Why is it so expensive? It looks poorly made...

[&ponpo& No.]

>>5485630
Because it's Touhou so they know people will pay. And it's pretty big I guess.

Also not sure if it's just me but this can only be pre-ordered on the Japanese site.

Weird. I have a vocaloid plushie that I bought for something reasonable at the 'Kon here (I think thirty bucks or so) and it looks like the same people made it.

Have you been to Goodwill? There's insanely cheap crap there. I saw a computer that was $10. I bought it, cleaned up the parts inside, sold them individually, and sold everything for about $200. Goodwill is a gold mine for people who are poor, know what too look for, and have time on their hands.

On a side note, I saw a bag of tortilla chips at Raley's (giant bag, I'd say around 30 or 35 oz.) selling for $5.99 and saw the exact same size (generic brand) at Dollar Tree for $1.

I have a question for you Dollar Tree fanatics.

How come whenever I go buy ramen at any supermarket, Nissan ramen always costs around 2-5 cents more than Maruchan ramen (Nissan is usually 3 for a dollar, and Maruchan 4 for a dollar), yet they don't even sell Maruchan ramen at Dollar Tree and sell Nissan ramen 6 for a dollar?

I don't understand this logic.

Fun Fact: A 12-ounce can of Coke only costs a little over 11 cents to make + the cost of the aluminum can itself. French fries cost around 5 cents per ounce. So you know that Large Fries + Large drink you spent $3.98 on? It only cost them around 75 cents to make it. Fast food joints are a complete rip-off.

You would think me saying this is common sense, but go in any fast food joint during a rush hour and tell them that.

50 customers per hour + open 20 hours a day = $3.980 earned, $750 spent, $3,230 profit x 2,500 stores = $8,075,000 profit in one day minimum.

Before 2008, fast food workers were the lowest of the low.

Now with the economy the way it is, working at a fast food joint gets you respect. When I was inbetween jobs, I tried submitting an application to a KFC that was having open interviews. I went in (10 minutes early), and at the time of the interview, there were THIRTY EIGHT PEOPLE all going for the same ONE POSITION.

Either I live in a place with a horrible job:worker ratio, or the US is dying.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5488240

Yeah, they used to be able to buy 3 ounces for a cent, but brand name companies are being greedy and have upped the prices. French fries might be lower than that though, if a fast food joint is getting the cheapest brand possible, but I don't ever remember a mainstream fast food restaurant selling generic drinks.

[Anonymous No.]

I'm afraid it's the latter. I'm kinda worried about the future tbh. Of course you have to consider how many of those 38 people had any kind of degree or training, probably not one.

The problem with those first and last guys you mentioned was that they never had any real valuable skills to begin with. They probably got some bullshit degree in "marketing" or "business", bullshitted their way into a jog with a vague description while the economy was good, and didn't do anything with it. A lot of the people struggling most are the ones with no hard skills like real estate agents and shit.
