Quoted from Guinnesstime:
Costs are up. Prices are up. Demand is up. Prices up further. That leads to more shortages and more pinflation.
$8500 Royal Rumbles. $20,000 Stern Premiums.
Everything sucks. 2022 sucks.

Happy New Year! Remind me to invite you to my next party.

A couple of thoughts:

If people had the gatekeeper attitude 10 years ago, I wouldn't be here (and neither would many of you).

And the prices are in large part the result of flippers here. If you want to flip something, sell concert tickets or buy stocks. There are plenty of opportunities in both areas to make money. This is a niche hobby and flipping deprives the true fans of getting a dream theme at MSRP because you're only concerned with padding your pocket. Yes, I'm a capitalist...but there are limits to my empathy when it comes to ways to make money.
