How does J-List still operate while being so ridiculously expensive?

Most of the stuff that'd be their bread 'n' butter can be easily found on other similar sites for far less DOSH.

4chan is not "everywhere".

Also, a google search will instantly give you other sites. Are there really enough people so dumb and lazy they won't compare just TWO sites' prices before making a $60+ purchase?

>> No.7797444

I was going to make this thread four hours ago. I was looking a Nendoroids and compared them between jlist and amazon, and the ones on jlist were literally between 3 and 6 times the price of those on amazon.

Then I saw all the other threads on 0 and decided not to.

It is simply the power of advertisement. I've seen their ads on Hong, nyaa, and others as well as here. I wouldn't be surprised if you told me they were on gaia too.

Good thing they advertise in many places that aren't 4chan.

>Are there really enough people so dumb and lazy they won't compare just TWO sites' prices before making a $60+ purchase?
Presumably so, yes.

J-List seems more expensive for the stuff that Amazon has in stock, but I haven't seen a Nendoroid on Amazon under thirty or one on J-List over ninety.

J-List is more expensive, but a quick look makes it seem like it's not by more than 100% or in most cases even 50%.

Just out of curiosity, are there any other sites like Jlist, but not as expensive?

The fuck is dosh? Is it a Jersey thing?

It's a Cyberpunk 2020 thing.
Maybe it's also a real thing.

J-list is mainly used for those "babby's first anime merchandise purchase" types and idiots who don't know better. There tends to be a lot of those people.

It's something the British get from killing zombies. They use it to buy weapons/ammo/armor so they can kill more zombies, and they often like to sing about dosh while they toss it at each other.

Seriously. I was at a damn con a few months ago and they had Guignol Quest for $35.

I thought they were supposed to be expensive and online shit supposed to be dirt cheap.
