Oh no I'll gladly buy merch from the artists themselves if I could afford to

Check out our new hoodie! Only $100.

I mean I think that could be a fair price, clothes can be pretty expensive to make and you also have to live off of selling them. Of course I am in no position to buy them at that price but I'm a broke student.

$100 USD for a hoodie is dumb expensive. I refuse to pay more than $50 for a hoodie, and even then it better be a high quality hoodie. Better make me sweat in 40 degree weather.

The point of a 100 dollar merch hoodie isn't that you get a 100 dollars worth of hoodie. It's that you support the artist. A less expensive hoodie means less for the artists. That's kinda the point of merch....
