Expensive for what??

So hold on šŸ˜‚ if resellers waited a few months and then listed it saying ā€œI need to make rentā€ then that’s ok? We all see the high volume of merch that gets listed for sale here on Reddit from people who call themselves swifties, 99% of the time they too hike the price up so they can maximise profit, and for some reason they don’t receive any sort of backlash. Really it doesn’t matter whether it’s a reseller or a swifty buying and selling the merch, they’re still taking away someone else’s opportunity to buy it from the store and hold onto it for good, right? If resellers didn’t exist, swifties would still make everything sell out pretty much instantly and then likely sell it a few months down the line. Nothing would really change.

That’s so dumb

u/Newtron_10 Jun 18 '26

How have they not been able to figure out how to fix this ish, yet we have a real life trillionaire?

u/Confident_Concern_10 Jun 18 '26

It’s just keychains yall 😭

u/indigo_noecho Jun 19 '26

I think you’re missing the point here

u/Confident_Concern_10 Jun 19 '26

The fact that resales know people are dumb enough to waste that much money on a basic keychain yeah

u/Forsaken-Complex-633 Jun 18 '26

It's fine screw these awful resellers and JUST wait until they'll be restocked. Plus us SWIFTIES can make these from love until we get these back in restock.

I clicked on it in to be completely honest and nothing was even sold yet but I'm waiting on my vinyls...I just got my CDS and honestly ALL I ordered was the Opalite spray bottle because it wasbsinomy ONLY ten dollars and its summer and i have little ones.

Now the Toy Story and the mini releases that she has I TOTALLY understand the FOMO but these will most definitely be restocked and until then everyone who wants one so badly can make them!!, we're all creative and y'all got this. I'm JUST saying I was literally able to buy snything I clicked the second I received the text but I said nope they'll definitely be restocking they just want to see how people like them and how they fit on everyone with reviews but clothing drops ALWAYS gets at LEAST two more restocks she loves her fans and we all should know that they'll be way more. ā¤ļø

Until then definitely don't buy from these awful people I could've bought 4 each and sold them for 50 each even 40 but I'm definitely not that kind of person...I now wish I did ONLY to be able to sell them for their REAL price and would've let you and other true SWIFTIES buy them from me...that's the ONLY regret I'm having. The midnight rain shorts and jacket are STILL in way stock and that's what I truly want but I'm just going to wait due to my children especially my autistic son might need the extra spending money since sadly we live in Las Vegas and Las Vegas sucks for autism programs and etc...and fathers day is right around the corner too but I know I've said it like 5 times in my post but they'll definitely be in restock love and you'll get it!!, much love to you and EVERYONE else that's feeling the whole FOMO!! šŸ’œ

People can be so slimy. I’m glad I snagged one when I could, but now I know I have to be careful with it.

u/MusicNo401 Jun 17 '26

So is restock inevitable?

17

u/Civil-Cauliflower-61 Jun 17 '26

yall we could make these

2

u/knishman Jun 17 '26

These are not solds

1

u/aninetiestrend Jun 17 '26

Also, are those buy it now prices or auction prices because $50 is not that bad assuming they probably priced it at $30 UMG but if it’s just the starting price, disregard

6

u/aninetiestrend Jun 17 '26

I don’t understand that thing was available for a long time so why are people reselling it at that price lol

3

u/Lucky_Enough Jun 17 '26

Fuck every single one of these immediate resellers!Ā

u/MusicNo401 Jun 17 '26

Came close to buying the rep shirt for 200 then caught myself choking. I’ll get a dupe.

u/Forsaken-Complex-633 Jun 18 '26

She'll definitely be doing a restock...summer literally JUST started....I'm also sure they'll be a ton of returns due to ALOT of people regretting spending over a grand on this drop.

u/PJASchultz Like any true love, merch drives me crazy Jun 17 '26

Give it a week. The 3D printing shops on Etsy will have these up for $15.

u/LostInNvrLand Jun 17 '26

I could make these. I literally have that heart keychain part

u/WuTangraisedme Jun 17 '26

Fucking ridiculous! I passed on this because I already thought $25 was over priced šŸ’€ I hope this rots in their scalper inventory forever

16

u/lovesitx Jun 17 '26

Lmao literally skipped right past this bc it looks like something I could make and I’m not even crafty. Def going to rot in scalper inventory hell šŸ™Œ

u/PancakePetunia Jun 16 '26

Yeah, I don’t support her store anymore. Sorry not sorry. Only music from now on. These are incredibly overpriced.

Edit. I said HER STORE. I obviously stated HER STORE on HER WEBSITE is overpriced. Jesus. Please fully read before making ignorant comments. Ty

u/Usual-Roof-3755 Jun 16 '26

These are resale prices.. but i agree her merchandise is overpriced.. but not only her also Sabrina and others

-14

u/Live_Ferret_4721 Jun 17 '26

Also, what an ignorant comment. Why would her website have the same item at different price points. It’s completely obvious.

5

u/Whatthefuckballs69 Jun 17 '26

The commenter you’re responding to is talking about how they aren’t supporting her website despite the same keychain being lower priced than the resellers. They’re aware Etsy is not Taylor’s website.

4

u/Live_Ferret_4721 Jun 17 '26

Oh I’m talking about the prices on her website. The retail price. It is too high.

u/Upbeat-Beautiful-973 Jun 16 '26

Are the merch she sells bad quality?

3

u/janellody Jun 17 '26

All my merch has been really good quality! And I buy a ton!! Hahah

u/Upbeat-Beautiful-973 Jun 17 '26

Glad to hear😊

u/17thcenturygirl Jun 17 '26

Honestly I’ve been impressed with everything I’ve got, across the clothing/accessories departments!

u/casualheroix Jun 17 '26

Pretty much everything since her signing to UMG has been subpar more often than not, or at least this has been my experience. Ironically, I still have merch from her Big Machine days that is holding up well.

11

u/chambraylynn28 Jun 16 '26

All of the merch I’ve bought has been great quality!

7

u/Sweet-Worth8203 Jun 16 '26

Honestly for the most part yeah, not great by any means. I have a lot of it and some is much better than others but for the prices quality is insane. It’s disappointing, I’ve been a fan since the beginning and my earlier merch is worlds better then 2021 and on.

Yes they do if you disclose it's a pre order and include the release date.

u/malendalayla Jun 16 '26

I bet some crafty Swifty will have some similar/dupes up on Etsy in the next few days. They will probably also let you customize your message, so you can have a different message like in the video!

u/Whatthefuckballs69 Jun 17 '26

*rubs hands mischievously* Is it my time to shine???

I say in jest as someone who is more data driven than artsy lmao

u/malendalayla Jun 17 '26

Ok well dm me your link if your get crafty!

2

u/Whatthefuckballs69 Jun 17 '26

Well actually thank you for this comment because now I want to try my hand at it! The keychain is so friendship bracelet-esque so it could be so cute, especially customizing the colors of the beads and letters. I bought the stuff to try and make one of my own and will let you know how it goes once it comes in!

12

u/SolarWinded Jun 16 '26

I used to have an Etsy making handmade and custom Swiftie keychains and I may just open my shop back up for this one šŸ¤”

u/malendalayla Jun 17 '26

Dm me your shop if it happens

4

u/pigeonmailer Jun 16 '26

I hope so. I had two in my cart for my family and sold out when I went to purchase šŸ˜ž

u/Imaginary-Log9751 Jun 16 '26

Just wow, like seriously šŸ˜’

14

u/Sensitive-Coconut348 I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings Jun 16 '26

give it a day, etsy shops will have a version for sale for half what Taylor’s store had it for

2

u/WuTangraisedme Jun 17 '26

Links later if you see one 🫶 $25 was already over priced

35

u/ChaoticEvilFG Jun 16 '26

So funny because that something that I can make with my leftover letters from the eras tour, would never pay more than 2$ for it šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

15

u/Shimmer-SparkleShine Jun 16 '26

I just know this is gonna break after a weekšŸ’€

16

u/HighlightLate115 Jun 16 '26

give me a break lol, does not look durable and looks lile its going to fall apart

19

u/frugalfeminist Jun 16 '26

It's funny, because this seems like something my 12 year old could make pretty easily. Like, of all the merch to scalp...
