Not new to diamond painting, but I've had a long hiatus from doing one. I'm sorry if this is dumb, I haven't purchased a DAC painting from their website before.

I've subscribed to maybe...12-13 of these paintings now to get an email when they come back in stock, my longest one I've been waiting for a year, most recent a month. I haven't gotten a single email (regularly checking my spam)! It feels like they have way more paintings out of stock than in stock. I'm reading about how they DO archive them when they have no intent for them to ever come back, but the one I subscribed to a year ago is still listed and findable.

Because these are so large and time consuming, I want to pick one that I really want to do. For some reason I can find people way overcharging for them on Mercari (2, 3x the cost), which I don't understand. I didn't think there was such an enormous market of people looking for these that there would be scalpers?? Do they do super duper limited runs of each?

I'm so tired of all of the greek style pizza. It isn't always bad, but I'd love to support a good Italian/NY style (thin crust) pizza place. My favorites are all in/near Boston or Providence and I'm tired of deferring to Papa Ginos whenever I want a thin crust pizza (don't come for me PG haters). I'd rather help out a small business and also not drive into the city.

Ideally I'm looking for somewhere in southern central MA, more towards RI than NH. There are SO MANY pizza places that it's been impossible to sift through them all. Husband and I have started ordering from a different place every time we want pizza to try and find our holy grail. We have about forty on our compiled and ranked list so far (this list was started pre COVID, lol), and every single nearby one has had that similar greek style pizza that all starts to taste kind of the same. It's decent at best, or mealy at worst. We've lived here our whole life and honestly I've been mostly resigned to this style of pizza, but I'm tired.

Where is all of the thin crust pizza at? Why is it only abundant in the cities and why does greek pizza have a hold everywhere else in the state?
