Humanity disgusts me.
Nov. 12th, 2008 10:13 pmI had no idea people were getting ripped off left, right and centre -- or at least that's what people are leading me to believe. I need to be more thankful for the fact that I live in Japan and don't have to go through these kinds of channels to get goods. It really just disgusts me.
Ironically, I'm buying stuff that I can't get in Japan (English DS games) on eBay and the like. The same perils apply.
I don't sell; it's too much time and effort for me. I would like to be able to let people get their mitts on the shiny mags and swag, but I'm not that nice of a person to do it for free. No one does this out of the kindness of their own heart, unless they are already going (like I did for Honey and her Dream Alive bags) but even then. Anything Japanese is a bitch to get outside this country and people know that and know they can make a killing if they find a niche. And stupid fans overseas will pay.
I couln't sell; seeing how much it cost to mail those three mags to
honeycorrupts made me ill. I'm sure if you got good at the selling thing you would know the best/cheapest ways the ship but even still. You can't argue with weight, especially when you're sending a copy of MISS that weighs over a kilo. I didn't charge her anything except for the cost of the mags and shipping and for 3 she paid about 50$ when all was said and done. Just for 3 magazines. It already sucks that you have to pay so much for shipping alone, and then you go and throw assholes ripping people off in the mix. It just makes me feel really sick and disappointed in humanity.
Seeing all of this bullshit happening makes me want to go out and splurge on goods. Concert DVDs!
End of my little rant. :/ I'm gonna play some どうぶつの森 :D
