Quoted from RC_like_the_cola:If I'm not mistaken, if your deadpool you had on order was made this year, it would only incur a $200 price increase to cover the insider connected platform. After the new year, they get the new Godzilla rate.
Love calling it the GODZILLA RATE.
What I see happening is the hobby going downhill. Normal ppl with low amounts/no expendable income will effectively be forced out. ALL prices will (continue to) rise, not just NIB. This makes it damn near impossible for the normal hobbyist to purchase their own.
Then the operators see this and are very skeptical, or out altogether, simply bc the return is not there on NIB with problems, maintenance, etc.
Sure the 1%ers will continue to purchase and brag and celebrate. The 99% will use our quarters on location at games that cost too much and then can't be maintained so then we quit playing them and there goes the hobby.
Perhaps that's exactly what it will take for this BS pricing (used and nib) to hit a recession....
