Plagued Consoomers / Consoomer Culture - Because if it has a recogniseable brand on it, I’d buy it!

You can’t really compare it that way though.

Americans don’t pay Swedish taxes, 25% sales tax, have Swedish waiting lists, and Swedish doctors can’t get sued.

And of course Swedes may have plenty of niggos, but they don’t have millions of illegals who consume public ressources without contributing.
On your first point I was getting ready to pull sales, federal, and state taxes for different locations, but your final one is kind of the most important one there tbh.

As an apology for getting political, please enjoy the following:

Troydan is consooming vidya again.

This time, it’s the PS5’s turn:

I doubt though that he made that same face after realizing that Sony still has no games to play in current year.
 
A question for the throng. Does spending ridiculous amounts on concert tickets count as consooming?


Four large to see Springsteen. Yes, the price is being driven by demand, but that’s the same as the retarded scalper prices being paid by collectors and such. A concert is basically a consumable item— it happens, then ends— but people still save the tickets as keepsakes, despite their having no real ‘value’ once the show ends. Or am I just thinking way too far into this?

There's a song by Cake that addresses this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnKXS-W4Lcs
I think it's the same shit, someone can afford "to be better" by having "better experiences" and lording it over other people.
 
I hate these weeb zoomers which enter comics and expect comic art to be manga/anime coomer garbage. Nothing pisses me off more then when these zoomer weebs say classic comic artists like Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, George Perez, Frank Quitley, ect are ugly because they aren't "attractive" like manga is designed to be. The best modern artists working out of DC right now are like all south americans (esp brazilians) and eastern Europeans my favorite being Bilquis Evely
To find a good comic book artist or even good cover is like finding needle in a shitty haystack. If you know where to look you won't pozload my neghole. Currently you don't have all these classic comic book artists; it's either diversity hires, dyed ugly bitches, or Zoey Quinn but few good artists if you can find them.
 

FOX News caught up with Kanye West in NYC, as Ye explains the reason as to why he does not like the idea of critics suggesting that he’s selling his YEEZY GAP clothing in trash bags.
 
Well, at least this is meta, I guess:

You'd think it'd label the specific alien it was but no it just says "ALIEN" Sure they all got the same wacky rubber mask face but funko usually gets really fucking anal about the specifics of it's names even for generic background guys or specific poses they make into these fucking funko pop things.
 
Retro gauging pricing still continues

Whoever did this really dislikes Dreamcast owners or is trying to boost eBay ad sponsors. There’s no excuse for this nonsense.
Anyone that buys Dreamcast games to play them (instead of just burning some ROMs to discs) is retarded. And the people buying them to collect them are dumb coomers that deserve to get gouged.

If I bought a video game at any point it's to play it. Sure, piracy and emulation arethings that fucking exist but sometimes you want to just have the actual fucking thing. The person selling that sonic game clearly does not intend for it to be played at that price point. What seems to be going on is a combo of attempting to tap into both the "RETRO COLLECTOR!!!" and "signed copy!" consumerism at the same time. Considering like 1 or 2 of the SA2 Voice actors are fucking dead from what I remember that adds "value" by the second one's logic. That combined with it being SEVERAL signatures instead of a singular one and a "valuable game" fuse it into the unholy nightmare price point you see before you. It'd be a cool thing to own but at that price it probably belongs in a fucking museum.
 
I have found my people

As if there was any doubt that the eBay vault was part of a money laundering scheme… now vaulted items can be sold and traded between any individuals worldwide as a tax free transaction due to a Delaware tax law. Easy to bump values up if there’s minimal taxes on the deal.

With the exception of pokemon cards, aren't most cards actually declining in value? I remember reading a few years ago that baseball cards have lost like half their value

I remember the weird shit whrre ebay had officially promoted pokemon scalper listings a year or so back listed at the starting bid of like over 10 thousand dollars each or some insane shit like that and overnight pokemon cards spiked in "value" tot he point you can't find a single listing under 50 dollars for some of the original ones (but only the US versions Japanese ones are dirt cheap still IIRC) . This seems to becausing a ripple effect of sorts because when I was at a place that soldused cards earlierthis year and later at a game selling convention they had fucking dragonball Z trading cards of all things for 400 dollars each. Barely any niche hobby is affordabe anymore because everyone's chasing the "online value" dragon.
