You’re right it is crazy how fast certain items become really limited & prices for said item goes ⬆️⬆️⬆️. When I was new to eBay I remember seeing sellers have stock of 12 copies sometimes more of a single movie & I would think to myself “oh I got time“ then to go back on the app to see 3 copies left 😲. How did it sell so fast! Sometimes I’m still caught off guard because some titles I will see going for a good price, but I have other titles to grab that is more priority so I’ll put the movie on the back burner to come back a week or two later having trouble finding it for that good price 😒.
I’ve been down that road of being on a roll finding movies you want for a good price so you keep buying even though some of the movies wasn’t initially on your list, but when you discover them going for a good price you can’t pass it up 😅, because you know you will pay more later! Yep wallets get worked out real good under those circumstances not to mention Group Buys. At one point I had my watch list full with items & I had a separate list saved in my shopping cart area 😂. It was bad, I was on a roll getting all the stuff I felt I needed in the collection. I had to cut myself off cold turkey because it was getting out of hand. I was having to much fun winning bids & everything 😆!
$75 does seem a little high for Powerpuff Girls, but the show was popular. Some of my past co-workers who where grown men liked the show, and they was way past the age demographic the show was originally geared toward. My biggest fear whenever I spend money on a title that is overpriced is that the item gets to me & it ends up being damaged. Luckily I haven’t had to deal with that on expensive titles. Unfortunately though I have had my fair share of damaged goods that I paid a good price for. Some eBay sellers really just don’t understand the concept of packing the item well.
I say be proud of what you spent, is it crazy as hell to spend that much for an item, Hell Yeah, but it was something that you wanted & you worked hard to earn the money so spend it how you see fit. As long as you are not neglecting the important stuff. I got a friend who skips paying bills so they can have money to go out & party smh. Manta Lab’s Inglourious Basterds is on my to buy list also. I wasn’t originally sold on the beauty shots, but had a chance to see the set in person. Been kicking myself ever since for not buying it for retail when I had the chance. Now I don’t let beauty Shots completely influence my decision to buy. If it’s a movie I enjoyed & want to own a physical copy of I determined if I’m keeping something after it’s in my hand.
