[QUOTE="TheJabbaWookie, post: 542651, member: 9217"] Prices are crazy. Star Wars tracker shows that a mint loose 96 run was approx £3.9K just before lockdown, down from £4.5K at peak prices in May 2017. However, the same run is approximately £6.5-7.5K now with prices escalating all the time. There are a few factors for this: - people with greater disposable income as they are unable to go on holiday, go to the pub, restaurants etc - people with more time on their hands as they are on furlough or are away from the prying eyes of their boss so can afford to watch the live auctions and search eBay - people aren’t able to go to toy fairs, echo live, farthest from so are missing buying and have excess cash they would of saved up throughout the year - a new group of people have entered the hobby during lockdown and due to the above three points have excess money and time on their hands, are unaware of market prices, have a want everything now mentality and are willing to spend whatever without researching it and are being taken advantage of by sellers and traders I reckon this is unsustainable in the long term and we will see prices come down eventually. Do I think they’ll come down to pre-lockdown prices? Don’t think so, so we’d better get used to paying £210 for a Warok :lol: :cry: [/QUOTE]
