You definitely should! I can give you myself as the best example... the Ivory Shamanic Locks were on my wishlist for a long time and then I luckily found someone who was willing to sell their copy. I was pretty sure they won't let go of them, but they did and tada... they're mine now. Nothing's impossible, even if the CW is private. Finger's crossed for you. :)
But yeah... I have several of her CWs on my WL. And daaaamn, they're so hard to come by. And if someone's selling, all those peeps interested in them are like crows fighting over a piece of dead meat, haha.

Will you do the epaulette + 100csc for it?
Unfortunately not, but thank you for offering. :)
I am /pretty/ sure the wig was a private of ? Can't remember if private or friends only.. hmm.
Ale does not release private CWs, nor are her friends-only items under any kind of restriction once they have been released.
I'm pretty sure she has but most of her releases are friend releases. Nonetheless, good luck on finding the wig. :)
Sorry if I sounded catty, I've just been through this several times already, but I went to check out Ale's comments on the matter and you are absolutely right; she does do private CWs. I was thinking of this comment of hers you see:
but then later, she said this:
but luckily, the black shard is not restricted:
So I can at least dream, though I realise there are only ... 7 potential traders out there, not counting Ale's copy, the artist's copy, and yours? :P
Oh no no! I don't think you were catty at all. :D And there might be more though you never know hehe.
Did she ever say anywhere how many batches she released? :o
The is also in the prize pool for 's current scavenger hunt event, though I don't know if anyone has chosen it besides me
Ooooh! See? Another possible copy that might end up in your hands. :o If I see anyone trading/selling the wig i'd definitely let you know. I usually see the white one or other colors for trade though.
Lol well mine's not for sale and probably won't ever be ;P But I would like to know where you're seeing other colors for trade because I can't find like any on my WL D:
Did you see this board? She's had quite a few shard strands for trade. :D I'll keep a lookout for the colors you want as well. I am always lurking. /sob
Thanks, but nothing off my WL (and I think maybe I did see that, I've been hanging out in R200 a lot lately trying to buy my WL and no one wants to sell D: )
Done hijacking the thread now sorry sorry >__>
Thank you for letting me know! I didn't mean to draw so much attention. ^^U
Thank you, but I'm not expecting much. The Orchid Tresses is my trump card, and I figured it would take at least that to make anyone let go of a black shard. Not to mention how everyone and their grandma wants one. I think it was a single batch ... that seems to have been the pattern for the friends only releases.
