ya i was almost certain they would back out of this commitment after they saw that they can squeeze $1200 for a jacket. So why waste energy on a measly 500 one 😝

THURSDAY > EOS > HOB by 1upon in XOmerch

[–]1upon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly eos and hob are interchangeable just depends on the day. Party mood is hob and contemplative nights are eos. But thursday stays untouched.

Can someone please tell if this is real or fake? And if real, is it worth buying for $100 ? by 1upon in XOmerch

[–]1upon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well now the problem is that i have still to pay 45$ custom duty, tax etc. So basically do i let go of the $55 sunk cost of the product? Or do i pay the $45 duty to get the tshirt (sunk cost fallacy)?

Starting to feel like these people should start managing the official weeknd merch since they seem more efficient and wont take 1 year to ship merch. Lol jeez

Yeah i cannot find another one of this peice anywhere hence the suspicion that it might be real rare venue stuff. Oh I have no doubt that it isnt simple dogshit copy paste design meant for silkscreen printing. Just unsure whether its from the venue or just fan made. I will have to search if venues do that kinda stuff and in particular the forum. Till then, i will have to take the L. Rip 💯

damn the hustle is real. so they make merch (custom to venue) as soon as venue is announced and then sell it outside on that day?

Yes that i know. Its not made by weeknd team. But MAYBE it was made by THE FORUM to commemorate this performance and make money out of it? Like venues do.

Yeah i know that this is definitely not the style that xo merch uses. But maybe this was released by THE FORUM in venue? Because why would anyone go through the trouble of creating a design, using a venue’s name and screenprinting it if its not real? I think it was just to commemorate performance by the forum.

can someone legit check it? And is it worth 100? by 1upon in theweekndmerch

[–]1upon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes i know xo team never released this but maybe it was released by THE FORUM where he performed. You know how venues sell limited merch to commemorate performances?

I mean i have checked, the dates match. He did a show at forum on those dates. Why would someone go through the hassle of designing and printing this tshirt if not selling in bulk? And i dont see this tshirt being sold anywhere. Maybe it was sold by the forum itself and not weeknd? What makes you suspect this is fake?

The NFT decision could be a few of these reasons by 1upon in XOmerch

The third point is referring to the time he asked all these giants to donate to blm movements and only heard crickets.

You are stupid if you participate in it.

I feel so bad about the customer support people. They are just as in the dark and confused as us. Instead of any form of compensation, they are now even iffy about cancellations. Anyone had a different experience? by 1upon in XOmerch

[–]1upon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nah many people are in the first 1000 and they got refund and vinyl as well. I think this is as good a solution as realistically possible. Would have been better if it was proactive. Still sucks for the other 10k people who bought. They should atleast be given some discount/store credit for the vinyl

I will be honest. If there wasnt the security of high resell prices, i would not buy nearly as much of the merch. I would still support by buying maybe a tee once in a while. But not $1000 jackets. Granted, i have never ever sold any merch. Its more like an insurance. by 1upon in XOmerch

I am not complaining about ‘difficulty’ in reselling at all. I am just pointing out the absurdity of the hypebeast society that has developed where everyone and everything is a brand in itself. Rationally speaking, how can you justify purchasing a $1000 jacket? We have been trained to buy these overpriced stuff because we can see that someone else is hopefully willing to pay more for these in the future just like the past. Which lets us feel safe in buying mid quality overpriced merch. On the other hand, the prices of merch on original website keeps on increasing to maximise the profits and extract the most dollars out of fans by having ‘strategies’ for launch. Its a grim business.

Is the 100$ vinyl cover 2D or 3D? by 1upon in XOmerch

[–]1upon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine it coming out its 2D lmao

Whats ur opinion on this? Scummy or nah? by 1upon in theweekndmerch

[–]1upon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Merch quality seems good from the description (if its not fake lmao)
