Yes the sudden appearance of collectors in the gyro realm are annoying. Like I'm glad that they're all seeing the light about how great the discs are but there's some people that are just stupid about hoarding they try to buy every color that's out there so that it's a complete set and they are decimating the stock to artificially increase the value on things like Lizotte Hexs.. when I buy a collector's disc it's often something that I want to throw and I buy two or three and throw at least one in the disc bag, or the yard box more truthfully haha. And a few of my collector discs are some that are new and I just didn't get around to throwing at the time. I meant to but I probably bought too many and just hadn't made it down the pile to them yet
Collectors appearing?
Its a bit more of the opposite if you ask me.
The collector market has crashed big time over the last 2 or 3 years, especially with the influx of simon joining. Absolutely killed the market with people who don't want anything but the cheapest discs. Then if they do collect anything, they are collecting weird crap like you're talking about. Stuff like "I want every lizottle hex color."
I'm over here like. "I got some tesla tesla's for 120 you can buy." And the response is nill.
Then you got the issue now too where people are looking for discs. "I want a PP blah blah in color yada yada"
"I got the exact disc right here for you, 55 dollars shipped."
And they get so angry and scream like childeren. "I'm not paying that, I can buy a brand new disc on amazon for 14 dollars with free shipping."
No, you can't buy this disc on amazon for 14 dollars with free shipping, because its not been made in 6 effing years and you wanted a specific disc that's really uncommon and now you dont wanna pay for it. You think I'm going to "give" it to you? You could wash my balls really good and I'm still not gonna give it to you.
It's not me being a hoarder, it's me recognizing that this disc is hard to get and playing the supply/demand game with you. This is how economies work and markets work. You want something special and unique, you gotta be willing to pay more. Otherwise take your shitty dry cake from the other piles and be happy.
The market is full of cheap skates who dont want to pay for old discs. You want the old stuff cause it fly better, but you dont wanna pay for it. My bad. goodbye. Just getting a bit sick of the tire kickers and people thinking that your rare 100 dollar disc, its okay to offer 30 dollars.
Are you on crack or something?
They made 200 of this disc. Period, thats it. And it was 8 years ago.
no you can't have it for 30 dollars.
Like the tesla tesla's are... 1000 made I think? somewhere around there.
100-150 was the going rate.
Now people not interested unless you wanna sell it for 30.
No, you can't have it for 30.
You cannot even shake my hand for 30, filthy casual! =D
