What time is it? Post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the prices for Sanrio merchandise. Sanrio is one of the most popular Japanese companies. This is mostly thanks to characters like Hello Kitty and Gudetama. However, the merchandise available from official sources usually costs quite a bit. It's often rather expensive, even for simple things like clothes or socks. For a lot of fans, this discourages them from buying things from the official website. Nobody wants to pay eleven dollars for one pair of socks. It's ridiculous. Even their hoodies can cost up to one hundred dollars. That's a lot of money for one hoodie. Doing things like that only chases fans away, and encourages them to buy from unofficial sources. Since it's easy to find Sanrio merchandise being sold secondhand, many fans who can't afford the prices on the website are just going to buy from cheaper places. I honestly don't think that's a bad idea with prices like this. Sanrio will eventually notice if a lot of fans stop buying things from the official website, and it may encourage them to price things more fairly. But, I don't think that's very likely. Big companies hardly ever care about the people who can't afford their merchandise. So, if you're a Sanrio fan who can't afford these always increasing prices, there's nothing wrong with just buying things from other trustworthy places that sells cheaper merchandise. Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
