WWF Hasbro custom belts

I agree, it would have been awesome if they made a steel cage set to go with the rings. Would of loved to have had that as a kid. Plus, would have been cool if they made those ring carts that they used at a few of the Mania's as well.

So there's a few things to keep in mind here. Most people aren't looking at these and going "these were hand crafted one by one and hand cast and took hours to paint etc. I get it!" they're looking at something that (not knocking the look) look like they were produced by a machine with 1 color material (black) and some gold paint. AKA- They look like mass produced machine made conveyor belt goods. Most people, then, jump to the conclusion they should be cheap as that is the normal situation for mass produced plastic items.

Now, I'm sure there's more to it, but don't just say "IT'S CUSTOM YOU GUYS R DUM!" (I'm simplifying, you didn't say that, but that's how it feels to someone who might not get your point.) They have that perspective for a reason. 


If these had some explanation behind the production and insight to the costs, more people might not complain about the price. It's not like these look like one-off hand assembled, air brushed masterpieces. They look like 1 piece of black rubber and gold paint. I understand that with low runs of things, especially home made with or without machine assistance, things get pricier. But not everyone gets that. OR even knows what goes into them.

That said, it's the seller/creators duty to explain that better in order to better push their product. There are, of course, many who see it and say "I don't care, these look great, sign me up!" but to get the most sales possible the seller/creator should also try to snare those on the fence due to the perceived high price with an explanation of creation, costs and work. To just assume the consumer will "get it" is as ignorant as the consumer just assuming these will be $4 a pop when they're NOT made in large, mass quantities at some factory sweat shop in Asia. 

TL;DR The creator HAS to assume the consumer knows NOTHING and needs to sell their product not only by looks but with an explanation of manufacturing to help potential consumers understand WHY they would pay more for something of this nature. 

I would like the Undisputed WWE World Championship Title Belt. I think that would look great with the black and gold color scheme.

Well yes, people are cheap. That's not being contested. BUT I think MORE people would be willing to buy these, and your belts (I've seen them, they're nice) if there was more emphasis on the creation. There's ALWAYS going to be that "Never gonna buy it unless it's $X because I'm cheap" customer. Always.


But there's ALWAYS an on the fence group who want more info and if it's valid to them they'll buy. So explaining is part of marketing. No successful company just says "yeah, here's this computer, it's nice right?" No. They need to sell it. Why is it nice? What makes it worth that money? What does this or that mean? Why is my money as a customer going to you? It's more than just "look at it!" That's why there are advertisers. They take that information and doll it up and hook people. Some will ALWAYS be too cheap, and that's just life, but there's ALWAYS that group who can get snared in with some song and dance and an explanation of product.
