Who is actually spending this much on old toys? Why are they asking THIS much?

They literally go unbought forever until the seller dies and they end up in a thrift store where either a kid buys it or an ebay seller finds it and it starts all over again

Check sold instead of listed for what people are actually "spending."

Even a lot of savvy sellers don’t truly fully understand that asking price does not mean shit. At all. I am learning this the very hard way as I liquidate my collection for a small fraction of what things are “worth”. This shit needs a fucking acronym at this point. CSEL

This, unironically.
>check sold listings for a item that’s not hot or popular
>more and more often there are no sales whatsoever, at any price no matter how low
An over abundance of product coupled with rising poverty is going to annihilate this market soon. It used to be that you could sell literally anything on there and that time is gone. If you don’t price your shit to move it will NEVER EVER sell now. Most of the stuff I’m trying to get rid of is already worth a small fraction of its value 9 months ago

Thank fuck our economy is shit right now, most of my lowball offers have been getting accepted because the prices were already ridiculously expensive, and now they're a total joke

One rich Japanese businessman bought a sealed copy for 14k and that then becomes the price. Because everyone waits for a second person willing to spend that money, rather than compromise and accept it was a one time thing so now you have anyone with the same figure asking the same money because they think, because they sell online, they'll find SOMEONE willing to pay. As opposed to items that aren't transportable that people will just throw out or accept dirt cheap prices for. Its why a new couch will be thrown out on the street, but a person will list a trading card online for a few hundred.
This is why the retro game market hates casuals who just buy up certain games.

I love any time retards get smacked in the face by reality and realize all those years they sat with unopened toys was for nothing.

Yeah, exactly this. We'll be seeing this listing go up several times more with a very minor price drop overtime, probably thinking it'll sell any day now.

I've been getting better deals on older stuff recently. I think people are starting to realize some of the stuff they are selling is more niche than they thought. However I still see people overpriciing things up to 10x what they should be.

This is just people not understanding how pricing works, and eBay let's people list for whatever price they think they can get, as opposed to what it'd actually sell for.

People trying to sell their entire collection in one single lot are an especially sad case these days. Usually starting out asking thousands over what they’re actually going to get. Lately I’ve seen several people literally pleading and begging for buyers as they slash their prices only to be met with the sound of crickets.

This is all especially true for boxed Super Sentai stuff. For showa era Sentai bots that are CIB, sellers will ask at least $1200 or $1300, meanwhile auctions tell a different story. These fuckers think Sentai otakus are insane enough to drop that much on a single vintage robot

Weebs will pay any price. For the Japanophile there is no consideration or critical thought, only the need to consume Japanese Thing and be seen consuming it.

Frankly it's condition, that shit's older than me and I'm nearly 40, unfortunately that leads people with loose ones to think their beat up one is worth $10 less than the top dollar, nrfb price, but when everything gets restricted to online sales, they get these fairytale values that don't hold up in the real world.

Back 20 years ago, when shit got old, shit got cheap, like all the 80s and 90s video games and consoles. Also fuck Ebay for starting buy-it-now listings that can sit forever and not disclosing "best offer" values, that only protects price manipulation

or you get a Sam Bankman Fried deal where the dude just sells a item to himself over and over until it reaches an insane value, like with Hot Wheels Mario Kart, there's a gold mario that was chase edition of a silver convention exclusive, so it's designed for secondhand abuse or "hype" and this one dude has a listing and "sells" one as soon as the last sold one drops out of search history and the price increases by hundreds of dollars each time, last time I looked it was over $2000 for a $20 con exclusive from a few years ago for a line that barely has any traction at retail

That's the cost of vintage, some people will literally try and gouge any potential buyer as much as they can. This counts for Japanese sellers too, not just in other countries. But then of course you get picrel kind of listings which border on the completely delusional. It's a complete collection so it makes a lot more sense than just one robot, but the shipping tacked on takes the cake.

They're completely serious about it, too! They tacked on the rest of their perceived value of the items because 5000 USD was the buy it now limit, or something.

That is actually insane. I own most of the big ticket items in that collection boxed and I'd never ask that much. The rarest piece I have is a G1 Raiden that's near complete even
