What if I told you there's a way to see exactly how much merch they sell?
I've posted about this before, but nobody really cared.
Here's Towa's anniversary goods sale data since I have it on hand:
BOOTH:
Full Set (JPY11,000): 2,401
Tapestry (JPY3,000): 1,325
Bibi cushion (JPY4,000): 1,239
Key holder (JPY2,000): 607
Geekjack:
Full Set (JPY11,000): 620
Tapestry (JPY3,000): 222
Bibi cushion (JPY4,000): 376
Key holder (JPY2,000): 130
Total sales amount:
JPY45,806,000 or
USD418,230
I don't know the cut taken for production costs or by Cover, but it gives you an idea of how much merch even the "lower" holos sell.
inb4 "nice numbers you just pulled out of your ass", figure out the BOOTH and Geekjack APIs yourself and pull their stock count, it's not difficult to do. I don't want them to patch it since I'm collecting data.
Also the Geekjack numbers are only for the amount sold on the old site, I haven't found a way to pull the numbers from the new site.
