QUESTION What in the world is going on with valuations?
How does that process work? Do they use difference accounts to buy their own item, and then cancel the sale? If yes, wouldn't ebay get alerted to too many cancelled sales? Do they keep the sale and eat the 18? percent fees ebay charges? I am asking too many questions!The earlier sales were likely fake/influencer sales.
If a reseller can game the martket by cancelling sales and make hundreds of extra $$ on pin sales. I think they would eat a few 18% charges as the cost of doing business. But truly I have no clue how this would work, I just use my logic checks and critical thinking skills to know that $100 for a HD 'D' that was selling for $12 two months go is suspect.How does that process work?

Not disagreeing. Just amazed there are an influx of new purchasers. This is a bad economy. There are like, five percent of Americans who have money to spend on these collectibles. (I am amazed I spent so much on Niftie Fifties, but I live a boring life.) If the resellers can make it work in this environment, they are quite adept. I guess Disney people are always motivated to find money for Disney needs!driven by an influx of newbies (and maybe not-so-newbies) with FOMO
That's it right there.I guess Disney people are always motivated to find money for Disney needs!
Yep!The 2020 chaser pins are still insane. The initial offerings for the 2024 pins went crazy until the supply outpaced the demand. The 2025 pins are going nuts because the supply chain has been temporarily disrupted.
I'm seeing these at the park, trading tables. I'll admit, not as much recently, as a few months back, or last year. I wasn't having any difficulty trading for them. And they were Authentic.Unbelievable
What's really sad is that a lot of people buy who buy things at these prices don't have the money for collectibles. No pin is worth going into debt for. . . .There are like, five percent of Americans who have money to spend on these collectibles.
. . . I did not know people did that with pins.Part of the problem as to why so many of these listings are unbelievably high is due to a few select collectors who make it their mission to get as many as possible for display purposes.
as much as I used to like neopets, i just cant find it in myself to support scientology ya know?I ended up switching to collect Neopets cards (to go with my collection of Neopets pins), which just had a revival last year! Lovely fun art, nowhere near the amount of toxic interest as Pokémon, & I can buy a full booster box directly from the manufacturer . . . but I'm getting off topic.
Hopefully no one buys pins at these prices, & this year's Hidden Mickeys get a big restock soon - or better yet; multiple frequent restocks.
(Okay, I only know a little about this because I wasn't on the internet a lot at the time, but. . . .) Wasn't it only someone from the old team who was into that? Neopets has been sold - multiple times! - since then, & I haven't heard of any connection between that & Neopets in years.as much as I used to like neopets, i just cant find it in myself to support scientology ya know?

it was a lot worse than that but yes, was sold several times. Now it seems to be a Metaverse property and theyre pushing NFTs? so...better i guess? I just read the wiki for the first time in years and while it says they stopped scientology from being explicitly added to the game it never actually says that those board members were removed entirely. though that is inferred. I enjoy the game, its just a liiiiiittle too weird for me to give them my money(Okay, I only know a little about this because I wasn't on the internet a lot at the time, but. . . .)

There was massive community backlash against the Metaverse attempt, & it ended up completely failing. That also was under a previous owner.it was a lot worse than that but yes, was sold several times. Now it seems to be a Metaverse property and theyre pushing NFTs? so...better i guess?
