Lottery Stocking Announcement

The unfortunate overselling incident with Avery has been resolved, and should not happen again. However, for this stocking, and perhaps for future stockings, I will be offering the carriers as a lottery. The carriers will be available for viewing in advance on my Hyena Cart and you may enter your name to have a chance at purchasing the item. At 8 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, April 2, a lottery winner will be randomly chosen from the entrants. You may place your name on all of the carriers if you wish, however, in the unlikely chance you win more than one, you will only be able to purchase one, and the other entrants will have a random chance at the other.
