I'm selling all my Type-Moon stuff. Why? I'm leaving the Type-Moon community for good (for real this time). I have enjoyed it immensely but it is time for me to move on.

Hmm. Forgot I can't edit as a guest. Anyway, I've updated shipping options to include USPS Media Mail, Parcel Post, Priority in the United States and USPS Global Priority, Airmail and Economy in the rest of the world. Also, I combine shipping for multiple items (just because people have asked).

Ryuusoul.
If you are in trouble and need of cash or something let me know.... I haven't forgotten about your donation for this website and all the translation work you've done for MirrorMoon. But most importantly the time we spent together on this board.
Sorry I can't help but to worry... why would you do this? >.<

Oh, haha. It's not a money thing at all. The selling on ebay is just the capitalist in me. Your concern is deeply appreciated, however.
As far as leaving the Type-Moon community, there are just some aspects of Type-Moon that are just outright incompatible with who I am (to put it diplomatically). I simply had to draw a line in the sand for myself.
In addition, there are things I want to do (and things I must do) that demand a great deal of my time (more relevant to why I stopped working with Revolve and Mirror-Moon). It really was knowing such a great community of people existed who loved Type-Moon so much (without even being able to read Japanese) that made me stick around until the translation stage of Tsukihime was completed.

I will have to say that this whole thing just speaks weird to me. Unless it's something that's 100% life altering or harmful like Military life or Alcoholism, I can't image someone making such a rash "Cut cold turkey" action about something.
Especially since this is just a leisurely enjoyment of fiction. How much of your self-identity can possibly be hurt from enjoying it? Even if you find yourself spending too much time on a hobby and it is hurting you progress in other things (something I can relate to all TOO well), the most someone does is cut back. Esspecially since it seems obvious that you are a big fan (from all the fan projects you have participated in), it seems like you are just going into extremes to deny yourself of that part of you. You can't blame Evospace's concern and suspicion that something more critical seems afoot.
Of course, I say this all outside the range of people who can truely critize you, as I obviously don't know you personally or what you are going through in your life right now. I just know that taking such extreme actions over such a trivial matter makes me worry and wonder what is going on.
As I said, unlike many people on this board, I can not claim I ever formally met you, let alone know you personally in any way. But I have noticed your screen name as credits in many places and projects which I've throughly enjoyed. Also from this, I have little doubt you are good person, as you are so eager to help out and share when you can. For this you have my sincere graditude, and I hope for you the best, whatever it is you plan on doing.
Funny how this has become of a goodbye thread, rather than a selling thread as it was intended. On that note, I had my eye on a few things, but those first bid blew out my chance to do a buy it now before I could think about it. I guess I'll have to bid along with the rest of you and see how this goes. As dishearten to see you go, I still have my eyes out for bargains, aren't I awlful? ^_^;

Yeah well, I'm at least glad to know that Ryuusoul's not leaving because of financial crisis or anything. It was confusing and hard to believe (even offensive? XD) at first seeing all the rare goods being sold away, but lets send Ryuusoul off with all due respect.

So long Ryuusoul. Sad to see you go but you've certainly left an outstanding contribution to the community in your wake. We will always remember your and others hard work when we are happily playing our translated Tsukihme. Best of luck to you in whatever the future holds.

Farewell, oh great Ryuusoul. I haven't been around nearly as much as the regulars have, but I always respected everything you've done for us TYPE-MOON fans since back in my lurking days, especially all the hard work you've done in gracing us with translations as the Duke of Doujin. Heck, you've even inspired a few people into doing translations themselves or at least get them interested in seriously considering it (myself included). You'll never be forgotten.

Wow, that's a lot of stuff. Sorry to see you going Ryuusoul. You added a lot to the community with all your translation efforts and were generally just a plus to have around. You'll be missed, hope things go well for you. Stop by sometime to say hi.
