Horus would you be willing to donate a clover I caught a restock but was too poor at the time
lol @ people taking Jav's ****post seriously
also lol @ applying actual market logic to something like pixels bought with fake actually worthless money
LOLOLOLOL ROFLMAO KAPPA 4HEAD
L0L LETS JUST FORGET ABOUT GAMES LIKE CS:GO THAT HAVE DIGITAL PATTERNS WORTH THOUSANDS OF U.S. DOLLARS CUS IT'D BE STUPID TO THINK THAT THE REASON PEOPLE WANT COLLECTIBLES IS BECAUSE THEY'RE IN DEMAND. TONKA TRUCKS AND RAGGEDY ANNS ARE THE ONLY THINGS THAT MATTER
try selling tbt to people outside of these forums and see how many will be willing to pay good money for it then come back
try selling a CS:GO skin to someone who doesn't play CS:GO
Try selling training wheels to someone who doesn't bike
Try selling radiator to a toddler
then go to a public school and then you can come back to the internet
try comparing actual market reach
TBT is literally a niche market compared to basically ANYTHING else and acting like it has any actual monetary value is laughable
expect an actual market also has manufacturer/creator competition from outside sources and normally isn't near as horribly skewed for high value goods vs middling/worthless goods as tbt is
tbt really has no manufacturer/creator competition, as its goods are all completely dictated by the staff down to the last detail (user voted collectibles are the closest exception, but the staff still dictate them enough to not count as actual competition). selling/trading competition does exist, but that's not much any different from say a bunch of ebayers all trying to sell the same goods they bought elsewhere. its effect on the actual market would be negligible at best
if tbt is anything, its an example of how to cause a real market to fail
well the staff clearly isnt telling people how much they can charge to sell collectibles or who can do business
put another way, tbt's collectibles market is less of a market and more just a lonely roadside stand
this is literally a copypasta do people actually thinks it's serious...Okay I am going to VENT, it makes me angry to have new collectibles like cake put up and never even know about it. SOME OF US HAVE REAL jobs and families that we have to take care of and then to see lots of people with their sidebars completely covered with the same Items. Some of us also like helping others on here and do NICE things, Greed is not NICE.
A roadside stand that discontinues it's products and has buyers trading their goods to other buyers
Or
A
Market
