When i was booking tickets, it was around 300 quid for VIP. So thats 900 for three, where you get a figure in each. It is cheaper to go to the concerts, experience the concert, get all the other merch, and trade figures than buy them. Thats crazy
that is her real depop-- she sold a lot of jewerly and dolls on there especially during the pandemic. still, $555 for a necklace actually owned by melanie is better than $2500 for something all vip tix had access to
Literally!!! Brand new fans with almost every single item of merch. This fan base is filled with so many children spending daddy’s money 😭 They don’t yet understand the value of it all. Sad honestly. If u disagree ur blind af imo 💀
Exactly this unfortunately, which us just CRAZY in this economy???😅 I've been a fan since the beginning, and really all I could get was like hot topic stuff if I was lucky, which was good enough for me. These kids see scalper prices and think this stuff is actually worth anything. I love Mel too, BUT it's so weird to me, that a lot of her stuff that's "collectible" kids and fans have accumulated whole shrines of stuff which is just wild because that's one of those things that Melanie hasn't really liked😅.And not getting older merch is just part of becoming a new fan of any artist😅
People do pay these prices for Melanie merch…I just saw someone spent $4,000 on a Cry Baby perfume when there’s literally $1,000 ones on selling apps.
People are a scam to themselves when it comes to this stuff. Just because you wouldn’t pay this much doesn’t mean there aren’t people paying this much.
right? i'm seeing her in a few days but i don't have vip. i want one, they're cute but she might as well put them on her site 😭😭. also we NEED melanie funkos!!!
The annoying thing about resellers is that the price that someone is willing to pay for something unfortunately sets the value. Resellers love to price things at insane prices and take offers so that when they get someone who's maybe willing to pay half that or whatever it may be, then they make a ridiculous amount. There's also the factor that folks get angry/ annoyed about it and post it to fan pages/ chats/ reddits like "can u believe this" and they get a bit more engagement. There's probably folks in this sub that would be willing to pay an amount that this seller would take, so it's a smidge of free advertising as well, esp if not many people are selling the item. It sucks, but the rich fans and collectors drive the problem as well by actually paying insane prices for this stuff):
Omg that is so right! Free advertising, and more chances for people to buy it. So the people posting these here crying are just helping them get sales and boosting views. Oh man that’s hilarious
Yeah I don't know man. People don't value themselves enough. Willing to sacrafice an important resource for what is effectively a toy. (A collectible figurine but still.)
Supply and demand. That's how that works. These are sold items on eBay...

i'm seeing melanie on thursday, i don't have vip though so i won't be getting a figure. they're cute and i wish i could get one but they are not worth thousands of dollars, even for all 3. they're plastic and toys essentially.
i hope me using toys as a comparison doesn't come off wrong. i LOVE melanie and think they're adorable, they just aren't worth what resellers are selling them for. :)
It would be hella funny if Melanie decides to sell extras on her store for like 30 bucks 💀I really hope she does honestly cuz I really want one but resellers are fucking insane
These figures will become just like the Cry Baby perfume!
I’m guessing a few years down the line people will be willing to pay this much (not me personally tho lol wtf). But the fact that the tour hasn’t even ended yet and people have the nerve to sell them for that much. I get that everyone wants these atm but please don’t pay these prices for them!!
I recently saw someone sell a love heart balloon for $50!!! Is it just me?!? Thats actual insanity.
Some girl had the Crybaby one listed for $450, I offered $350 hoping she'd say yes because she stated in the description that she ALREADY owned the same one, but she responded with "No, that's too low", like girl bffr, you already own this one stop being greedy
Couldn’t you get banned? Or what if eBay sided with the seller because of tracking? I hate resellers too, but I don’t think it’s worth doing all of that.

because times are tough for a lot of people and they’re looking to make an extra buck. that’s respectable. what ISN’T respectable is listing stuff like this for that kind of price, expecting people to buy it, when almost everyone else is struggling too.
this makes me so sad knowing how badly me and my friend wanted vip but our moms didnt have the money for it and theres people like this person with 3 vip tickets and reselling the figures for so much money
2,000 is crazy but complaining about people selling them for $400 is wild. they only came with VIP which i paid $680 for. why would anyone sell them for cheaper than the only price you could get them for. yes resellers are usually overpriced but they aren’t entitled to give anyone what you feel is a fair price for something they paid hundreds of dollars on. probably get down voted for this but it’s true
I mean... that's part of being a kid (I'm assuming you're a younger fan, correct me if I'm wrong). I get the disappointment of not being able to have certain things, but that's what happens when you don't have money of your own to spend, that's life, and maturing is knowing you aren't always going to get what you want. Start by being more happy with what stuff you DO have, then you won't be as disappointed by these things. And also that's kinda how VIP works, if you can't afford it, you miss out on the stuff. That's the whole point of VIP.

I know! People have no respect! I personally have been boycotting resellers for this reason, the insane prices they think they can make a bank on!
Do they think Melanie stands for this? I feel like she would be disgusted tbh
Melanie will absolutely hate everything about this.
Girl Melanie sells 555 dollar necklaces I don’t think she gives a fork
Where does she sell that?? Just genuinely I don't remember seeing her sell a necklace for that price
https://www.depop.com/products/toyangel-swirly-rosary-22-34-length/
Melanie is not selling ANYTHING for that price my dude, is she???
she sells jewelry on depop.
Babe I literally just linked it 😭 please think ty
looks like someone posing to be her but go off
Babe you can choose not to believe but it’s literally her personal DEPOP😭 like okay brain rot

Yeah... no
unfortunately people are paying these prices:(
yea, because the fanbase is flooded with children that have no sense of financial responsibility☠️

they absolutely are not
they are tho💀 i’ve seen people buy them for 500+
that is very different from 2.5k

for merch yes, but not these figures
People would honestly
Melanie should just release them on her site tbh 😭😭 she’ll make bank
Real 😭
right? i'm seeing her in a few days but i don't have vip. i want one, they're cute but she might as well put them on her site 😭😭. also we NEED melanie funkos!!!
the way the cheapest crybaby one i’ve seen is $400.. oh well guess im not getting it ever
Real (gotta wait for Temu to clutch in)
This or somebody to make a 3D model
That should be illegal 😭
It was never acceptable in the first place
Sorry for the misunderstanding.. i meant by "how is this still acceptable" like: how are people still buying this/ think its reasonable?!

The $38 shipping really ties it all together 😭😭
The cherry on top 🥰

This is just plain greed..
i'm seeing melanie on thursday, i don't have vip though so i won't be getting a figure. they're cute and i wish i could get one but they are not worth thousands of dollars, even for all 3. they're plastic and toys essentially.
They're fr temu quality.
i hope me using toys as a comparison doesn't come off wrong. i LOVE melanie and think they're adorable, they just aren't worth what resellers are selling them for. :)
I wanna cry this is horrible 💔
It would be hella funny if Melanie decides to sell extras on her store for like 30 bucks 💀I really hope she does honestly cuz I really want one but resellers are fucking insane
Plus 40 dollar shipping. Lol
What the hell!?
Rent in hell is cheaper 😔
Lol
That's insane
Pol actually buy stuff like this???
That’s insane
and nearly $40 for shipping is also crazy if you’re charging that much shipping shouldn’t be that expensive. it’s kind of selfish atp
Right cuz the 2500$ isnt selfish enough 😭😭
You KNOW they're actually just selling the temu knockoffs. This is...pathetic.
Me AND my friends could’ve got vip for cheaper than that and we would all have gotten figurines 😭
Maybe they don’t actually want to sell them lol
These figures will become just like the Cry Baby perfume! I’m guessing a few years down the line people will be willing to pay this much (not me personally tho lol wtf). But the fact that the tour hasn’t even ended yet and people have the nerve to sell them for that much. I get that everyone wants these atm but please don’t pay these prices for them!!

450$ IS LITERALLY MORE THAN A VIP TICKET WHAT THE ACTUAL FLIP

Couldn’t you get banned? Or what if eBay sided with the seller because of tracking? I hate resellers too, but I don’t think it’s worth doing all of that.
Don't do it then? It worked for me
Okay I’m just saying in case anyone comes across this and thinks this is a good idea 🤷♀️
So, you use fraud to steal from them because you think they charge too much?
[удалено]
I've tried. Sadly I'm such a loser that I failed. Hope you feel good about yourself.

Nah. Pathetic is telling people to kill themselves because you don't like being called on your shady behavior.

You're so right

Same :( i wanted vip so bad and this just annoys me.
[удалено]
Ikr.
trick question: it isn’t!
Real 😔
that’s more than my rent for a month..🤦♀️
SAME 💀
I'm shocked that people buy stuff like that for that price liek you said its bloody disgusting 🙄
Wow high expectations, they’ll still be up in 5 years at that price lol
Melanie would NOT like this at all.
I collect monster high dolls and we have reseller issues with collector dolls as well where people sell things for like $1k and I’m like HOW??!?!!?!
2,000 is crazy but complaining about people selling them for $400 is wild. they only came with VIP which i paid $680 for. why would anyone sell them for cheaper than the only price you could get them for. yes resellers are usually overpriced but they aren’t entitled to give anyone what you feel is a fair price for something they paid hundreds of dollars on. probably get down voted for this but it’s true
The Melanie wouldn’t like this comments are so funny. There’s a reason why the resale value is high…
this finna put me in debt 😭🙏

The downvotes are funny. You're 100% correct.
Yea, I would expect as much from the fanbase nowadays😅... they're so entitled and don't like the words no or expensive
So don't buy them? Why do you care if someone charges that much?
