Example Entry
Steins;Gate 8-bit PC Game
http://www.jlist.com/product/PCG7704

Reason: I liked the PC game so I want to give the 8-bit version a go.
Hoooo sounds awsome ! I'll join with :

Castle in the Sky Laputa (Blu-ray Disc)
http://www.jlist.com/product/VWBS1189
item
High School Briefcase Book Bag: Link

reason
who wouldn't want one!? it's cool(to me atleast). and besides, i just wanna look awesome standing around with hands in pockets and the briefcase between my arm and side. of course, i would actually use it for all my school folders and stuff, too.
I'd adore the Sports Type Japanese School Bag.
http://www.jlist.com/product/NET336
Men's yukata
http://www.jlist.com/product/POC004

I simply love japanese clothing. I've been thinking for ages that I'd want a yukata or kimono that I could wear around because I just love how they look and how chill they are. There are days when I'm just hanging in the house with nothing but my bathrobe on, but a yukata would be a lot nicer option

Oh and add pocky sticks to the list. I've tried to look for some around here but I can't find a goddamn single one
Whaaaaaaa! That's so hard too choose!
While I could buy 10 cheap items, I could also buy 1 expensive thing.
Wakaranai!

Ok.. so I've strolled the site for quite some time.
My choice
http://www.jlist.com/product/SEA039
Cat Girl Maid Outfit

Reason
A reason for this.. Ehehe.
I love to see my girlfriend wear all kinds of frilly cloths. And she also likes to wear frilly cloths ^^. And hey, cosplay. We went to a few anime conventions but never really in cosplay or anything, so this is a good opportunity to stock up on some cosplay cloths. The yukata's and Kimono's on the site are sadly for small people, so that's a no go. And hey, which guy doesn't want to see a cat girl ;).

On a side note. I've always wanted to get a japanese high school outfit. But look at the price on j-list for that! Insane!
I would probably use it to buy either a figure, or any other type of typical anime related item. As well as some snacks X3.

an example being http://www.jlist.com/product/PRE173

My reason being that I am so enthralled with anime and the culture around it, the various things such as figures as one example. To have a large collection in my eyes is to show my passion for anime, and related things. To be able to have this $100 gift card would be invaluable to me both personally and as an anime fan.
Three shirts (1 , 2, 3) and a phone case. Why? Because I need more anime paraphernalia.
Holy Angel Kamineko 1/7 Figure:
http://www.jlist.com/product/PRE824

Reason:
That figure looks adorable :3
I wanted to preorder her for some time now but 145$ is quite some money.
*Grey* Totoro Plush Doll -- Large
http://www.jlist.com/product/FY372

Reason: My girl loves Totoro, and I bet she'd go crazy if I showed up at her house with this in my hand. :)
Men's Kimono
http://www.jlist.com/product/POC003

Reason:
Never had japansese clothing before. Would love to have one and show it to those I know. Other reason is pretty much the same as Murzac.

I have also an alternative. It is Women's Kimono
http://www.jlist.com/product/POC001

Reason for this is almost same as above but I want to give this as a gift to someone I cherish.
After some searching I decided on two items.

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha The Movie 1st Visual Collection (Jyo)
http://www.jlist.com/product/APO037

Black 26cm Genuine Tabi (Ninja Shoes)
http://www.jlist.com/product/TABIBK26B

Reason being I love Nanoha, yet I never got that book, and I figured I need some shoes I 'd love to use all the time.
Choosing things is hard... where i could be tempted by these KitKat's. at the same time i could really do with moar models for no real reason...

I think i would have to go with this: Black Rock Shooter.
Reason:
I searched and couldn't see the gears of Destiny Nanoha game that's caught my eye for a while, Buuut, yes It's not one thing in particular it would be as much BRS manga as i could snag with the prize, The Manga of the game looks interesting, and looks to have a nice twist with the artwork.

FluFFy has the same idea as me though, Tempted by the male Kimono T^T
Ok, it was hard to choose:
Pocky
http://www.jlist.com/product/OKA358
Reason: Plz... do I really have to tell? ;3

Men's Cotton Japanese Carp Yukata ~ Size XL
http://www.jlist.com/product/POC004
Reason: I have always wanted to wear yukata =^.^=

Anime T-Shirt -- Otaku University
http://www.jlist.com/product/ANI-OTAKU1
Reason: Every A&M fan need one ;)

Sake Ame - Sake candy
http://www.jlist.com/product/SNK020
Reason: Because i can't find real sake there ;(

Sake Cup with KANJI
http://www.jlist.com/product/ASA235
Reason: Hehe, two for me and best friend ;]

DECO mini Tape
http://www.jlist.com/product/PNA052
Reason: It would look cool on my doors.

All those take 98,2$ so i make it xD
I would use the gift card to buy the Sweet Chocolatier: http://www.jlist.com/product/KBN345

I wanted to get it for Valentine's day to make chocolates for my boyfriend, but couldn't afford it at the time. Now there is an even better reason for it though. He's having a really hard time with his family right now and I'm not even able to be in the same state to comfort and console him. I would use the chocolate maker set to create a variety of delicious chocolate candies, and send them to him all the time, as a way of letting him know there is still happiness and sweetness in the world.
I would use the gift card to buy the "Otomo Katsuhiro Artworks Kaba 2" Artbook.

http://www.jlist.com/product/APO602

The reason is because I'm working on an Anime myself, and I'm hoping to make it good enough to eventually publish. Any referencing help and advice is always greatly appreciated as I want to constantly better myself into a successful career.

Studio Ghibli is actually my greatest inspiration for that, but I couldn't find any Studio Ghibli Art books... (I already have Nausicaa, Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away & Kiki's Delivery Service Artbooks, but they're expensive to keep buying, so I need to wait.)

Any art referencing is always helpful for me though, so I'd be truly grateful. :)
I would buy this Takoyaki maker!

http://www.jlist.com/product/NET222

Because I love food, and there's really never a bad time for takoyaki. I would probably spend the rest on other cooking gadgets because I'm a cooking geek :)
I'd get a classic and practical set~

Light blue shimapan, light blue striped kneesocks, and a pink rotar.

http://www.jlist.com/product/TMT009
http://www.jlist.com/product/SEA020
http://www.jlist.com/product/ADT146

Reason: practicality~! Even as a nudist, I do have to wear panties and socks when I go out. I'd wear shimapan and striped blue kneesocks! They can be used in combination with the last thing for... an obvious effect.

_________

And for the rest of the total monies... Millhiore figure!

http://www.jlist.com/product/PRE786

Reason: If they had Yukikaze I'd give my left pinky toe for it... but Millhi is adorable too~! I'd keep her right by my bed all the time and on my desk when I was working on Kisumifications for good luck~
If I won this, it would be a hard choice but I'd have to either get:
Howl's Moving Castle on Blu Ray (http://www.jlist.com/product/VWBS1288)
Or Princess Mononoke Deluxe set (http://www.jlist.com/product/VWDZ8010)

I absolutely love HMC, and Princess Mononoke is probably my favorite movie ever. Totoro was my first anime movie, so I formed an affinity for Studio Ghibli's work at a young age. I do own most of the movies on DVD, but I don't own HMC; so I'd probably get that.

Not a very practical item, but definitely something I want!
Good luck everyone <3
If I won this I would get the Hatsune Miku Project DIVA
I've wanted to get it for a while now, and I just think it would be great to play. And maybe I would start to use my PSP again.
First let me congratulate Konachan on it's 5th anniversary! Thanks to the people who help run it. Seriously, I visit it like every hour, lol.

If I were to win I'd really like to purchase an Aoi Yamada Nendoroid Figure (http://www.jlist.com/product/PRE966)
and a Tentacle Grape 6-Pack (http://www.jlist.com/product/US0004) to share amongst my friends who were unable to taste them when I entered the Hentai Cafe at Florida SuperCon because I was of age when they were not.
Congratulations !!!

Can not believe that I am already three years here.

http://www.jlist.com/product/PRE530 -Because Erio is Damn Cute! (20$ goes on me)

Best regards
Happy anniversary Hinamizawa!

Shuugo, did you think about that 5 year popular page?

Anyway, I want a new mouse so I'll put my bets here for this. My current mouse dates from 2005 when my father bought it for me when he was in Japan. It works pretty well but it looks kind of terrible right now. The cursor jumps sometimes and a new and proper mouse would be very welcome in my hands. Of course, money doesn't grow on trees so I can't afford a proper mouse. That's why I'm putting my bets here.
If the shipping costs would take more than 45$, then a pair of these would be nice. Haven't listened to music outside my house for a few months now. Last pair was pretty good.
Retia Adolf - Ultimate Idol- 1/8 Figure ~ Dai Teikoku
http://www.jlist.com/product/PRE569

Reason: This fig is so cute... can't afford her unfortunately :(
I would like this prize to buy "Dancer Marryan 1/8 Figure ~ To Heart 2 Dungeon Travelers"
http://www.jlist.com/product/PRE075

I never had any anime figurines before and when I saw this I felt in love with it and wanted to get it that same week. But I been cut from work for past 7 weeks (my employer has also failed to pay me $250 - $300 that he owes me for work, as I got cut just a week before pay went out) so I been very low on money. Enough to pay two credit card interest and $5 on top. Not to mention phone bill and few other bills. Because of this I had to reconsider getting this figurine wishing to buy it ones I get my job back and start earning something again, but the though of them being all gone is still in the back of my head which makes me tilt to either trying to somehow buy this or live off noodles for next few months, with bare minimum reserve of money.

Sadly this is my reason.
PUCCHO

http://www.jlist.com/search/all/puccho

reason- solely for the fact that free puccho makes me undoubtedly uber happy. i mean, puccho on ebay is pretty expensive, and going back 3 years in hong kong i went into every supermarket i could get into and buy mass amounts of the sweets since they were really cheap and yummy. my particular favourite were grape and watermelon <3 sadly, jlist don't have those flavours, however, they do have ones i've not yet tried ;3 and spending $100 (£63) worth of puccho will last me for an eternity!

a longish wall of text, may or may not be needed
First, Congratulations to Konachan for the fifth birthday. I finnaly also made an account after years of surfing here without one.

I would like to buy this if i would win:

Miku Hatsune 1/8 Figure Love is War ver. Character Vocal Series 01

http://www.jlist.com/product/PRE509

Reason:

I just love Hatsune Miku, and always wanted this Figure, but it's quite expensive for me, and the 100$ would be a great help for me.
Crazy to think Konachan has been up for five years! Grats on another year of giving everyone what they want and need >:3!

I would definitely buy a
Japanese T-Shirt - Tsundere Tribute
http://www.jlist.com/product/SHIRT-TSUN1
Reason-o_o- After watching anime for so long i love tsundere characters to this day and would probably wear this shirt nonstop ignoring everyones eyes xD With the rest of the money left over i would buy some of that there
tentacle grape 6 pack
http://www.jlist.com/product/US0004
to introduce the masses to tentacle "Grape"!
and go around looking for some eroge by alicesoft since they are by far the most amazing visual novel makers i've seen in quite some time!
Otokonoko Hajirai
http://www.jlist.com/product/HEM601
Reason: Traps, what else could I say? They are even better than real women most of the time.
Thank you for all this years of quality imagehosting ;D

I would buy this:

http://www.jlist.com/product/PRE280

REASON: Because He's half man, Half machine, ALL COP
