I've recently sold off a lot of old merchandise I consumed when I was a lonely teenager, mostly anime shit, band shirts, and action figures. I used some of the money I got from that to buy a nice gift for my sick friend, and she was very happy and grateful which made me happy too

What is even the point of buying a rip-off "cheap" version if the point of a fashion doll is to look nice and have good fashion? They are not a utility rip-off item, they are purely decorative things, and they're so ugly, I doubt even kids would be interested in their dead-eyed horsefaces.

>>2201955The number of people who will buy huge 60+ cm dolls is probably like 1/20th that of the smaller dolls. Most of the Chinese companies are run by corporations instead of artists, and they keep artists on contract to constantly create new heads. So even the decent artists will churn out derps and not care. You can't get a refund on any of these things, so you want to see real photos of unpainted heads before buying anything. But when they do these "limited" dolls, nobody will see the real product until long after it's discontinued. By the time you realize the prototype was 100% shoop, you're $800 SOL. And the companies don't care, because there will always be another 100 teenagers with Christmas money to waste. And if you try to sell a 60+ cm Chinese doll, even if it doesn't look shitty and you have photos to prove it, everybody will still assume that you're hiding something and trying to scam them. But they do want the body for about $200 to put a nicer head on it. It's like buying a very expensive tar baby. And next month there will be a dozen new doll heads that might look better than last years's "limited" dolls, so it's fomo gacha hell.

Picrel post has 7 photos, 1 for each drawer plus one of the closed chest of drawers. Every single one is crammed with candles. I counted 118 candles of varying sizes. For one season. This is nowhere near the worst post on that consoomerist hellhole of a subreddit but something about having an entire chest of drawers dedicated to candles for a single season is fucking nightmarish. How much of a consoomer do you have to be to think that this is in any way normal? Even if she burns candles every day in every room that's going to take forever to get through.

Tangential but I hate blindbox fags in the BJD community. They whine about how they can't afford resin dolls because they're "inaccessible" and then buy like twenty near identical blindbox dolls that rot on their shelves with no customization or creativity to be seen. Unlike with resin, they don't have to wait long or do any research or DIY or really anything creative with the blind boxes. Just order more cheap plastic fullsets for that quick dopamine hit. Then they flood the secondhand market and act surprised when nobody wants to buy them. I'm getting so tired of seeing self righteous tourists post their hoards of ugly kikagoods dolls all smashed together with shitty lighting screeching that they are heckin
valid BJDs too then they ask the most retarded questions that could be solved by lurking even the slightest bit in real BJD spaces instead of shitting them up and accusing people of gatekeeping. I'm not saying resin owners can't be consooemrs or anything but the blind box fags are so obnoxious with it.

A while back it was exploding candles. You know, the normal things. You can read through endless posts where consoomers proudly show their vintage body care items that they kept since 2007 and still use on special occasions. If you'd like to know where to get a few lightly expired body lotions from 2014 without overpaying for the privilege, you'll find plenty of tips there. You'll see a handful of comments that carefully dance around the rampant consoomerism, but mostly it's enablers fuelling each others' shopping addictions and hoarding tendencies.

So $800 or $900 for a complete doll seems like a bargain, even though it's a mediocre paint job on a mediocre doll in a mediocre outfit.

>>2203139I own a single 70+ bjd among my collection and a couple of blind box bjds. And a smattering of random older MSD dolls.
I'd say my 70+ is a very old sculpt (body 2010 and head 2012 and it's made by an artist)
And I would say that the concepts of blind box bjds are often kinda cute, even if derivative, but the quality is just. not. there.
One of my dolls came pre-stained with clothing with one accessory piece just falling apart first time I tried to put it on. The second one needed hands removed to put on her outfit and the elastic immediately stretched to the point of no return just from that. Not to mention both have hair that doesn't fit tight enough, so the fringe falls off easily.
My older BJDs are just fine, heavy, zero plastic damage outside normal resin yellowing.
I get getting blindbox dolls if you like them, but it too pisses me off when people try to be bjd-fag over them. They're a fad. A hundred companies suddenly popped up and started churning them out. And it is absolutely no wonder they are that cheap in comparioson to older actually resin dolls that size.
It's just another chinese overconsoom tactic. Can't buy high quality clothes? Get them for pennies off Shein. Can't buy quality dolls? Here are several hundreds of cheap one. It will fall apart if you don't follow the upkeep, it may fall apart just on it's own, but you've got 20 of them, you can feel like an accomplished person with so many things you own.
Sorry fol dollsperging, I am very passionate about dolls and art and it pisses me the fuck off that the market is just flooded with poor quality uninspired ai-generated slop.

I know fashion dolls have been talked about a lot in these threads, but I have a personal grievance with collections like picrel. It's one thing to own one or two dolls of the character you like, making clothing/accessories for them and taking nice pictures, it's an entirely different thing to own and display so many dolls you can no longer SEE most of them.

>>2215999I have no idea what sells in her corner of the woods but she's terrible at this. There's such a massive range of items that it's going to be impossible to organize the table. Nobody stands at a stall for more than 5 minutes max, if customers can't see what you're selling as they walk along they won't come over to your stall, all those tiny earrings and necklaces will vanish among the clutter, and I dread to think how much cash she's going to need to keep on hand. She could have bought 20 of those ladles, paired them with similarly cheap cooking utensils and tea towels, tied it all together with a ribbon, and sold it for $10. She'd increase her chances of getting sales and she'd get rid of inventory at a much faster rate. If she's been selling for a while she should know this, I don't know why she thinks that mixing shoes, earrings and herb savers will lead to more sales.
Oh, and it's 'ages' until her next flea market, which means she's going to buy yet more tat for her table.

>>2217378it's buying for content creation and clout instead of buying pieces that you actually like and curating your collection. Sort of unrelated though, but I wish the brands would slow down with releases. Maybe focus more on quality instead of pushing out new things constantly. It has gotten to a point though where jfashion is oversaturated. Brands release new pieces weekly, and even if the average wearer were to buy a piece just once every few months, over time it adds up. Couple that with most of what we call "jfashion" being niche even in Japan, and we reach a point where there are more items produced than any enthusiast could ever wear, and really with the loss of DIY spirit from a lot of alternative fashions (western included), it's really just too much stuff, secondhand markets are over-saturated and listings start to just sit there for months to years as enthusiasts start to run out of closet space during the rush to buy the newest releases for social media photos, and it all ends up in a landfill eventually.

>>2217378That's not exclusive to j-fashion girls, that's every fashion focused influencer there is. Posting repeat outfits won't do good in the algorithm. The followers don't want to see that shit, you will literally get comments calling you out on it, most people don't give a fuck if it's encouraging them to hoard in a way. You won't find a single fashion influencer that doesn't have a hoard of clothing. Since we are on the subject of j-fashion, i only know that with lolita people do sell their stuff immediately after receiving it, not even wearing it due to brands having no return policies. So if something doesn't work for you for whatever reason, selling it is the only way to deal with the issue.

This is a completely retarded way to feel your cats. A lot of housecats at this point in genetic makeup cannot even digest "holistic" food that is so heavily marketed as the healthiest possible option.
All this shit with fruits and veg and milk products will never really digest and make them sick now and sicker overtime.
Your cat is better off with just kibble from a reputable mid-range brand (cleans their teeth as well to chew it), fresh water and occasional treat. Sometimes you switch the flavour, but it should be introduced slowly or be the same range of pet products.
Also pet supplements and vitamins are even a bigger scam than human ones. Most pets will never need a supplement, because kibble is formulated to cater to their every need entirely. A lot of supplements and also fish treats can lead to kidney sand and stones.
Honestly, people projecting their needs for having aesthetic meals and making potions with their pet food is keeping me well-payed in my job, lmao, but I am very sorry for their pets.

Comfy socks, deodorant, chapstick, nail kits, tweezers, small hairbrushes that fit in handbags, pocket mirrors, and hand lotion are other small Amazon/Dollar Tree items that your MIL could get. These are care boxes for Christmas, for strangers, who desperately need a pick me up. I agree that face masks are a bad idea because of the potential for allergies but I don't see a problem with including other cheap personal care items. It's always nice to get better quality stuff but I'm not sure what your budget is or how many women you're making care packages for, and I guarantee that any useful items will be appreciated. Many of these women leave home with nothing but the clothes on their backs, you're not pushing unwanted tat on them, you're giving them the stuff they probably had to leave at home.
If you have a bigger budget, definitely get some nice scarves and hats, wallets, slippers, hot water bottles, gloves, and slipper socks as well. Your MIL can have fun hunting for Amazon bargains for these instead of spending her money on dodgy face masks.

I don't get the point of hoarding fragrances like this, especially body spray, everyone thinks that B&BW and Sol de Janeiro sprays are soooper luxe because they're trendy at the moment but they're absolutely not, they're cheap overly sweet and synthetic sprays that nobody can use up because they smell like shit compared to actual perfumes. They go rancid so fast too. I know that perfumes can last for years with proper storage and that some perfumes smell better with time but let's face it, even if that was the case with every fragrance hoarder, they'd still keep buying every new release.

I personally had a problem with buying way too much yarn when I was a beginner who hadn't developed a yarn preference or learned what projects I liked to work on. It got pretty out of hand (for me) but never anywhere close to the pic you posted. I've since managed to crush the urge to buy up cheap or mid yarn, and I've been working it down steadily. My cats have been enjoying all the cat toys we've been playing with and the extra blankets to snuggle, at least!

>>2270779LMAOOO Tom Ford fragrances are shit. They smell nice for the ten seconds they last but really you're paying for marketing. The brand has this as a selling point. They 'want' to market to consumers who are so fabulously wealthy that they can afford to spend hundreds on fragrance without batting an eye. That's why the lasting power is shit and the price is atrocious.
Of course this made the fragrances even more popular. Tom Ford fragrance is marketed heavily at the Klarna crowd, the prices are high for the quality but there are far, far more expensive perfumes out there that are actually marketed towards the super wealthy. They aren't even that unique, you can get excellent dupes for a fraction of the price.
Same for a lot of other 'niche' perfumes like Penhaligons and Byredo. The price has skyrocketed, the sales are shit, and the scents don't last- except for Halfeti, which doesn't leave- and they have quality control issues like leaky bottles on top of it all. So of course everyone laps it up, because price is quality, and in the era of Shein, anything in a real glass bottle is fucking fancy shit that merits the triple digit price tag.
Other perfume houses are jumping in on the trend and pricing their very nice but not that special perfumes at eye watering price points, because they know they can get away with it, like Killian and Acqua di Parma.
Also, the perfumes are probably laid out like that for the photo lol, I doubt they'd have their perfumes hanging out on the bed normally.
TLDR, don't waste your money on Tom Ford, get a dupe.

>>2270826Tom Ford used to be good but it changed horribly in the last decade. Neroli Portofino smells like ass. Soleil Blanc is just sunscreen. Fucking Fabulous? More like Fucking Terrible. The old Cafe Rose was amazing but this new one is awful. You're better off getting "On A Date" by Maison Martin Margiela for a less expensive version of it. I even got to smell that store exclusive London. That was so bad. It smelled just like an ethnic supermarket.
Jo Malone is another that fell so hard. Wood Sage and Sea Salt was such a fresh and safe perfume. I bought a small size after many years of not buying and it was so badly diluted and it didn't smell the same.

>>2263731I've seen so many makeup collections that feature literal draw sets of lipsticks that this one looks practically modest.
This lady in the video - she has so many of this type of video which is decluttering lipsticks this is actually her most modest one yet. Her older video's are hours long as she regulary accumilated over 1000 lipsticks every year.
And I dont know how many of you know Safiya Nygaard, but she had a video of her getting her makeup professionally organised and after having it sorted, expired makeup thrown out and good make up donated, she STILL ended up with an ENTIRE 9 DRAW ALEX UNIT FULL of just lipsticks.

I've purchased dupes and even the good dupes don't have strong projection or lasting power which leads me to believe the aromachemicals used to create those specific fragrances are inherently delicate. People like that her fragrances are delicate, airy and inoffensive and that would be fine if the price tag wasn't so ridiculous.
>>2274154I wouldn't recommend Bath and Bodyworks. The lotions have nice fragrance but the fragrance isn't very stable. Around the 6 month mark the fragrance breaks down and the lotion will smell different. This wouldn't be an issue if they sold more mini lotions but they don't seem to carry those as much anymore. I can't finish one of their regular size lotions in 6 months especially not if I'm rotating it with other fragranced lotions. I would recommend The Body Shop Body Butters instead, the fragrance is much more stable.

i was perplexed as everyone else in this thread when the stanley craze started early this year. i already had a few insulated water bottles courtesy of my nigel who is a consoomer (hoarding tendencies) and was happy to use that but i have a few minor grievances.
1. the top is plastic and a couple of them have broken after i've dropped them. they are still usable just the unscrew top doesn't hang onto the bottle anymore.
2. they dont fit in my car cup holder!!
while theses are minor i am understanding why people like stanleys so much. idk how durable the top is cause it looks plastic but man i wish my bottles would fit in my car. i also wish i had a bottle that had a straw as it'll make it much easier to get my water in. i'm just going to buy some reusable straws instead since i don't want to buy another insulated bottle when i already have perfectly usable ones.
while i don't see myself buying a stanley, i could see myself getting one for really cheap when these consoomers have to liquidate their supply… i wonder how long that'll be…

I don't think vidya consoom gets talked about enough. Men will hoard 100s (or even 1000s) of video games they definitely won't play and then call it a "curated collection".
Picrel is one of a couple pictures attached to this reddit post about a dude coming back from a trip to japan with MULTIPLE suitcases full of shit. Dude just bought up a bunch of stuff based on boxart alone, doesn't know japanese nor does he plan to, and if he does play these games he's just gonna emulate them instead. He said all of this in the various comments on the post saying they hope he at least knows the language. You know this fucker won't play all of them, I spotted otome games in there (the LE for Vitamin specifically) so you know he isn't gonna play em.

Kinda sad how kids don't want to collect from anime for their age group. All they know is consoom all search results on Amazon under "kawaii". They will buy 6 or 7 Super Sonico bootlegs before getting something special of a character they got to like. I guess you can blame creators like Addyharajuku for giving that appearance of an anime fan to impressionable children. All kids want is to consoom the aesthetic of a hiki really fast and end up buying products of things that they would have to defend when they show it off online, like Nekopara tapestries. The childlike wonder of enjoying their first anime and slowly collecting their hobby is gone.

>>2293870She's a massive retard, which doesn't help, but shopping is like eating- you can't live without it. At some point she's going to run out of food, her daughter will outgrow her clothes and shoes, they're going to have a broken item somewhere in their hoarder den that needs to be replaced, and then off she goes to the stores. If she was mentally capable of absorbing the lessons she learnt in therapy, she'd have coping techniques to stop her from overspending. She could do haul videos showing her progress, or point out cute things in store and then put them back before going home. She wouldn't have to nuke her account and go back to being broke. Shopping really is a hell of an addiction, but it's not impossible to wrangle into submission. She could leave all her money and cards at home if she had the burning urge to ogle bags at Marshalls, she'd still get the joy of obsessing over fugly shit but wouldn't be able to pay for it and take it back to her cockroach breeding ground of a room.
But she's a lost cause. She cares more about consooming than she does about her daughter. This idiot knows how damaging her addiction is and her audience calls her out on it, but instead of getting her life together, she'll spout some nonsense about Jesus telling her that all he wants for his birthday is a Hello Kitty tree and matching home decor and immediately fuck off to loot every TJ Maxx in a thousand mile radius.

Bath and body works has been having a lot of holiday sales, right now their candles are discounted and people having been posting hauls of 10+ on reddit. It's insane behavior, how can you even burn through that many candles if it's not lighting them back to back? I'm sure it's not healthy to breathe in 24/7. It's also insane how people name things from memory/abbreviations. They don't even think twice about discussing one of 48 different vanilla scents sold in June of 2014.

>>2302741In general, burning something and breathing it in is considered to not be the healthiest choice for your lungs. There's also some concerns for paraffin wax specifically, but I'm not about to die on the hill that no one should ever burn candles again. I wasn't trying to nitpick for no reason, there is a not-insignificant presence of mothers on the bath and body works subreddit. Pair that with threads of strategically burning candles for hours daily, and it rubbed me the wrong way. I'm sure it's mostly harmless but something feels weird about knowing there's more than one toddler inhaling sugar candy strawberry maple pumpkin mocha crisp 7 days a week.

>>2302697The culture surrounding bath and body works is what's so insane to me. They're all hoarders that don't even use the products there's even people who collect 'vintage' expired products. Tons of stores do that thing where they overprice everything and have a sale every single day but for some reason these women convince themselves these b&bw sales are too good to pass up. Buying 20 products that couldnt be used in 5 years every three weeks because there's yet another 'cant miss' sale. That's not even taking into consideration how the body sprays and lotions are some of the nastiest on the market. Does formula and actual function even matter when they're buying so much stuff they can't even use it?

>>2305198Before social media, weebs used to have modest collections because the goal was more to have things that were sentimental. The weeb/cosplay hobby originally started out as something that was very personal and isolated, hence why it didn't matter if you showed up to a con with a shitty hand-made cosplay. No one set a standard for what was expected because over a decade ago, this stuff was for fans exclusively just to sperg about anything anime-related. Now that it got more popular and became an easy funnel for anyone to jump into, like buying the latest shitty pre-made cosplay and wig so you can sell nudes, the entire cosplay community being a beauty/popularity contest, or needing an entire studio to make stuff in just to be recognized, the degeneracy has rotted the hobby from the core. Most of the gen Z collectors/weebs that got into the hobby in the last few years only know this hobby as collecting as much crap as possible, posting it online for views, rinse and repeat. And the market feeds into them. We've had so many different Miku figures alone this year I don't get how anyone keeps up with it. I cringe when I see the stacks of Ikea bookcases filled with every cheap Miku figure possible. It's just for showing off/competing with other people online, there is 0 authenticity in it anymore.
No. 2305833
>>2305395I think the mental illness aspect of it is severely understated. I loved it in middle school, now in university I know maybe 1-2 people my age who have a body spray or car scent. The vast majority are older women, there's even a thread on the sub asking people their ages and there's just a few 25 and under. Literally all the people were 35+, browsing the comments on the sub also shows a lot are married and/or have kids.
There's a demographic of older women who are addicted to stanley/rae dunn/target/etc that have been brought up in this thread and by commentators. It's clear that relatively inexpensive collectable items are appealing to middle class moms bc they're cheap, cute, fun, and come with a built-in social community that they can relate to and interact with. Shopping addiction maybe, but I think so much of the addiction is loneliness. My personal tinfoil is that there's a desire to relive their youth (which is crazy bc they're not even old).
I randomly stopped in one a few weeks ago for the first time since middle school, and got a few things for $6 a piece thanks to their 24/7/365 sales. Some of the products smelled fine, but there was absolutely nothing that I'd be willing to pay over $6 for. I love perfumes/body care, but I am a broke student and coupon heavily at places like CVS/Walgreens and/or use ebay for basically everything I get. There's so many affordable (esp with coupons) body care brands with scents much more appealing and higher quality. It's strange to see women in the prime place of actually being able to afford dropping $~50-200 on body care and candles choose to get the low-quality garbage that is b&bw. They purchase objectively lower-quality items en masse, collect expired products as you mention, and discuss scents going back to the 2000s. All of those reasons combined is why I personally think b&bw shoppers have a complex about wanting to 'relive their youth,' or at least the early 2000s again. B&bw is so ubiquitously 2000s to me, and every single woman I know, every single influencer and discussion space online has long since moved on. Yes they're still just women with shopping addictions, but their brand of choice is so strange to me.

>>2305395It's the multiples that get me, there's so much FOMO but it's all cheaply made candles with very samey scents that you can get from any dupe seller on Etsy for a fraction of the price.
The scents aren't that great and unique either. There's a 99% chance that you can find an almost identical scent elsewhere. I know that some time ago there were people freaking out about shower gels from I think 5 below that smelt exactly like the B&BW ones and they loved finding a cheap dupe of their expensive soaps. How cucked do you have to be to KNOW that you could waltz into a cheap store with a few dollars to get your B&BW fix, and still go apeshit over sale items that cost more than the identical dupe? It's crazy. It's fucking soap.
I know someone in a previous thread said that people dumpster dive all the time at B&BW to get broken candles, melt them down into wax melts, and sell them for a few dollars a pop on Etsy. It makes way more sense to buy a bunch of these and not have to worry about wasting space hoarding a million candles that have no scent by the time they're burnt.
Also, we need to stop calling their products cheap. They're fucking expensive when you consider how bad the quality is. This shit is carcinogen central, even the diehard fans complain all the time about how the quality has plummeted recently, and somehow they still buy this crap non stop.
>>2305833It feels like these women discuss B&BW products like kids discuss Pokemon. Bragging about their hauls, showing off their rare items, decluttering by swapping or selling, it's all about the social aspect. It's the body care equivalent of junk food. Sure, sometimes people do want to slather themselves in a nostalgic scent, nothing wrong with them buying the lotion they used as kids. But that doesn't give them that feeling of belonging in a community, so they load up their carts with shitty candles and leaky sprays and make weekly haul posts online.

I swear to god when I was in elementary school almost every girl was obsessed with this mascot and bought a shit ton of stationary to trade them with other girls during recess like with pokemon cards. They all did the whole "I won't use this super rare one of a kid Diddl notebook because I want to sell it for a lot of money on ebay when I'm an adult" when we were like 8 years old in the early 2000s. Unlike the ones you listed I never hear about it these days, and iirc it lost popularity when I started middle school but I have no idea if it's because it actually did lose popularity or if it's because at that time kids start to act like they suddenly hate everything they used to like and "only babies like [insert brand]". I keep seeing Miffy collabs when I shop in Hema, sometimes I see Moomins goods because of girls and women liking the characters but absolutely no Diddl goods whatsoever.
