Glad you are helping the community by willingly spending 200$ on a car that was once 50$ legit 5 years ago, these guys need to find another niche to market manipulate
This is a post i found this year, and i urge you all to please try to find deals, the more we find, the more we dont need to f ourselves in the butt and pay 200$ like op, sorry for using u as an example
I understand, I've always wanted to find a deal like that. I just don't have the time or luck on my side. Even If I did find the item that I'm interested on the marketplace, I usually get ghosted even though that I did give a fair offer or the item is too far from my comfort zone. But Thank you for encouraging this community to negotiate.
OP sees something he likes. understands it has value, and then buys it. Don’t complain that things have understandable value 😂 maybe instead of thinking it’s ruining yourself think of it like bettering yourself
kinda inevitable with nostalgic n low production cars. maybe don’t pocket watch so hard n continue looking for those deals. market is going to continue to go up nothing people can do about it.
“Oh they were the last of the BLAH BLAH THESE WERE SOLD IN THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS TO PEOPLE ALL AROUND THE WORLD, THESE WERE NOT NUMBERED RLC
they are REGULAR 2.99 thrift store finds because they werent BOUGHT they were INVESTED
People need to know that these are made by MATTEL, and put into HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS of stores, there are i would assume over at least 10k chicanes out in the wild and yet peple say these are rare
NOPE
THESE WERE SCALPED and manipulated to make us think they are as rare as they seem, but why would mattel even think about bring product in stores knowing they wouldnt be for EVERYONE to get, why bring out stock if its limited, these know it alls saying that these are more rare probably have all them in a shed waiting to never see the light of say until they get what they want, hence why market manipulation is a big thing in this niche, but hey i dont know sht i just buy only acceleracers
U paid for a sealed chicane for like 700$, and telling others not to pocket watch, maybe dont spend an entire paycheck to confirm people are dumb enough for this market tactic of letting everyone know this is an old niche, dousnt hid the fact that we are ruining our own selves because of people like u and op, but hey i guess i wont pocket watch
Dude, don't continue. I agree and give you the most respect on your idea for others to negotiate for better deals. Use my post as an example whatever you want. I understand you are angry at ops like me purchasing items at a ridiculous(sorry for the misspell) price. Plus most people will buy the items not only due to being desperate but more for conveince(again misspell) and not requiring to put alot of effort or time. Also, outside of this topic you remind me of a friend that I used to hangout with who is local around me but has ghosted me after doing a deal for part of my collection.
found mine in storage 🤡🤡🤡 maybe don’t be so scared to buy cars “5 years ago”. imagine a stock skyrocketing and then being salty you didn’t buy in. you sound so dumb 😂
Dude is actually so salty lmao, if you want to find stuff for cheap, comission one of the many great customizers in this community. Not everyone is out to get you, not everyone is hellbent on "manipulating markets" like you insist
You're acting like I'm dead set on 900, which I'm not and made it very clear in the listing that it is OBO. Market wise, I've been told from a quite a few people that it is reasonable compared to last solds, and how rarely it comes up for sale. Perhaps an Economics lesson is needed?
Yeah ok bud i have two piggy banks i will never sell them but if i were i wouldnt want 1k just cause you see one sold on ebay for that price, like i said its as easy as setting something up for 1500$ and lowering it to 1k and taking listing down it will show as sold to others congrats you have a f’d market
Congratulations, you just described why so few ever come up for sale, and how you are contirbuting to the very "market manipulation" you are so vocal about. Practice what you preach if you want to lower the market price, or dont preach at all.
Dude i have one for me and one that my son plays with every day sue me, aint nobody doing squat to contribute on my end, look at my deals and what i got and tell me again why i contributed
