I can remember going to ol fleas and getting pieces in the early 2000's for next to nothing. I remember buying foreign back then and everyone was on the hunt for kenner. Not too many people paid attention to the foreign, so that was usually passed on and sold very cheap compared to kenner counterparts.
I remember when I bought a trilogy carded Boba Fett for between 1100 to 1200. Forget exactly, but those items didn't command to much. I remember when you use to see a Tri General Madine for a couple 1000.
The inflation on everything is crazy. It shows no letting up in the future either. Disney is Marketing the hell out of Star Wars. I mean really a Han Solo movie. "Really"? In my opinion they are destroying the **** out of it. Just My opinion and I know I have veered way off course.
Obviously I blame most of it on the Internet thee inflation that is. Remember networking and stuff like that. It was cool. Now everything is at your finger tips. Maybe Im just old LOL. Metallica!!!!!
I love Star Wars but damn its hard to compete with all these Deep pockets. I mean when something that comes up thats Foreign and Rare the Demand for that item is there man and the price it realizes is sometimes hard to fathom, but who's to say what anything is worth. Now days there is no price guide. You can throw that out the window. Don't ask for advice because you throw that thing up at auction and your almost wrong every time. We have seen record prices on the incline for some time. I mean there is a foreign complete card lili ledy Burgundy Bib on a famous site right now and I can't wait to see what it realizes as I know I cant afford it. LOL.
In a way its sad, but good for business I guess. How long will these sky rocketing prices continue???????
