Guide of suggested median prices for collectibles

[Skyfall]

Yes, i agree with what you guys are saying. And sholee, you are right, ryan's sale is def not the norm, I think. He needed funds right away to buy at the restock.

But as I was driving my toddler to his haircut, i was thinking about it. If a collectible is on the market for a while, and it fails to sell at x price, that IS data.

For ex, if a house lists at $10 million, and is available for sale for many weeks, and it fails to sell at $10 million, the market price or value of that house, at that moment, is NOT $10 million. Any real estate agent would tell you that. Now, what is the real value? Thats debatable, but it is somewhere south of ten mil.

So yes, I agree, the value of the so called common feathers has dropped. There are at least 3 sellers who have been advertising for a while now, and while there is interest, no sale at the current prices. So thats data right there.

Yes exactly, that's why I am like dropping by 1 k each of the feather each week. If for instance a user who is still selling those feathers still has nobody offer them anything, I will have to drop the price once again.
You used an excellent example here!

*Waits for Lassy to sell them for 1k each*

it'll still be up to the seller, whether or not they want to sell for 1,000
but if it were me and prices dropped that low, I'd just keep it.

Absolutely right! Which, by the way, is exactly what happened at the last housing slump. People who bought the house for 10 mil had put 10 mil into it. They werent willing to sell for less then that, so they pulled it off the market. So when i had lunch those who do real estate speculating, for years, thats all i heard... Theres no inventory out there. No one is selling. Everyone is holding. Etc. etc.

Now, the people who had streched and bought lots of real estate HAD to sell. Because unlike tbt, there is a mortgage to carry and you cant keep carrying mortgages on like 5 houses. So whatever did come on the market started coming out way cheaper.

If I had to take a guess, the beach collectibles will go the way of cherries. You dont need 20 cherries. And at some point, everyone who wants just 1 ice cream swirl will have gotten it through a restock or on the market. And then there will be an excess. Then the prices will drop... . Just a guess, who knows, though.

So basically what you're saying is that I have wasted practically all my TBT on something that won't even sell after they are out of the shop. People think these prices are set in stone, but they are not. The first person selling an ice cream and popsicle sold it for 400 TBT so that is why Lassy decided to put 400 TBT down even though they are going for more than that now.

I think they are worth at least 500 TBT, possibly more.

But as more people start getting the collectibles, there will be less demand for them and the price will plummet unless you plan to hold onto them for longer and see if the price increases in the future when they're more rare.

you legit bought 10 and then tell me i didn't need to buy more than 2 popsicles/ice creams

lol

Just give it time if you want to sell them. In time people go inactive and a lot of those collectibles won't even be available.

 

[Snype]

Yes but I try to sell them now but they aren't going at all.

I just don't know what to do, quite annoyed with this.

 

[Sholee]

hm... why is everyone selling their collectibles all of the sudden?

definitely a buyers market right now

 

[LyraVale]

I know, late to the party (discusson) here but just wanted to chime in, I think Lassy is doing a great job reflecting market prices. In fact, as a recent seller of some letters, its a bit generous. I did not hit guide prices on most letters. The market just didnt bear them. Because of the recent influx of letters, there werent even many buyers interested.

I think it would help the guide if you people who are interested in keeping the guide up, report back. If you were able to sell the pokeball at 15,000, thats the last sale and thats the current market. If ryan could not get a buyer for his blue feather after weeks of bumping, but was able to sell at 2,500 when he massively dropped, then thats the market price right now. The last yellow letter sold, by me, at around 13,000. I got 1 interested buyer. One! I did not recoup much of what i paid for it.... Lassy had the choco cakes priced at 2,500 for a long time, until someone reported back and said, hey, they are going for 3,500/4,000 now.

So, if you disagree with her pricing, say so. But guys, the reason cant be, well I think its more valuable then that. You got to have some data. Like you recently noticed a trend of series of sales, or you recently were able to sell something for x tbts.

Having done a bunch of sales recently, i genuinely believe people will buy at what the market will bear, regardless of what this guide says.

And if you, as the seller, dont like the offers you are getting, you have two choices. Keep holding or sell lower. You dont have to accept an offer if you dont want to. But you might go though what i did, which is you are holding that yellow letter, and besides getting a few good luck bumps, no one even approaches you with an offer.

I feel like everyone should read what you said, so I'm quoting you to bump it. We should all be giving feedback.

And lol at the new title of the thread. XD Call it what you want, it's become the GUIDE! lol

I agree with this. Well said.
I think what was happening at one point was a guide said Collectible A was valued at 2k TBT, then a seller would advertise said Collectible at 3K and then tell Lassy that the going rate is 3K; Lassy would then bump the price in her guide, when a sale hadn't even been made.
Therefore the prices have increased over here say, not data or fact, which only leads to less people being interested in the Collectible because they can't afford it...

It's a good idea to constantly report recent sales instead of just bumping a thread.
It keeps the thread alive and intuitive without the risk of mod locking/closing it.

Hey random question (because I think the guys who bump this thread would know). I am hearing that the total release for the summer collectibles will be 500? Is that true? Is the source of that a mod/admin or just speculation? Thx for any info.

I'm not sure, but it was initially said in the Direct thread that there was 150 items in the shop when the post went live with a further 350 to follow, totalling 500 items of each.

Stock Information: 150 of each collectible is currently available in the Shop right now to start. Another 350 will be released throughout the next week in batches. JK, restocked another 150 right now. After the week ends, the pair of collectibles will be taken out of the Shop and put in the Disney Vault until further notice.

But then they immediately restocked another 150, then a further 50... So it would seem that a restock of 50 will follow each day until the end of the week to total 500.

I agree with all that was said above.

And a big thanks to Lassy, for doing this guide!

 

[spamurai]

I know it's a lot of work, but are all the collectibles going to be put on here (even if it's just reference purposes), like the cups, golden egg and the halloween items from Jack?
It would be cool to see them on here.

 

[InfinityFlames]

I honestly think the summer collectibles will go up throughout the year. May even hit the k's idk.

Let's look at numbers

- 317 Sold - Sells at 200 TBT

- 392 Sold - Sells at 150 TBT

Now the beach collectibles will have 1000 (together) sold by the end of this week. I'm sure the prices will drop with how much of them are out there.

 

[Flyffel]

The prices that beach collectibles are going for atm are ridiculous already compared to others and dropping them is the only good/fair thing to do. Current "suggested" prices hurt every member who cares even a little bit, they encourage hoarders and so the current prices should be boycotted. I suggest 200 for the popsicle and 250 for the swirl.
I'm not saying this because I'm jealous, I have several of both too because otherwise other hoarders would just nab them instead.

Yeah, I also think so too. Remember when cherries would sell crazy high? Now its around 150 as you say. Eggs too have come down.

Oh, i was able to obtain the 4 yoshi eggs pretty easily at 800-900 tbt. I still think around 1000 is fair as there is always wiggle room, but you know, for reference, just want to report back.
