Now that she left Hololive, I'm so glad that Saba can finally leverage her personal brand to charge what she's ACTUALLY worth
>>110017679>Premium embroideryBased. We Western fans deserve better than what the Nips can provide for us
>>110017679>$240 for a happi>a happi, which is meant to be worn on special occasions like a live performanceogey
>>110017679Amazing grift
>>110017679This feels so strangeHappi are supposed to be affordable,Because you want as many fans to able to buy them as possible, so that they can all wear it to your live performances, showing their numbersWhy would you make it a premium thing?
>>110017679Well, it's time for her American fans to show they have more purchasing power than the Japs
>>110017679>240 bucks for a happiIn THIS economy?
>>110017679why did you run from the other thread, tell me roa isn't asking the same price aka it's not set by them
>>110017679Literally, quality > quantityhappy for her
>>110017679>$240Jeez
>>110017857What if I told you I would shit on Roa too except nobody on /vt/ cares about RoaBecause she is a japanese indie
>>110017679She's allowed to do that, sure, but man, I feel sorry for her less-than-wealthy fansSuddenly, that happi becomes a thing to flaunt about
>>110017679>happi:(>happi made in Japan:(>happi made in Japan with PREMIUM EMBROIDERY:)
>>110017679Oh she's gonna milk them dryI dread what a Saba figure will cost
>>110017857>aka it's not set by themSo what you're saying is... they're being controlled by a company and have no say in it whatsoever?
>>110018008you think indies are supposed to fucking sow together a happi and sell it by the kiosk?
>>110017806She's simply filtering her fansNo poor allowed
>>110017679>>110017806I think it's fairly high as well but there's economy of scale to think about too. Companies like Holo can sell things more cheaply because they expect to sell more and so can afford to negotiate better prices from manufacturers. Indies (even indies like Saba) don't really have that luxury.
>>110018033Yes indies are supposed to be independent. They should do everything by themselves
>>110017806>assuming there will be live performances
>>110018033Why are you acting like it's either>NO HAPPIor>$240 happi
>>110018049>Indies (even indies like Saba) don't really have that luxury.Anon...It's Saba...She sold out her debut merchs in minutes
>>110018051as a indie vtuber, I design my own gpus, but I can't manufacture them myself due to environmental regulations.
>>110018071THIS >>110018051is the fight you're having.ain't talking about no damn price
>>110018033Right, because this is the only company that can help her make a happi, and it has to be $240No other choiceNo other pricepointShe's totally helpless in this matter
>>110018102Exactly
>>110018117>>110018115
>>110018115Bitch pleae, that was obviously a falseflagBig indies work with companies all the time. Saba is not a 2view
>>110017679>alibaba factory goods that cost maybe $5 (generous) to make being sold for $60
>>110017679Kek, she grifts so goodPay up, pigs
>>110018115This entire thread is about the price, dumbassAnd that retard tride to shift the pricing blame to a company, kek. Not falling for it
>>110018049>ompanies like Holo can sell things more cheaply because they expect to sell morWhen Saba left Cover, she still had more subs than Marine has right now
>>110017679She can't stream because of work and she's got bills to payPlease understand
>>110018049>4x the price of Martne's happi>fairly high
>>110018049Saba totally has that luxury
>>110018230>the type of shiny "fabric" from aliexpress you can smell the rest of ur life>high quality authentic nippon desu happi with embroidery
>>110018245>why aren't non-alibabaslop goods more expensive???
>>110017679>$240>13% offSO LUCKYGOTTA GET THE DEAL WHILE IT'S STILLHOT
>>110018245Nah man, she's just a poor indie who is working with a merch company for the first time ever and has zero negotiation power because she's just a poor indie with zero leverage
>>110017679>Back then in Hololive>THE COMPANY ONLY USES HER IMAGE TO SELL MERCHS. SHE DIDN"T EVEN HAVE TO STREAM>nowKekAnd I'm not even defending Cover. Selling Gura merchs back then was a greedy corpo move.Just funny how it's still the same shit, and it's just Saba who is doing the grifting on her own
>>110017679WHat would you even do with a Saba happi, it's not like you can wear it to concerts or events.
I can believe that her happi is much higher qualityBut still, there's paying 300 bucks on Sennheiser headphones, and then there's paying thousands of dollars on gold-filled digital audio cablesAt some point, it's just dumb
>>110018340The funny thing is,Let's assume that there will be a lot more Saba concerts and events in the future.That just means less time for normal game streams... which was one of the main problems people had with Cover back then
>>110017679Saba's Happi is a collector's item, meant to be kept/displayed in your collection. There will not be any Saba concerts for these to be used at.
>>110017679Jesas
>>110017679Hah
>>110018385Nah, there will be at least a few, if only because other vtubers like Mint and Doki will invite her.Which will make it worse because ovbiously not everyone can afford this
>>110017679adding a bit of embroidery here and there shouldn't quadruple/quintuple the production cost
I watch a few indies who were so broke that their fancords organized fund-raising campaigns so that>there would be a happi>everyone can have one>everyone can wear one at Offkai and shitIn contrast, this is the most corpo thing ever
>>110017679240 dollars for art pasted on a piece of clothingEven Marine's 80 dollars feels over-priced, and her happi would still be used more because number of events she will attend will be larger than number of streams Saba will do this yearThis is just shameless even for weeb standards
Marine can use the excuse that Cover has to take a cut because they own her image.What's Saba's? Does the merch company she works with take that big of a percentage?
>they can't afford 240 bucksI forgot this board was full of poors.
If you whine about Marine's happi, I think it's fair to shit on you for being poor.Not with Saba, jesus. These days that's almost half of a new Macbook
>>110017806Rich fans onlyNo poor allowedSimple as
>>110018669Saba stream when?
>>110018669You do realzie just because you can afford a thing doesn't mean it's always a smart purchase, right?Also, receipt doko?
>>110018603Marine's happi is 60 dollars, a common price for mid to high end happi.Saba's happi, however, is overpriced as fuck. That is in the range of a traditionally/antique made one and we know hers is not that.
So much falseflagging on this thread.
>>110017679>$60 for something you'll use>vs>$240 for something you'll never useLOLLMAO
>>110017679At best I would pay 100 dollars for a top end happi. That is enough to have embroidery and some quality stuff.240 bucks is a scam and it can't be used because the streamer in question doesn't stream.
>>110017806>Why would you make it a premium thing?
>>110018049we used to say that as a indie she would be able to sell things cheaper because no longer having to pay the holo commission, now we are supposed to say the opposite? not saying that im against it , i just want to get my narrative right.
>>110019001>we
>>110017679What's the point of buying a happi for someone who isn't even an idol and doesn't do concerts? Where are you even supposed to wear it?
>>110017679Time to buy 3 of them.
>>110018191The majority of Gura's subs were dead pandemic subs, as proven by the fact that saba STILL isn't back to her previous numbers despite her explosive growth in her first week
I've never seen a happi priced over $100. Most of mine were between $50-70. Is this for real or is this... "Tokyo Otaku mode" some shitty jew site that buys merch that's Japanese in-person only to scalp to westerners? Not trying to defend the beeper I'm just in shock.
>has the whole board clutching their pearls over merch they were never going to buy in the first placeThis place smells like wet mudhuts
>>110017679Supposedly going indie means Cover don't get a slice of the pie from the merch so the cost of the items should be lower.That was the cope fags were saying. Instead you get overpriced things at 4 time the price (discount included even lmao)
>>110019182Tje standard happi IS 70 bucks, only the embroided one is 240
>>110019182https://funs-mall.com/products/MA065S045
>>110018340Happis are for festivals regardless of you fags hijacking it
>>110019240>you are only allowed to laugh at products you buy yourselfwat
>>110019366>Cool, let's just take this vtuber thing entirely outside of the vtuber context, why not?Don't pretend to be retarded
Overcharing on happi is actually insane. Those should be as accessible as possible because you want every single fan of yours ot have it
>>110019394Where do you think you are?
>>110019240Anons laughing at how dumb Saba and her fans are is not them "clutching their pearls"
>>110019330>>110019357So this is just misinformation. Got it. Thank you anons.
>>110019420can't wait for her to release $100 acrylic stand, kek
>>110017679>popular streamers grifting their dedicated fans for moneyA tale old as time
>>110017806Because she's an indie now and can do whatever she wantsWho's gonna stop her?
>>110019001we're supposed to believe everything Saba says, yesShe's working extremely hard right now in Japan. No time for streams.
>>110017679>13% offBUY BUY BUY
>>110018669post your recept then
>>110018049smaller indies and low run fan made ones for hololive are usually around ~$80. $240 is fucking robbery.
>>110021609Saba's normal happi is $70 though. $240 is for embroidered one
>>110021934Kinda funny how the entire thread is ignoring this fact too. Really not beating the illiterate schizo monkeys allegations
>>110019463
>>110017679Kanikeks are the biggest fucking retards in the entire vtuber fandom and deserve to get mocked relentlessly for still handing this lazy woman money
>>110022707No Gura no buy turned out to be true though.Grim.
>>110022766Yeah sure
>>110022864>mcdonalds kiosk vs mcdonalds kiosk on wheelssugoi
>>110018330>pebblekek melty
There was a normal Happi but it sold out immediately so the site only lists the Premium Embroidery one. You can all stop your shitposting now.Jk I know you tards will never stop
>>110017679holotroons we're being hard mogged rn
Did the other threads hit bump limit? Also, this >>110023269
>>110019394It's not a vtuber thing holy shit tourist
You know what? This was a great event.Because at this point it is the only place where you can watch Saba stream.
>>110023568>replaying old karaokes>not even any new recordings for the eventholy laziness
>>110023655Well, she's still learning.
>>110017679What is it made of?>Specification subject to changeDon't tell me that they place this price tag without telling specification?
>>110023655>>110023660>Got proven wrong about the Happi>Moves on to "Grrrrr she didn't make any recordings for it so she's lazy"
its soldout or not yet?
>>110023269>>110024000>LEAVE THE MULTIMILLIONAIRE SHAMELESSLY EXPLOITING HER FANS ALONEPlease keep relentlessly white knighting this shameless money grubbing grifter. Your turbosimping is fucking hilarious. I can't believe anyone would be this pathetic.
>>110018049>>110023269Anon you're not allowed to make sense. The catalog antis have been reaching for years for drama on not-Gura. Logic doesn't matter to them or their seething clients.
>>110017679jezas
>>110024974>>110023269
>>110017806>Saba>Live performancePick one and only one
>>110017806Let's stop pretending that Saba cares about her fans as anything other than walking ATMs
>>110019182The original price is 33000 yenTOM adds a premium to it, but not by much
>>110019376Sabakeks are clutching at straws, please understand
>>110019471She's already getting there
>>110017679If people are paying that price, why does it matter?
>>110026273We're not allowed to laugh at tards who still hand her money?
>>110022766Gura wasn't on any of those streams, what are we comparing?
>>110025953She's worse than Nintendo at this point
>>110017679
This is all the Saba interaction her fans are going to get from her this month, so she made sure it's something they'll remember.
>>110018049It's a piece of digital printed cloth, lmao. Even Marine's is overpriced.
>>110018033I've bought 4 fan happis (2 for each oshi) for the same price as the DISCOUNTED Saba happi. If fans can make something affordable so lots of people can buy it, then there's literally no excuse for Saba and Roa other than "pay for it you fucking pigs".
>>110033302To be fair, Saba's $70 normal happi already sold out. Fan/indie happis are usually around $50, so it was still a bit more expensive, but there was a cheaper option.
>>110021934>>110022006Doesn't matter still highway robbery, since for that price I expect an Antique/traditionally made Happi, slapping on some Embroidery on the 70$ version should not make the price jump to over 240$ without the 13% price offFucking braindead Sabacucks
>>110024000>Coping by saying the 70$ version getting Embroidery on it makes it worth over 240$ without the 13% discount>Defends Saba being lazyKEK
>>110017679Stop being poor
>>110017679Cheap products are really, really risky. It's a lot more work to produce and sell the amount of them needed to turn a profit compared to overpriced premium shit.
>>110039388>Keep giving money to a multimillionaire who treats her fans like walking ATMs
Audi supercars aren't cheap.
>>110026917This but unirronically

>>110017679Why would you buy an extremely overpriced happi of a vtuber that will neither stream nor perform for you? You gonna wear it in your bedroom? Pretend she's holding a concert for you? Faggot loser
