Went to the new anime cafe in Seattle and the merch prices are crazy

I checked out the 'Nexus Point' pop-up cafe downtown last weekend. They had a cool Neon Genesis Evangelion theme, but a single keychain was $35 and a basic t-shirt was $65. It feels like they're really banking on fan hype to justify those numbers. Has anyone found a good spot for official merch that doesn't cost a full day's pay?

Saw a post about that place, the markup on imported goods must be insane. Maybe check out some smaller shops in the International District?

My wallet already hurts just thinking about it. The smaller shops are definitely the move for better prices. I've learned that lesson the expensive way.
