Anime conventions are literally "get scammed" marketplaces that prey on autistic lonely people.https://www.instagram.com/reel/DceujaGxSnF/
>>85428994>get scammedBuying from a vendor is essentially paying a premium to be able to actually see the item in person + S&H costs. Don't like it? Suck a pingas
most of my items were from artist alley thank God lmao
>>85428994well, yes. have a convention / theme park/ martketplace where everyone attending is obsessed with certain things. merchants set up booths there and price gouge the people there, knowing they will pay an obscene amount for those certain things. thats all conventions and theme parks in a nutshell. its just taking advantage of dumbshits
As an American you always have to be wary of prices because if you have low impulse you will get scammed left and right
>>85429008Nigga there were $20-30 keychains sold for $2 on aliexpress $5 at most with shippingPeople who splurged at the exhibitor hall got fucking scammed lmao and it didn't help they mixed the aliexpress resellers in with actual artist stands
>>85428994>>>85428994 (OP)The point of these is paying for the convenience of buying it RIGHT THERE and RIGHT NOW without having to worry about shipping. The vendor has to deal with warehousing, stock not moving, etc. Nothing in the world is free.
it is entirely their own fault they go to conventions to buy slopthey want the slop so bad they are willing to get scammedgenuine handmade items are pretty much priced exactly as they are worth
