Welcome to the very first product review. The product being reviewed is the "2014 Inaugural Collectors Coin" from Strange.
Please take the time to read the worthy notes about this item. Now what if I told you that you're being ripped off. Of course you'd reply "duh, thats part of a business. They have to earn money too." What if I came back with a reply similar to "Well how much would you consider good profit?" At this point you're thinking about a number but let me help you out. According to online sources "1% - 3%" is typical but lets just go ahead and jump to conclusions and say Strange is making 15% profit. At 15% profit this coin would cost you, the purchaser, $1.15. Realistically your eyes probably lit up at the cheap price but now here is the bad news. Strange makes 7400% profit off this coin, thats right you pay $75 for a $1 item. So now you're in shock that this item is being marked up so much and that you, the customer, are being taken advantage of as a money pond. You may be asking for proof that this costs $1 and if you keep reading, I can show you.
Okay, so this picture above isn't of the Strange Coin but you get the concept. This coin comes from china, the same place the Strange coin comes from. The cost to make this coin is $1 unless you order a large quantity which Strange has probably done. This place in china will mint brass coins and plate with silver. The disappointing part in this is the fact the customers are stuck with the rediculous pricing.
A more ideal pricing would be $20 on the store and $25/$30 at a concert.
