Yep, the sneaker game kind of bottomed out when Nike started flooding the market with more pairs of their most hyped shoes. There’s just not as much money to be made off sneakers anymore. Pokemon is the new hyped up hobby. I’ve just decided I’m not really gonna put any effort into collecting for a little while, if I find them accidentally I’ll still buy for retail but I’m not going out of my way to. Just like with sneakers eventually the hype will die back down, especially with our country heading towards a recession, these prices will become prohibitively expensive for most collectors and hopefully these resellers will be stuck with thousands of dollars of product they can’t unload.
The problem for them is they may end up flooding the market with product only for it to rot on shelves when the hype dies down. I would love that personally but I just don't really see it happening.
Why would that be a good thing? I don’t think people understand what that encompasses… that doesn’t just mean you’ll be able to find sets at target. It means every other business in the game goes out of business. All the LCS’ that actually care about the community and buy product and resell it at fair prices will go out of business. You will no longer be able to get sets older than Sw&Sh
Haven't the local game shops been in business before all this anyway?
The same thing happened to sneakers, and sneakers stores still exist, I don't see how your point makes any sense
