What I hate and cannot understand is why the Hip's merchandise is so damn expensive!
I guess I can understand why some of the prices are inflated at the shows, because that is how older bands have always done it for some damn reason.
But the prices never seem to go down. Most other bands I follow have sales, specials, deals, etc... (and I am not talking about their $25 off sale on their new extremely over priced hockey jersey)
But the Hip never have sales or drop prices even on the super old merchandise. They are missing out on tons of sales I believe. There is no reason a shirt should be selling online for $30 plus shipping.
Yes you can point out that occasionally they do have "bundle deals" but even those wanna be deals suck. The Hip's shipping alone is horrendous.
An example: around christmas from another band I bought 2 t-shirts one CD and three stickers and with shipping and tax the grand total came to $46.
