Update on Convention Prices for Merch + Commissions
10 months ago
General
Hey, before I start posting art I did over the past 2 weeks onto here I need to come back and apologize for a past announcement I made.
I need to apologize because originally I blindly assumed that I could keep the prices at my con tables the same, but with the new tariffs in place that is now very much NOT the case. I did some number crunching last night, and it looks like these will now be my new prices going into MFM 2025 and beyond:
STICKERS: $5 each, or 3 for $10 (was $3 each, 2 for $5)
GRAYSCALE COMMISSIONS: $30 for half-body, $50 for full-body (was $20/$40)
FULL-COLOR COMMISSIONS: $55 for half-body, $80 for full-body (was $50/$75)
ON-SITE BADGES: $90 (was $65)
ADDITIONALLY, starting at MFM this year I will be completing on-site badges and delivering them AFTER the convention from here on out (the increase to $90 is to cover shipping costs). The reason behind this is because last year, I had a dangerously close call with my laminator eating up a badge I did on Saturday that almost made me completely redo the badge, and I can't risk that happening again in what is already such a high-stress environment for me. By waiting to laminate the badges until I get home, I'll be giving myself extra time to watch the laminator more carefully AND it'll give me the option to scan + make photocopies just in case the lamination process DOES eat up another badge.
Also, since my stock of Pippi pins is very low and I have no way to order more since Paradox Pins went out of business last July, I will NOT be offering those pins at my table again this year. There will be an Etsy listing later this month for the B and C-grade pins, and the A-grade pins are now only available through pin trades.
Thank you for understanding during these troublesome times; let's hope that in 4 years time this all settles down and I can lower my prices back to where they originally were! >_<
