Taking this into consideration for the kind of stuff we can put up on black friday. Maybe instead of the hustler getting all of the old collection items put in the queue (what we usually do) we can just toss all of them into a temporary "old collection" vending machine with no weighting. Not really sure what I'd price that at, though.

I don't think we've ever said that collections are only ever going to be sold in the month that we put them out. They're named, but we've rereleased items from them in various ways (luminaire present, hustler) since the start of them.

I don't think we release the items themselves because it's a lot easier for us to just put all of the items into the hustler queue to get a little more roadway out of it than just the box and have it all be done at once. Either way, you don't need to go digging through my history because I'll say it now - this isn't something we have a problem with and we don't mind releasing old collection / donation present items in other methods on the site, especially in the case of the black friday sale.

And actually, before last year we used to put ALL of the collection items from that year (the boxes - not the items themselves) back in the CS when we did more mass unretirings instead of a bunch of new items, like we do now.

Yeah, we're moving a few more things in that direction in the upcoming months, too. The Gifts of Fashion Past and Luminieve Gift (which will probably just do exactly what we're talking about in this thread) will move to being vends instead of items.
