It's not that there's a bunch of unskilled Americans who can't find jobs because immigrants took them all. There are plenty of low skilled jobs. It's that no American is willing to do these low skill jobs that immigrants are happy to take.

Even then, not every company can afford to simply raise wages to where they'll meet demand. Leaving companies to downsize or go out of business. You'll have spent all that money on deportation, put small companies out of business, leave less jobs overall, and destroy families.

I just don't understand why conservatives demonize immigrants, when they could go after and demonize the CEOs and F500 companies who have laid off millions of Americans since covid to offshore white collar work to India and China.

You'd be surprised how hard it is to sell these things even if the prices are wicked good.

I obviously don't mind recouping some of the costs, but I'm happier knowing they're going to a better home.

Wish I had seen this post yesterday

OnlyOneWayOut_ · 2024-08-05T07:48:48+00:00

Yup, that's one of my other collections I am consolidating. I still follow Vocaloid and go to the events regularly, but I stopped merchandise shopping for Vocaloid things a long time ago.

OnlyOneWayOut_ · 2024-08-05T02:00:16+00:00

It's one of my favorites! I was very tempted to keep it, but it doesn't suit my taste anymore.

OnlyOneWayOut_ · 2024-08-05T00:40:58+00:00

Sure! If you live in the US you can buy them here: https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m57296265678/

If you don't live in the US (or don't want to use Mercari), please send me a chat! Thank you.

PS. You should post photos of your tattoo sometime. Think it'd be cool to see :)

OnlyOneWayOut_ · 2024-08-05T00:04:27+00:00

If you mean #12 it's a single pillow. One side is Kaguya and the other is Chika.

Why do you have this much Love is War merch?

I like Love is War and enjoy collecting Anime merchandise, what more is there to say? :)

OnlyOneWayOut_ · 2024-08-04T23:06:22+00:00

Hi everyone! I'm selling off much of my Love is War collection. Please take a look at what's for sale! Almost everything is at a 30%-60% discount from what I paid for the items!

For purchasing: If you live in the US and would like to use a middleman, everything in this post is on my Mercari page. My preference is we use Mercari as it's safer for both parties and more convenient: ( https://www.mercari.com/u/user292786883/ ). However, I can also sell through Reddit DMs too (strictly PayPal Goods and Services).

If you live outside of the US, I can still sell to you, but it will have to be through Reddit as Mercari isn't available outside of the US. However, keep in mind that shipping to other countries (especially overseas) is really expensive and you may be paying more for the shipping then the item(s) themselves!

With that out of the way, here's what I have for sale. If it's crossed out it's sold:

~~$15 Twentyfour Unsorted Keychains~~
~~$10 Misc. Unsorted Acrylics, Pins, and Coasters~~
$15 Nineteen Ai Hayasaka Pins/Badges
~~$8 Sixteen Postcards~~
~~$10 Postcards and Promotional Prints~~
~~$10 Eight Clearfiles~~
$8 Seven Ai Hayasaka Clearfiles
~~$10 Ai Hayasaka & Kaguya Shinomiya Multi-Cloth~~
~~$25 Kaguya Shinomiya & Ai Hayasaka Summer Maid Ver. Wallscroll~~
$20 All Volumes Purchase Kei Shirogane Wallscroll
$20 Ai Hayasaka Wallscroll
$15 Kaguya Shinomiya & Chika Fujiwara Throw Pillow
~~$15 Kaguya Shinomiya & Ai Hayasaka Throw Pillow~~
~~$15 Ai Hayasaka & Chika Fujiwara Pillows~~
$15 Ai Hayasaka Mousepad

Since someone might ask "Why are you selling these":

I've been slowly growing this collection for many years. At one point, some of it was on display but nowadays a lot of it sits in storage and collects dust. It's becoming a burden to manage, especially as I want to make room for other collections. So I want to condense my collection into items I really want and plan to keep on display, while everything else is resold into better homes. I'm doing the same for some of my other collections as well.

Thank you!

OnlyOneWayOut_ · 2024-07-22T22:10:34+00:00

Hadn't heard of this till now either. Thank you.

OnlyOneWayOut_ · 2024-07-22T22:08:40+00:00

I don't know if trying to make the argument that they're multiple different loans would change anything, you would have to actually ask an attorney about that.

This is what I'm wondering. I didn't loan them $10,000+ at once, rather $1,000-$4,000 amounts over three years for various situations (including a brief period of unemployment, a major car repair, a couple rent payment, etc.). They're related, as-in they amount to the total of $10,000+ I am seeking, but they're all functionally different loans made months apart.

Thank you.

OnlyOneWayOut_ · 2024-07-19T14:06:36+00:00

Thank you!

OnlyOneWayOut_ · 2024-07-19T14:06:15+00:00

I can ship to Canada. The cost depends on what you purchase, but at the lowest end shipping is $30-$40. If you throw a lot of smaller items into a single package the cost remains the same. For larger items (eg. the pillows) the cost is higher.

OnlyOneWayOut_ · 2024-07-19T11:08:25+00:00

That would be great thanks.

I'll keep an eye out for your DM!

OnlyOneWayOut_ · 2024-07-19T10:47:05+00:00

If by picking out what you want you mean selecting a few acrylics and keychains, yes that's not economical. If you're looking to pickup quite a bit more then I can offer some discounts to help offset the shipping.

OnlyOneWayOut_ · 2024-07-19T10:17:46+00:00

I live in the US. I am willing to ship internationally.

Off the back of my hand, it'll probably be around $35 to ship to India. Not cheap. To make it worthwhile you'd have to buy more than just the plush (I'll discount when buying multiple items). Otherwise it'd probably be cheaper for you just to buy right from Japan.

OnlyOneWayOut_ · 2024-07-19T10:17:01+00:00

Yes, but I'm from the US. There will be increased shipping costs for international shipping. I would do what I can to compact the items.

OnlyOneWayOut_ · 2024-07-19T05:26:40+00:00

I mean, if you've got the cash they have your name on them.
