Bah. I was gonna start saving to get a Luna plush from someone for a friend, but (like everyone else!) the person who made it is charging out the nose for commissions.

@redenchilada Capitalism!

@redenchilada me when i wanted a certain yu-gi-oh card

@toksyuryel Look, I'm sorry. I don't care how good your plush is, unless you're using accessories made of solid gold, I'm not paying $350 for one. D:<
-
@redenchilada But someone is, so they're gonna charge that much for it.
-
@redenchilada that is a wise choice
-
@toksyuryel It's ridiculous. That mentality keeps anyone who isn't bathing in money from being able to get one. :c
-
@redenchilada I was thinking this yesterday when I was doing my weekly trawl for types of Trixie I don't own. Ebay auctions that START at $300 for fairly standard plushies everywhere.

@ceruleanspark I saw one that looked really nice and was even poseable (and was Trixie!) and started at $26. It was, of course, ten times that by the next day, but at least that was someone letting the demand dictate price instead of setting a high initial price mark.
-
@redenchilada The flaw in your reasoning is that you assume you're entitled to get one. It is a luxury item.
-
@toksyuryel No, I know I'm not entitled. I'm simply complaining about the absurd rate of price hiking on them. The reason I'm willing to go $50-100 or somewhere in that area is because there have been people who have sold plushes for that much. Heck, someone at Brony Fan Fair was selling excellent ones for something like $150 or so. With that level of quality, I'll gladly pay that much.
-
@ceruleanspark People don't understand they'd make more of a name for themselves if they made affordable, quality plushies, compared to expensive, average ones...
-
@cavatina Well in their defense, Hasbro doesn't realise that they could kneecap the plushie grey-market by releasing the ones they make more widely, and by producing better looking ones.
