Guide of suggested median prices for collectibles

[Lassy]

I really feel like the drop in collectibles prices has come outta nowhere. I don't understand why they have. I really feel like the pokeball is worth way more than 11k (we dunno if it is gonna come back), the feathers worth more that 7, 8, 9K (we dunno if the feathers are even coming back, either), and the yellow house shouldn't drop because 3 were sold.

Also, thanks for the jab, spamari. I gave away 6 of the new collectibles already, thanks.

Dunno. Nobody is buying your pokeball for 12k, so if it is worth way more, why isn't it sold yet?
People simply don't have the TBTs. They want it, but can't afford it.
And yellow house, the ex-price was ~ 15 k, I re-adjusted it to 14k-15k . And you know Skyfall sold her yellow house around 13 k a week or two weeks ago I believe. I am just adapting it to what people sell/buy it.

This is mostly because of the inflation of tbt bells and not many people are "rich" in a sense.

 

[Lassy]

I agree.
I was lucky enough to be sold a peach for the shop price (159 bells) by someone who accidentally bought 2 last night when I missed the restocks and they saw I was looking for one for ages.
There are still lots of generous and kind people out there.

Something is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay.
That's why this post won't get stickied.

Also, I dunno what you mean by that last comment, but ok lol

This guide is for people who want to make a profit. The person who gave it to you did it by pure kindness, not for profit.

Exactly.
Like I said, something is only worth what someone is willing to pay.

If the teal and dark blue letters where worth 1.2k, I'd of bought one by now lol

But people follow this guide like it's the bloody bible, and it's annoying as hell. I like having a price point, but if I go over as a seller I get ****ch that it's too expensive. It's annoying and frustrating. People don't understand it's a guide and I end up getting ripped off, or not having customers because I didn't follow the holy word of lassy's guide.

That's my auction you griped about. I have shared.

Yeah, only like 30 people have more than 10 k. And many of those people already have those collectibles. For instance I wouldn't buy the pokeball even if I have the funds because I already own it. And I am not interested in owning a second one.

 

[Danielkang2]

Lassy and Callaway is right in some sense. But there will be side effects if there was a guide and even if there is a guide. It's a dilemma.

I sold a Pokeball for 15k a week or so ago.

Just because no one is buying at the higher prices doesn't mean they are not willing to pay it. They just need to find a way to earn the TBT to pay it.

Well what can you do. You can't please everyone.

Well with the current rates it would take a loooong time.

 

[Danielkang2]

In my opinion, there is just WAY too little way to earn tbt. It's either animal crossing, catching a restock, reselling or just be plain lucky and win giveaways. 0.o If this was fixed, tbt would have a much better economy and it would be more better.

I don't have animal crossing so I'm very limited in my ways of earning tbt. ><

i have to say this guide also somewhat affects the prices. i remember trying to sell some collectibles for a little higher than what this guide suggested and basically all the replies were:

"you're selling for too much, Lassy's guide said its blah blah tbt"

its very hard to sell higher than what this guide suggest bc so many people follow this guides pricing to the penny.

The guide is just here to avoid people getting ripped off. Imagine someone bought the beach collectible for 3 k via an offer through PM. They check this guide just to have an idea before doing a deal like that. If they see that it is a high price, they decide to start a thread for instance asking to buy it for 1 k. Or whatever.

I've made this thread because previously, people often didn't know the market price, you can see plenty of people asking "oh how much is this Pokemon worth". The guide is here just to GUIDE people.

This thread is great as a timeline, with details and shop values of each collectible.
But the trending prices are marked up and the only people benefiting from it are the people who already have hundreds of TBT and collectibles.
Not to mention the people telling you to adjust your prices tend to be the people who are selling those very collectibles lol.

You've done a great job (I'm a person who loves lists so xD ), but it's making it difficult for people who do want to grab a bargain, being able to...

Indeed, but not only does it "limit" the profit that can be made (as someone said earlier), it also "limits" the availability of a bargain (as I said earlier).

I'm not criticising your efforts; a part from the bumping, it's a good thread and you've worked hard.
The prices are just bias and fixing the tolerance of values in the market place.

Took her 5 days.

 

[Danielkang2]

There should be more ways of earning tbt implemented. It's like this. It's hard to earn money and it's hard to get the goods. If this was a real economy, everyone would starve to death.

Yeah I understand
It's just that the guide can't please everyone. ):
It has it's good aspects and bad aspects.

I didn't "grip" or "jab"... I was just clarifying the current TBT marketplace value for someone who asked our thoughts on the value of the summer collectibles. I used that price to highlight they're already going for more.

I was speaking generically about sharing collectibles; not just you lol.

The beach collectibles will be worth way more in a year or so

 

[Danielkang2]

Lassy could you do me a favor and on the first page of this thread write These are NOT concrete prices. It is completely fine to buy a little higher or buy a little lower. This is just the average.

 

[Lassy]

Yeah they will, since many users will go inactive :3
Just like the weird doll.

 

[Danielkang2]

It won't help a lot but at least a little.

 

[Sanaki]

Do you have any idea how many of them were sold?
