What is a good price for merchandise?

[Quackkyy The Pegasus 222]

So I'm new to the brony fandom, so naturally I'm knew to pony merch. So that's why I'm asking: Am I getting conned by spending 15 dollars on a pony figurine? What about 18 dollars on a poster?

I'm getting a high quality 16x24 inch poster and a lightly used funko figurine.

Haven't bought myself very much merchant but that sounds about right to me when I think of those items themselves and not being pony specific. Collecting adds up, both in the space it takes up in your home and the space it frees up in your wallet, lol.

I probably have about $100 worth of pony merchandise total, mostly gifted, and it would all fit inside of a shoe box.

Sounds high to me. Check ebay. It is relative to how much money you have. You might want to save for your future.

The poster sounds right to me, but I can’t speak for the figurine as I don’t remember ever buying one.

I don't use ebay enough to need to learn how to haggle. I don't think that would be worthwhile; thanks for the suggestion though. If I find myself using ebay more in the future I'll definitely look into it.

(I'm making haggling seem like this big thing when it's just asking to lower the price)

( the following line is a joke...meaning everything i say is meant half true )

Hahaha newb... Haggling is not that simple...sure its asking for a low price.... But can you make them lower the price?how low can you make them go for the deal? And haggling is a daily life skill. you don't notice it but you are haggling everyday...either that you're not good at it that you don't notice. Like getting a raise or asking your boss for a day off. Or asking your mom to buy you stuff.

Well it depends on the figure and poster. So l wouldn't know.

15 Dollars on a Funko Figurine isn't honestly that bad of a price, I've paid upwards of $34 for some rare Funko pony figures in the past.

If it's a high quality one and it's brand new that honestly isn't that terrible of a price either. However when I buy posters I usually like to buy them from the Traveling Pony Museum, that way I can directly support the independent fandom artists who created them and still get some super cool pone posters to decorate my walls with
