I'll keep my fingers crossed that there might be an autographed item (that isn't RIDICULOUSLY priced) for Sunday or Monday that I can hopefully get. Is Monday the last day of it? I'm not sure as they never said. But I assume so as its 'Cyber Monday' after all. I wonder if they will blow us away with an autographed item on Monday. But I doubt it.  |

Sales like these and the release of exclusive lithos have been really anxiety inducing the past year?? lol I don't think it has ever been this competitive to get exclusive merch until this era. Either a bunch more people started buying that sort of stuff, or scalpers have gotten worse. I often see the signed lithos from the 1989 era going for the thousands on eBay, but at the time, they never sold out in the first 24 hours or anything. I don't remember ever having any trouble getting them.

But I'm still so confused about the 'White Pullover Reputation Sweatshirt' and the 'Peach Crop Hoodie'. They weren't stated as being limited edition at all. But they sold out so quickly, which is unusual. It's either that they for some unknown reason got little stock, scalpers got in on it for some reason, and people really liked them, or all of those things at once. Maybe people are more motivated to buy things that Taylor has worn for pictures that they put in the merch emails and stuff, but she didn't wear the 'White Pullover Reputation Sweatshirt'. I think people just got excited to see an item with all six eras so far in one item as they've never had that before... |

Especially the lithos since they're "limited" I almost go into a panic because I think I'm going to miss them and would never be able to get one. |

A lot of people liked that they did that....but they should have made more....do they NOT realize how many fans she has...I know they know...xD |

I think they do do that sometimes but Taylor's online store really needs to have a limit on any item that you can buy. There should be a limit that you can get 5 at the most of one item no matter what it is. Scalpers buy hundreds of things at once if its rare or limited edition. |

From what I gathered on Tumblr, I know a lot of people just really liked the look of the sweatshirt and hoodie you mentioned but as you said, why were they so limited in stock? If they're a popular item that sells out within an hour surely they would see the sense in stocking more?? After all it would mean more $$$ for them! |

That's what I said before about how it makes no sense why they wouldn't make more stock of items they know sold well. Maybe they're scared and cautious after the numbered 'Reputation Stadium Tour' lithographs aren't sold out yet. They should have them on sale. I'm surprised they haven't had a day for it in this week of sales yet. Maybe they will for tomorrow or Monday...But I have them all already. |

It sort of went full circle. The first edition 'Delicate' litho sold out almost immediately and that only had 500 copies (the site was being very weird on the day too, I remember, one minute they were sold out and the next they were back. I purchased one but was wasn't confident I'd actually got one until they contacted us later explaining how it had all gone wrong, lol). So then they made the second edition with, what, 2,500 copies? From then on all the lithos were 2,500 but that was too many so later on they reduced it to 1,000 from memory. What a wild ride, lol.

The sweet spot might be 1,500 lithographs being that 500 or 1,000 ones seem to sell out and 2,000+ ones don't. Or it depends on what pictures people like I guess. People want to buy ones that are out of less numbers too as they seem more exclusive.

They reduced the 'Delicate' lithograph? I'm still confused by those lithographs...I got the first edition out of 500 but not the second edition. I'd like one but they're too expensive on 'eBay'.

Of course the unreleased Taymoji puffy stickers are probably out of stock as the banner isn't there anymore and it's not automatically in my cart with a few things in it. :/ I wanted one but I guess they're all gone now. I guess I'll have to try to find one online sometime...
