For $375 they only thing they did was modify the cut and insert their branding. Must be a nice income stream

You can't say this in general. I sell official Aussaat t-shirts at 18 Euro, which I think is a fair price as I pay the grafic, the manufacturing, send free shirts to the artist(s),...

What about this for all you fashionistas out there? If you've got some spare money just lying around doing nothing, you could do no better than purchase a TG Parka for 690 euro or Cargo Pants / Shirts only 520 euro. Better than spending it on food or rent.

I'm done with merch... A, it's usually crazy expensive (even the cheap stuff adds S+H), and B, I no longer care to advertise what I listen to... But to each their own.

I bought a hat from Trogotronic's myspreadshop and I'll be back for more in October. Really normal pricing on what I've paid for other merchandise. Digital print not diy silkscreen. The hat is stiff as quality hats should be. I'm looking forward to a hoodie and another hat hopefully. Seems like they make them as they are purchased wise choice overall. I don't think there's anything absurd about the pricing. The Logo is well on there.

I think $20-25 for hats, shirts $25-30 and hoodies for $40-60 range is more than acceptable. Whether it's limited or not. If you want more I think it should be something other than gilden or champion for the canvas. That's my .02¢

I will go the extra mile for things I'm  feverish about it just needs to be what I'd hope.

Would buy band merch if they would be printed on high quality merino wool or Thor Steinar shirts, since they are comfy as fuck and I don't care for all those cheap Gildan/FotL/B&C pajeet/china productions, those are ruined after the fifth wash, anymore.
As long as this isn't the case, I prefer to wear Gucci and Thor Steinar clothing.
