>>7306700Get a real job and watch your spending, trying to flip collectables is a suckers game.
>>7306706>Pops are the new Beanie BabiesFor starters Pops are not new to any level, they have been on the market for 9 years, nothing about them is new. Secondly the Beanie Babies compassion is a very brainlet observation. Beanie Babies were sold exclusively to small drug stores and Hallmark, thus it created an artificial scarcity. Funko Pops have been sold everywhere with no limits. Beanie Babies were just small OC named animals, Funko Pops are pop culture icons and what not. Beanie Babies were sold as collectibles like fine china or glass implying they keep value. Funk Pops just sold them as fan collectables never implying they have have value. All the two have in common is you can collect them, really Funko Pop has more in common with the trading card craze of the early 90s.
>The market bubble has finally burst. Never a bubble to start, yes yes there are some dumb boomers than think any babble that's popular now must inflate in price later by the masses never invested in this shit for profit.
>Stores are selling many Pops at below retail price. That's always been a thing, even in 2011 clearances on Pops were never unheard of.
>eBay, Craig’s List and Facebook marketplace are flooded with people dumping their collections.Same with any fandom you'll have that, I see Transformer and pokemon near complete collections get tossed daily online, should we assume those markets are dying from that too?
I don't collect Pops or anything funko but it's weird as fuck to not only seeth over them but keep thinking they are dying when they never leave because the nature of what they are is entrenched in media so as long as a popular show or movie exists Funko Pops will keep making money.
