Here's my running theory. . .
There's a lot of collectors out that are pretty static about which lines they collect. I've met quite a few.
- They're either in and out of a particular brand; never bothering to follow the boards or the trends.
- They're 100% N00Bs just starting out; so naive they'll fall for the hype.
- Or, they stick with a line, but they often get derailed and miss the news about how rare a particular item truly is.
These are the unseen rank and file that online retailers love the most, and they're the ones that pay the seller's rent. To them, these are "the suckers born every minute."
I was one once. You wouldn't believe a few of the items I bought back when I was coming into this. :rolleyes:
