going to check out Premium MAC chat now...

Teases!

not really.. people here put a lot of effort in obtaining swatches, information, advice etc.. and then have to give it away to lurkers or people who just join for getting that information.

that's really unethical.

Yup just like when they said they were going to restock the Marilyn collection bunch of liars.

 

[Liya2007]

I tried everything to upload a comparison pic of Soft Sand and Golden, but seems like my phone is broken. Uploading it directly doesn't work and Bluetooth doesn't work either, so I can't upload from my laptop.
Anyway, Golden looks more redtoned in comparison, whereas SS looks more yellow and ''muddy'' in the pan. That's all I can come up with at 2 am and half asleep, lol.

I know for ticket shows (scalpers are teaming up) so a bunch of ''partners'' are buying in bulked and give it to the 'leader' . it is a big business.

i dont think ill ever order a mac collection from ebay..it seems so shady

 

[awickedshape]

Oh, but I like Ebay! Just not for MAC, it seems.
I did want to look at one set of RiRi items last year. I was so out of it that I didn't even realize that she had more that one launch. I went on MAC in the morning, couldn't even get to look at anything and didn't bother. By lunchtime out of curiosity I checked it and practically everything was sold out! Somehow that made me feel like I had to get something, how crazy of me lol
A couple days later thru Googling I saw the Riri Woo lipstick was still on Nordstrom and nearly looked over my shoulder like, um, isn't anyone seeing this is still here? That's how I signed up with Nordstrom lol to get a rose-gold Riri Woo

Yep, that was around the time I decided to quit being a lurker and officially join. All the drama kept me from being an active member until things cooled down a bit. I suggest anyone who is curious why it's not a good idea read this thread if you haven't already.

Anyone ever order with a gift card and paypal? or paypal and another form of payment?

 

[Tarabotti]

Good luck, everyone! I hope that you get what you want (and the right products in the right boxes!). I won't be stalking because I need to swatch (will be running to the store next week!).

I hope I don't jinx it but has MAC decided never ever again to do another hideous waiting room?
