Late last year, popular Japanese cosplayer “ Enako (えなこ) ” posted an update on Twitter stating that she would never give away personal items to her followers again. Enako cited a post on Twitter revealing that some personal items, such as clothes, that she had given away at a special birthday event in early 2023, were being sold on Mercari for 57,000 yen (about $375).
Enako simply shared the post and wrote: " I will never give you anything personal again in my life ," accompanied by a smiling face. The popular cosplayer added: " Even if the person really needed the money, she could have sold the things for their material value, not their sentimental value. Now, the conditions explicitly prohibit the resale of auctioned products, so I cannot forgive this kind of thing .
This peculiar situation attracted comments from Internet
users in Japan, who were quick to criticize the very existence of
resellers and to report the publication . Eventually, Mercari ended up
removing the product and Enako thanked her followers for their support:
- « Thanks to all of you, the product was removed from the sales list! Thank you. It's sad for me that fans who really support me lose because of a few people, so... I'm planning another new project for next month's birthday event! Please look forward to it ."
And of course, the comments didn't take long to arrive:
- « As
in any field, resellers are a plague that must be eradicated .»
- « This
type of scourge exists everywhere. What kind of person resells a product
even if he is told he can't do it? ».
- « Are
even resellers going to get involved in private events? ».
- « This
will definitely make Enako-chan very upset. She kindly gives away some
personal things and her fans sell them ."
- « The
problem is also on the part of the platforms that allow this type of
product sales without bothering to include a moderation system .»
- « I
think it's time to get people engaged. The resellers are not going to
disappear until we do something about it .
- « Resellers
remain a threat. The fans are right .
- " I'm
so angry now that I realized that I possibly didn't get a ticket to the
birthday event because a scalper crashed the event ."
- « When
these types of people exist, there is no choice but to start limiting
opportunities equally. A shame for those of us who are true Enako fans .
