ipb Report post Posted April 3, 2007 When we originally decided to allow decant circles, the rationale was to give people the opportunity to try scents that aren't available as imps before purchasing bottles from the Lab. This thinking does not work for Lunacy oils and other short-term LEs for obvious reasons. Therefore, starting with the next update we will no longer allow decant circles for items coming down in less than six weeks. Individuals who wish to sell or swap decants for any LE (including those that are ineligible for decant circles) are still welcome to do so through the Swaps or For Sale forums after they have received their bottles, within the existing price caps. No pre-purchasing of slots (as permitted with decant circles) are allowed in such instances. We do realize that this decision will come as a disappointment to some, but there are obviously other venues for this type of activity. With our community so closely associated with and supported by the Lab, we have long felt obligated to operate our Swap area in a manner that is most appropriate for such a relationship, rather than attempting to create the optimal secondary market environment. And it is with that sentiment in mind that this decision was made. Additionally, two other items worth mentioning regarding decant circles. Circles that have slots filled before they have been approved will NOT be approved. Even non-BPAL circles must be arranged in the decant forum NOT elsewhere on the forum. We have found a few errant circles that were arranged outside the decant forum and were most unhappy to see them, because they not only break the "no swapping outside the swaps forum" rule, but many of them also broke our decant section rules (for things like the number of circles run at a time or number of bottles in the circle). We thank you all for your understanding on these matters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
