$155 hoodies,
$155 phone case (which is kinda ugly and doesn't protect much)
$70 light stick
she treating her fans like ATMs.

I'll always say this about any idol, group, etc, if you don't have the money then don't buy, if you aren't a fan then don't complain. Like, you are literally an akgae so...
Prices will just go higher in any area so yeah, expected, expensive, ex ex ex
Edit: she is treating her fans with so much love, respect and we can see it with how much she prepared for her solo era! Let's go!
The speedi jacket look so cool
Arenโt these normal prices?(except phone case)

Agreed. I alas do not have that much money to spare right now
Sure, I'll laugh at 60% empty stadiums pics
From BP's tour? That would be a shame.
Yes, you are 100% a sucker if you buy such overpriced merchandise. Whether or not you like the artist enough to do so or whether or not you can afford it is completely irrelevant. It's about fair value. Just because there are people willing to overpay for something, that does not mean they aren't overpaying. There are people who like to gamble. That doesn't make it a smart use of their money.

Naur, BP still didn't tour in 80k stadiums for 20k people

well you're free to think that but I just don't agree. If you are living paycheck to paycheck and buying this merch to serve your queen LaLisa, then yes you are a sucker. If you are someone like me, who could buy this entire line of merch without a problem, then I just see that as someone spending the money they have how they want, not a sucker. Same with gambling.

I don't think how much money you have to spend is the deciding factor here, nor should it be, considering these are not even premium luxury items. They're overpriced casual wear & knicknacks. If a person who makes $200K a year is buying an item for $100, and a person who makes only $50K a year is buying essentially the same item for $10, do you not think this casts a negative light on the former's spending habits? Even rich people who can afford literally anything they want will tell you they don't make a habit of carelessly wasting money. The ones who do, don't stay rich for long.
If becomes available in Brazil sure!! and also let me ask you a question:
Fans who will buy this will pay with your money?
Well at least you're consistent, even if it means you're contributing to increasingly inflated prices becoming the norm.
My money? Nothing leaves my wallet for the sake of Kpop trinkets. I already give these shady companies too much support as is through my mere attention.

Look all I'm saying is that someone who has the money and buys this merch is not a sucker in my eyes, they know what they are buying and how much it costs. It's like Apple products to me, they are marginally better than their far cheaper counterparts, but people who can afford them buy them and there's nothing wrong with that.
supply and demand - supply and demand
if people are willing to pay for something then someone else will be willing to supply that thing
just basic economics
Boy, that clothes look boring as fuck
100thieves collab?
Isn't that an esports company? Interesting
It's wild, like they are attacking other people for saying this is scam.
No one can force you to not buy these things, but at least let us tell that if you buy a 155$ phone case you are stupid. And that isn't related to being poor or rich.
Then if Lisa wants to take advantage of her fans due to their emotional connection with her for me it's fantastic, but let's call this for it's name, a scam.
And she isn't the only one doing it, Hybe merch is something that doesn't make sense, another scam, XG too, but it's the first time I see something like the 155$ phone case.

Do you know what's taking advantage of fans?? It's asking for charts positions almost always, asking for awards, saying how you would love if your fans gave you x or y records for years and never being satisfied with the results, always wanting more, who does this?? Who is treating fans as if they are there just to give them fame?
Lisa isn't stealing her fans, you buy if you want, she isn't scamming anyone, bfr.
Haters need to get off their PC and get their IRL akorns up
Volume =/= Profit.
This is how luxury goods work. You have to gatekeep, so there is a difference between the haves and the have nots. It differentiates the casual fans from the hardcore fans.
Less volume but higher prices == more profit margin.
All the luxury brands that went down the road of making 'cheaper' versions of itself eventually lost prestige and lost market share.
Would you rather sell 10 items to make the same profit as selling 2-3 items? There is a finite number of people that'll buy Lisa merch. Decreasing price won't make people buy more.
I will only buy the light stick.
