fun personal fact: my mom was a semi-big neopets merch trader on ebay during the recession era, so if you bought a resold neopets plush from kansas in like 2008, there's a good chance it was hers
if you have vintage earrings made from the little blind bags neopets used to do, they're 95% likely to be hers because she actually started that trend (and continues to brag about it to this day)
#neopets#neotag#alexandria rambles#my post#she didn't scalp them either like i've seen some american resellers for like monster high do#so if you're from overseas and got one of the target neopets plush at a decent price you can probs thank a disabled kansas mom for that

What’s scalpers? Is it a new idw character? I haven’t read the most recent one
god i wish i was you
#anonymous#a scalper is someone who resells something (in this case: comic books) for a large profit#example: one issue of sonic IDW is 3.99 USD at retail price#but let's say the issue you want sells out at your comic book shop before you can get one#ok no problem. you'll just go online and get it right?#well ''secondhand'' the same comic will be 300.00 USD. from a scalper.

This happened a few days ago now, but I'm still thinking about it so gonna complain about it on main <3
Went to this local flea market. Lots of clothes and stuff being sold in stands. I don't usually expect to buy something, especially since a lot of stuff is by re-sellers and the prices can go up, but I like to look at the stuff regardless. I came up to this stand with a bunch of really cool printed T-shirts of bands/licensed properties. I remember seeing them some months ago, and I thought to myself, "oh if they have a Beavis and Butt-Head T-Shirt that would be cool. I'd probably buy it." They had one from last time, but even though I liked the design I couldn't convince myself to get it on account of a mysterious stain on it. No clue if that will come off (of-course it was on a beavis and butt-head t-shirt).
Anyway, I find another shirt that looks good! It is kind of faded, but that is chill. It is second-hand of course. I read the tag as $5.00 and thought "oh that makes sense!" I go up to the woman to pay and then she informs me that the tag actually says $65.00!! I was like "UM no thanks!!" That is WAY out of my price range for any SINGLE used-T-shirt. She says "sorry. It is vintage". Flash forward to later and I think about it more and I get PEEVED, because not only is selling a faded, used beaver and butthole T-shirt for $65.00 RIDICULOUS on any account, but to claim that it is VINTAGE?? GIRL THE LOGO ON THAT SHIRT WAS CLEARLY FROM THE 2011 RUN OF THE SHOW??? IS 2011 "VINTAGE" NOW??? IS THAT WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO GET OUT OF THIS???
#fuck resellers fr#who in their right mind is paying 65 dollars for a beavis and butthead tshirt#who are these resellers marketing towards??#are you trying to tell me a beavis and butthead fan can afford to buy a SINGLE used shirt for 65 dollars#absolutely godsmacking#I bought another shirt from this person last time it was 15 dollars but idk that is reasonable I think#with certain clothing I can get it being pricey like furs and leather products and nice well-made jackets#but RARELY are shirts ever that complicated to make and are usually completely worn down by people in a matter of years#I don't understand people trying to pass that stuff off as vintage and worthy prices OVER 20 dollars#leather jacket? sure I get it a cow died#well-made sweater? yeah sure that stuff can last decades#t-shirt with printed design? that is literally nothing clothing#anyway vent over#resellers out there please try and explain this logic to me I legitimately would love to hear it#squack

On another note on life :
I just bought a new display tablet!! ✨✨✨
I've posted some time a year ago that I was planning to replace my Wacom 16 as the surface has lots of scratches and the pressure sometimes turns off on its own, basically it's been used almost every single day for the past 6 years.
Today, I've finally gathered enough money to buy myself a Huion Kamvas 16 4K! It's thinner and WAY lighter than Wacom. I can literally use a USB-C to USB-C cable to connect it to my laptop (no more heavy and entangled cables). Easier to carry. The colours are way more accurate, and it's more HD since it's in 4K! All in all I'm really glad I switched to this Huion since I can get way more with the same price (I bought the Wacom Cintiq 16 with around the same price back in 2017).
So that's a little update on my drawing tablet situation. I hope I can create art more efficiently with this new device!
#sleepy's thoughts#my wacom still works albeit not in its full performance#I'm planning to resell it with a low price (just anything to cover my recent expenses LMAO)#anyway just wanna share it#thank you for reading

#picture not mine#from craigslist#the lady that sells these is WILD#she buys up literally every single toy she can get her hands on secondhand#and then tries to resell them on craigslist#but her prices are INSANE and no one buys them#so she has this house just filled with toys (I've been there as I bought Care Bears and Neopets from her years ago)#her listings are like 7+ years old at this point#mickey mouse#minnie mouse#disney#toys

Sold the first of the Taylor Swift autographs I got at auction - I paid $45 for this one and it sold for $175 + shipping.
Also sold the last of the sneakers I bought from last year's Kohl's 50% off sale - got them for $17 and sold them for $40.
#reselling adventures#i lowered the price on both of these items to get them to sell faster but overall still pleased with the profit margins

from the tags of my previous post: seriously, thank you! no one seems to acknowledge it, but there are a few "stores" (literally just drop shippers that buy low quality stuff for cheap from aliexpress and sell it to you on a different website as a "brand" for a marked up price) that advertise here on tumblr under the lolita tags with super retouched pictures to make the items look decent that i hope no new lolitas fall for. "sugarplumstore" and "kawaiibabe" are ones i see the most often.
#and that's not to say all resellers are bad. there are decent resellers of taobao stuff like 42lolita that are trustworthy and honest#but acting like this is a “small business” of any sort marking up prices and editing pictures this much is simply disingenuous#they also lump in random maid cosplays and stuff that isn't egl and advertise it as lolita that probably confuses a lot of people

unpopular opinion maybe but i hate this new way of getting tickets. if you didn’t register a year before the concert there’s literally no chance left to get tickets??? even if you change your mind afterwards, you’ll never be able to go??
#i get that it’s to stop scalpers etc#but there’s other ways to do that right??#like that thing ed sheeran did a few years ago??#where you couldn’t resell your ticket for more than the price they bought it for#alina’s thoughts#taylor swift#olivia rodrigo

To celebrate Pacific Rim's 10th anniversary I decided to let this thing finally see the light of day.
Diecast figure of GD—I have no idea how I managed to acquire one years after Soul of Chogokin ceased production, but here she finally is after years of sitting unopened in my closet, waiting for her time.
As you can see she's extremely detailed and very heavy. I forgot she had light up features. I love that they included the oil tanker baseball bat.
#pacific rim#pacific rim 10th anniversary#gipsy danger#guillermo del toro#toy photography#soul of chogokin#thank you random Italian reseller that had this at almost a normal price!#in new condition
