Well if anyone here needs to make a sale I am in the market for pretty pal accessories. I have a wanted posted up in the wanted topic. As I dont wanna turn my topic into a sale thred.
Very frustrated I can't find a simple pink sand box or wagon or stack toy. And it's so frustrating. It never use to be like this and yes I do belive that the virus has caused alot of price inflation. I was in the market for betty spaghetty dolls before the pandemic hit and got a lot of dolls for very little. Now I go and look at dolls I had already bought they're asking $75 for a single doll that I paid $16 for that doll and 10 others in the same lot.
The pony market is not necessarily this bad but some things I see make me wanna puke. I mean really???
I get people have lost jobs and can't go out and risk their health by thrifting but some people really need to take into consideration what is resell value and what is basically over scalping. For example $55 for a flawed molasses candy cane pony with highlighter Mark's and mismatched head and dread locks. Obviously a none collector selling.
But even some of the pony knowledge people are pushing prices to the max.
I mean the seller can ask whatever they want. That is fine..but you have to wonder if the item is worth asking this much and it not selling. I feel the less I cave the more prices might go down. It's gotta get to a point where it's just no is no.
It might take me years but I refuse to pay over inflation of prices.
That went on to a rant..but no really I can't find thing posted for sale at all.
I am wondering if there will be much of a community in the next 20 years. And every little piece will be so expensive and antique that new collectors will not be able to enjoy what we do they won't be able to obtain hardly a thing just beacuse by that time it will be 60 years old lol!
