A Nag Pa I Root (NAGNAGNAG) and der Angora Patio

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Yeah, I won't lie, I was typing my email for kicks and see if I would win, and then I came to my senses.
Even if it came with a shirt or something, still ridiculous.
Oh, and don't forget shipping!
Hell, I paid half of that for a PAINTED FULL-SIZED NAG!
Just plain retarded.

Well, to anyone else, have fun with that one.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Havent those balls blown by the 1000 dollar mark on the resale market a while ago, or is that all just shill bidding and related shenanigans ?

Way too expensive for my thin wallet in any case.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

So when Mishka jacks up the prices it's all a-okay, "gallery mark-up" etc., but when some Japanese shop does it (and even offers overseas folks the opportunity to participate in the lottery - those evil dogs!), people act all offended? REALLY..???

That said, 30k for an unpainted Nagball seems indeed a bit on the zany side, GID or not. I'll pass.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

un-painted NAGBall in a leftover tin box is not worth it..

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Well, at least you got a handmade luchador nag mask, a new screen-printed case, AND it was painted as the whole package.

But, either way, its a fart cupcake in the mouth.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

It would be funny if all the NAGs boobotchers flipping on ebay right now went for for less than retail of the new nagball.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Yea hilarious.. Arent you fucking outlook8?!!
and although it wouldve been better for him to offer the stuff here... theyre started at 1.00 i dunno if you could consider it flipping either..

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Not sure if I understand this. Because flippers sell it for so high, Shig should too?

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I'm not saying he should do that I'm just saying what he's probably doing. In almost every case (not just here), the retail prices will eventually follow the secondary market prices. How does Kaws get away with charging over $300 for a figure? It's certainly not cost plus a 100% mark up....it's much more. The prices on these toys will move just like limited prints. If an artist is hot and collectible he/she will charge more than someone who is not. That's the name of the game and we all know that but still end up feeling stung when it happens.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

is that really Boo? Give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he's just filling in for Busizem while he's on the run? Ever think of that!? Psssshaw

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Well said Jordan.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Going out on a limb, but I think the KAWS stuff has allot more involved then a blank vinyl pull. This is seriously a stupid price for a blank ball of vinyl.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I don't think the price of the new Nagballs is that absurd. With these lotteries, the real fans go up against a shit ton of flippers hoping to buy cheap and sell big. Well, what if the retail price was higher? That would mean a larger overhead for the flippers, as well as less of a profit margin. I would imagine that, although not entirely, this will ween out a few of those players looking to make a quick buck... raising the odds a bit for true collectors. And sure, the price is higher, but you have a better shot at not having to pay an exorbitant amount of blood money later.

If I were the artist, I'd be pissed that some grundle-fuck out there is making 5X the profit I made on my own blood, sweat, and tears... for doing absolutely no work outside of sending an email. I don't think it's a slap in the face to fans for him to raise his prices a bit. I do think it's kind of a slap in the face to him tho, for true fans to expect him NOT to, considering what the demand is for his shit. Afterall, he could always outsource this shit, get it mass produced, sell each piece for WAY less, satisfy all demands... and then we'd be on here bitching about how his work is mass produced krap.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I think a lot of people at this point are just expecting him to increase the run sizes by now. It's literally just a blank one piece vinyl pull. Grody Shogun just had about a hundred blank heads around the same size made available on their site for...4 dollars a piece and they even included the flash. And I bet there's a profit margin built into that price. Shig literally didn't even touch these so there's no point in not mass producing these except that it wouldn't fuel the hype and drama he wants so he and Mishka can keep charging even more absurd prices for their stuff.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

^ Genius alert !

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

^^

yet again, it's his toy and he can do whatever the fuck he wants. why should he do that, because you want it?

and who are these people who are expecting him to increase the run size?

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

The 99% who have been unable to win one or refuse to pay the insane secondary prices

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

yes, but he said expecting not wishing.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I for one would love to see an open run but in no way am I trying to tell the man how to run his company or pretend to know. I enter lottos in hopes to win, no luck then oh well try the next time. Amethystcape, your level of hypocrisy is beyond belief so anything you say is pretty much seen as this.



come to think of it, why arent you on my ignore list with that other shit talker?

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I'm still going to enter the lottery. seems like my chances won't be that bad given the reaction here.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

After all this, it will probably be worse. Hype machine keeps on grinding. . .

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I don't care about nags so I'm going to aproach this like it was any real world topic... manipulation of supply and demand to hurt or manipulate a consumer is bad business PERIOD especially in what is SUPPOSED to be a tight knit "for the love of the game" community, yeah I have no room to tell someone how to run their business but I have plenty of room to call these people out on being dicks and far worse, guess what shig you're the GW Bush of sofubi, keep letting a "barrel" or 2 loose into the market when you are sitting on unlimited rescourses just because it leaves you sitting pretty, I'm whole heartedly glad that most people on this scene give a shit about the scene and those involved and don't act a fool like this

PS when you can buy a full size custom cheaper than an unpainted head some alarms SHOULD go off inside of your head

pps http://www.cometdebris.com/store/Middle/C1F4EF/Tokoji+Seijin+Head yeah the marbeling may have pushed this guy up to $10

ppps remember when everyone and their mom was flipping rose vampires?remember how super 7 uped production and you couldn't flip a new rose vampire release if your life depended on it?
