'The Home Shows' X 'The Away Shows' Merch

This thread reminded me why Donald Trump is president.

I hope no violence befalls the fan from Mexico or anyone in her traveling party while they're in Seattle.

If so, I've got lots of screenshots of evidence for suspects to send to the Seattle PD -- that is, if they would even care. I mean, the U.S.'s mission is to use fear as a deterrent, right? Getting your ass kicked for spending your hard-earned cash while on vacation seems like it fits the current policy.

Wtf?

If you bought 1 of everything... would it add up to $1,500 or $2,300?

And spending that much to just keep it is very strange behavior.  Especially multiple people in the same party.  It looks like many items were purchased in triplicate to several.  

And working through a line that is multiple hours long, people should have the self-awareness not to perform a 40-minute transaction x3.  Grab the posters or a few other items you deem to be "in demand", step away, and clean up on the remainder of the stuff later when there is time.  


These situations are why I no longer participate in anything merch.

So she keeps all that stuff? 

As i said, huge collector, very well respected fan in pj community. 
And For sure the pj flippers are not fans from mexico.  its an  inside job, no need tot built a wall. 

I stand corrected, someone said they were from Brazil.  Doesn't matter where they are from, their behavior was disgusting.  Fan or not, it was absolutely obscene the amount of stuff she and the other individuals in her group purchased.  I saw them gather 4 huge orders.  Respected? Yeah, I'm sure they are keeping all that stuff for themselves.  "pj flippers are not fans from mexico" LOL, hahahaha!  Ok, whatever you say!

sure,,u saw someone first time in your life and u know better than someone  knows her for years..
if someone else in the future thinks they know u and what u doing and films u and bush u in social media..im sure u will feel great

Dimi, I think there's a lesson here after that anti-flipper rant you went on the other day. If you and others are screaming about the damage they do, what do you think is going to happen next when someone makes multiple thousand dollar orders in a merch line?

Is someone who sells one poster at a 4x markup "worse" than someone who will do whatever necessary to collect every unique item from 7 stadium shows? If we're fretting over greed, it comes in a variety of flavors.

Personally I don't mind either activity. Neither has much, if any, impact on me. I do find it interesting, though, when morality gets squishy based on who is "ok." If you didn't know that person, I'm pretty sure you'd be thinking the same thing as everyone else.

No, not me!

Ok, this might of been answered already I tried to read all comments but is this cash only?

I'm going with 100% positive that's a no, with no exact knowledge of whether it's truth or not. No way they don't take cards though with the $3k transaction from ebay flippers and the $1500/$2300 transactions from *cough* "collectors."

I paid with my credit card $118!

She paid with  cash, all on video:

You actually filmed that? Lol

Sad I know, but you get really board watching one person's purchase for like 40 minutes!!!  I should have just walked out, but I was almost next in my line and already invested several hours.  I'm weak, sad, and she is a respected pj community member!  LOL!  All good now!

You know, the $ and amount of merch aside....40 minutes is the worst part of that!  Heck if they spent 40 minutes up there picking through the stickers to find the best one and that was all they bought...it would be as bad as buying $2k worth of stuff and spending 40 minutes. especialyl since your 3 friends do the same thing.

let me tell u what i see if i want to see it that way......i see someone buys pj merch,with out buy more than the allowed limit and someone behind her film her with out permition,film her ass,harass her while shopping and call her out in pj social media cos is a foreigner,,
how about that?
see?everyone can assume what ever they want,right?
so,everyone can believe what ever they like..i said my opinion of something i know...nothing else to add to this

We can debate what the motivations for acquiring that much quantity of stuff, or if its a clinical sickness to desire thousands of dollars worth of chotchkes for personal "consumption", many in triplicate/several... but this is the part that also gets me the most.  Its a complete lack of self-awareness and lack of empathy or caring for the people behind you in line.

This place gets more and more bizarre by the day.
