The final selling price of each item of the products sold by this site will be disclosed in accordance with the original "Transparent Pricing Policy for VTuber Merchandise (TPPVM)" of this site. The specific rules are as follows:

Original products on this site will be priced at a 40% premium on the material cost and rounded up. For example, a badge with a cost of ¥1.63 will be priced at 1.63×1.4 = 2.282, rounded up to ¥3 + tax + supplier shipping fee

The commissioned products on this site will be priced at the average price of 100 pieces of material cost + commissioned cost, and will be rounded up to the nearest integer. For example, a T-shirt with a material cost of ¥47.1 and a commissioned material cost of ¥1000 will be priced at 47.1 + 1000/100 = 57.1, which is rounded up to ¥58 + tax + Supplier shipping cost as final price

For example, a poster with a material cost of ¥1.97 and a commissioned material cost of ¥2500 will be rounded up to ¥27 + tax + Supplier shipping cost as final price

Under this model, commissioned products will start to make a profit after selling more than 100 copies, and losses before selling 100 copies need to be compensated by the revenue of original products.

The actual situation is that according to the current sales volume, it is basically possible to achieve a single product sales volume of no more than but close to 100, which can achieve a break-even level.

Due to platform restrictions, the prices of all products on this site are converted from US dollars as the base currency. When the exchange rate fluctuates greatly, it will have a certain impact on the final price of the product.

Special discount items are not affected by the above calculation formula
