1. It looks extremely awesome
You might be thinking that purchasing anime is a bad idea, you need to admit the fact that it would be very amazing to own a thing from all anime you have ever enjoyed.
2. The anime makers get the money
Even though we aren't sure of the amount that the anime creators receive, we are pretty sure that they get something for every sale generated, and this is just like you telling them that thank you. We're not sure if you're aware, but the anime industry is a pretty underpaid and rough job, and even though we don't feel you'll solve the issue completely by purchasing merch, it will surely help in a way even if it's a little bit.
3. It's a form of appreciation from you towards the anime
It is extremely rare for people to buy anime merch without them to have seen even though it's an episode of the anime. They love that show. They don't care if you're a fan of anime or not; they're ready to show the whole world that they are in love with that particular show. For example, if you order a JoJo's adventure poster that has your favorite figurines, you want to show people who enter your room that you love the anime and those characters in particular.
4. Resell at a higher cost
If you are in any place that you're aware that several otakus live, you can buy characters and resell them at a higher cost. Come on, that's some easy and fast way of making some money! If you model a nice figure of Jotaro Kujo from JoJo's bizarre adventure series in front of a fan of the anime, they'll most likely purchase it at that instant. A lot of people have done this, and it actually worked for them.
And that is our couple of reasons individuals purchase anime merch! Again, you need to know that these aren't reasons you SHOULD purchase anime merchandise. We just want to make newbies in the anime world know the reasons people spend a lot of money on hoodies, posters, books, toys, etc.
