I know her! c:

Why not go for it then? You'll have a lot of competition though, most people I know that cosplay, if they do buy instead of make everything themselves, they buy cheap things off Chinese make etc

There are definitely people with an eye/knowledge of what real quality is, and what its worth c;

Usually the people who are serious about cosplaying will be more willing to spend what they know its worth to have a good cosplay.

i'd go on saturday too, the people i know that do go, go on saturday :'D

You do get the best deals on merch on Sunday though, when some dealers do a lil discount cause the con is nearly done c':

@Grey: I always see it as something to save up for! I do need to be able to convince myself that 'yes I really do need this and will wear/use it often' haha

I've gone both days before.

A lot of the time the discounts are because the stall holders just don't want to pack up as much merch XD

And tbh a lot of the time they still have discounts to their usual pricing anyway, like for those that have online stores.

I've had a few occassions where I'd spot something I like on Saturday, but decided to wait till Sunday thinking 'ok if its still there tomorrow I'll get it' and then end up with 5-10€ discounts on Sunday cause I've waited long enough :'P

Its a risk ofc cause sometimes they're snatched up before I decide but last time I had a small loot list and checked the prices online for the same products when I got home. I got a cheaper price than online for 9/10 items c:

Best thing is ofc to do your research, esp if you know you're going to be looking for a specific kind of merch and such

I try to though it's hard to get anime merch here except online. Though amiami is the best site for me to go buy anime figures from.

I have one or two sites where I keep track of the latest releases of merch (Tranformers models and figurines) and so when I go to a con I usually have a baseline of prices in my mind. I'll know when something is ridiculously marked up.

Sadly cons here usually offer all the same figures, or just not ones I'm hyped about.

I like to get more fanmade stuff at cons anyhow, I love fanart and fanmade merch. At MCM 70% of my budget will be going to the artist alley cause there'll be actual Transformers artists as guests so I'll be raiding their tables for prints and commissions c':
