>>10082059You realize he's right about car purchases reshaping society analogy though right? Every purchase you make affects everyone else on a micro scale which eventually becomes the macro scale.
If you buy up 6 of some fig at Target to go scalp, someone else shows up and gets disappointed because they have none left. You and enough other people buy an overpriced 350 dollar ghost rider car, Hasbro and other companies see there's a bunch of marks out there that will pay that much, so now instead of paying 100 or 150 for an item like that, its now 350. You pay 34 bucks for a Dark Trooper and soon you'll be paying 40 for the next figure people want. Then 44 for the next.
If there's no point you say no, you price other people out of the market. You don't care about them, though, right? Of course not if you're a cool sociopathic /toy/ poster. Eventually though, unless you're a rich fuck and have no income restraints at all, it'll be you that's priced out of the market. As you price other people out of the market it in turn just creates a smaller market and means you have to shoulder more of the cost. Then when a single Hasbro figure is 90 bucks and you want 30 figures from them for the year, that'll be $2,700 + pulse sub fee + shipping surcharge + tax + tip. Then you'll have to cut back. Or hopefully you'll realize by then a bucky cap isn't worth 90 dollars.
