phart010 | 1,708 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) Money is being spent extravagantly on stupid things right now. In the spirit of speculation, collectibles are at an all time high. Video games, Pokémon cards, sports cards, artwork, you name it. Now with non-fungible tokens, people are lavishly buying tweets, digital images, digital audio clips, etc. and they are paying millions in $USD for many of these things. I think too many people are making too much money on crypto and stocks and they don’t know what else to spend it on. Does anyone here have any stupid yet unique items that they would like to put out there just for the heck of it? Who knows, maybe some crypto millionaire will swoop in and buy it. As crazy as it sounds, your item may have better chances of being recognized and possibly being sold at some exorbitant price, like $50k than it would at like $500.

Do it, you never know what could happen. I probably need to watch a video about how to create an NFT. I was thinking if you sell any physical item, you may have a greater chance of selling it if you create an NFT for it, accept cryptocurrency as payment, and transfer the NFT to the new owner as evidence of the sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,953 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I've been posting more to ebay than I normally usually would and it's going better than it did before the whole lockdowns started last year. It has waned some, but with the bucks rolling out there soon double time between more free money and refund funds I imagine it could pick up. I've been making a little side action on top too buying up beat up old 8bit gameboys primarily and doing major rehab/upgrades to sell them and it has worked out fairly well. Oddly in a dry spell, stuffed 4 up a couple weeks back and didn't move, and I wasn't high, just middle ground. Given what I have tied up in them, not pleased about it, but they'll go in time. Also sold a NeoGeo game I wasn't in love with anymore, that turned out pretty nicely given it was a nearly complete kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree at all with what you are saying about covid spiking pricing, what I disagree with is that they will come back down.

LeatherRebel5150 | 1,056 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Other than a handful of duplicate items or not actual games themselves, I don't plan on selling much. I acquired this stuff to keep and maintain a pretty lean "sell" pile as I usually buy individual items that I want on occasion and not lots. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted that is only 5-6 years which is peanuts compared to some 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure eventually it'll hit a peak and might come down a little bit, but I'm not entirely convinced they're ever going to reach "normal" levels again for at least the foreseeable future.

Californication | 1,490 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) I remember people saying the prices wouldn't come down until everything was falling off a cliff in 2018. I think the pandemicic has renewed the interest in video games and even brought new people over. But I think this will erode as people have other places to put their disposable income and feel more comfortable doing other things like travel, etc. Maybe not as low as 2018 was although Nes seems soft imo, but a lot lower than the current prices. I'm looking for a handful of PS1 games and they are listed at double their old prices, but there are next to no sales. That is not going to hold.
