[instiz/theqoo] Knetz are mad because aespa and RIIZE season greetings cost 91 USD

lol! are they putting gold inside valid question!

SM never cease to amaze me! Very ridiculous pricing!

they hiked up the price on their 2 most hyped groups right now

this is very unfair to the other groups.

are they not worth more ??

Fans are willing to pay so why not?

I mean they bought huge tons of single albums with like 1 song so obviously they will eat it up and SM will get their profits anyways

you will never let this go, will you

Fans just need to vote with their wallet, and SM will get the message.

It's a good thing?

Fans think that it is worth their money to pay for such goods and services and they should get what they willingly fork out.

They think it deserves a high price which is why they bought it because if not they wont

The company should capitalise on it to earn money so that we can feed aespa's pockets as the fans should

Quote from bartkun

but those single albums often have versions which you can buy for less than 10USD, and packed ones with photoalbum and more photocards are for 20USD

and here is just photobook with some keychains etc. this shouldn't ever cost more than 30 bucks

Fans are willing to pay so companies will do what they do best

If 1000 fans are willing to spend $100 that is $100,000. If they cut to $30 and say 3000 fans buy it, it's $90,000.

Why shouldn't they increase the price if it can earn them more + lower total production cost

Fans already voted with their wallets with other expensive scams so obviously SM will be ballsy enough to push the fans to their limits to suck them dry

Also I just saw SM cancelled one of RIIZE'S concerts probably due to not enough tickets sold if you are telling me otherwise then you are probably as delulu as the fans buy this merch

So obviously SM will need to milk more profits from merch from their cancelled concerts

At the end of the day it's all about money

it's giving zoella advent calendar

there's a reason aespa and riize are double the price of the others. it's bc they know there is demand. people will absolutely still buy the thing.

Exactly. Why make it cheaper when fans will buy it?

Whenever i see prices of new iphones or apple products in general, i say: it's not expensive enough, double it. Favs will buy it anyway, go nuts with the pricing

1. Paying a concert price...?

if only this was a concert price in the US (for decent seats, at least)...

There's a very simple solution to BS like this, don't buy it.

that H2H sneak

it's just basic supply and demand

if people are willing to pay for it that just means the demand is there even for the higher price...
