« on: Wed, 30 August 2023, 09:02:22 »

Hello everyone, we are CHAOSERA
After months, Cupid65 is about to go on group buy!


For us, the research and development of a product is like a long journey, with exciting and happy moments along the way, and of course, there are also some difficult days. All these come together to shape us today.

Fortunately, there has always been a group of friends supporting us all the way. This is our biggest motivation and greatest encouragement.
So, without further ado, here is Cupid65 for everyone!

Approved :thumb:

PSA to prospective buyers:
Group Buys are inherently risky endeavors. There is an element of risk involved with collecting payment before the item has been produced and resulting uncertainty during manufacturing / subsequent operations. We urge all GB organizers to consider (and document) these risks, and want to make it clear to all who consider purchasing that these risks are present.

If you are unfamiliar with the Group Buy model, please read this primer - Group Buy FAQ / Buying Guidelines

This PSA is new and will become standard on all Group Buys moving forward. It is not posted on this GB in isolation and is not singling this organizer out in particular as someone to be wary of.
