arabmorgan 1,762 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 As I'm sure a lot of you know, it's pretty standard for fansites to periodically release various types of goods throughout the year, whether it's to fund their 'operations' or just to make money off other fans. I've honestly always wondered what i-fans think of these goods. Do you buy them? If yes/no, why? If yes, what kinds do you buy? (Photobooks, slogans, photocards, stickers, etc.) If no, why? And would you if you could? Personally, I've never seen the point of cheering slogans, and I've never bothered with non-official photocards. But photobooks...that's my weakness right there. Even if they're horribly expensive, they're so damn pretty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UMJI MOODS 11,514 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I don't go on fansites, though I saw some fansite items on EBay once. I had zero interest really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadBadNotGood 11,616 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I would buy it if I could pick and choose what I get. I don't need huge posters or photobooks but I'll take photocards, stickers, keychains etc, tiny things and maybe a calendar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooyoung's Wife 3,713 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 i used to be really into them when i was a young teen, although i've never bought any of them. when it'SYou was still running and released fangoods i'd always want them. now i don't care for them and i'd rather not bother with them either. it's cool but i just find it cringey now, especially when they include things like calendars and cheer slogans... no thnx.

satoori 45,814 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I don't have a problem with it. It's not cheap traveling and taking photos of idols. Also some of them organizing projects and etc. The goods I've seen are great quality. Anywho I don't buy them tho If I lived in Korea, maybe I would lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeongwon 2,631 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I think they are fine. Sometimes I look at the photobooks and cry because they look beautipurr. Never bought one and I only would if I desired to use it as a coffee table book since I would look at the pictures once and never again lol.

SAYAKA 9,964 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 im planning to join a group order for some fansite goods. tbh they look better than back in 2013. like more cute/pretty stuff. i especially am more interested in the fansite slogan goods (which sometimes come with a transparent fan, some photocards, and some other goods). i used to be against buying fansite goods but now that i have money to spend....well lets just say my EXO transparent fans are growing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glitter 178 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 It looks good and I'm always so close to buying it.. then I think about how I could spend that sum of money on a good meal instead so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daria~ 13,886 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I don’t buy them because I have no use for such things but they spend a lot of money chasing idols around from country to country and they need to make that money back somehow so I don’t mind them selling these goods to those who’ll buy them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoonability 4,159 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I mean people love consuming fansite goods like fancams/photos and stuff but it's not like most of the fansite masters can do it for no money at all. Also maybe I'm just an obsessed fan lol but I love content like that for my ultimate fave(s), photocards and pretty items and everything. The photobooks are so so good too.

Rice Baby 578 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 They are creative and beautiful. In a way, its move their economy especially lots of them exported for I fans. Ethically, its breach the artist right over their image. But I'd buy if the shipping cost is not that ourageous Also fan merch done right.

eternal glow 6,196 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I don't buy fansite goods. It's probably because they're too expensive and I just am not interested in them in the first place. I'm not really the type to follow fansites in general actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
