I see a lot of these sellers trying to get ridiculous prices for Joe stuff and the market isn't there for it anymore..
I personally am dumping stuff now. I have learned that things ten to drop even more over time. Had a lot of SW stuff that was fetching $$$ and fell drastically and isn't worth crap now. Sold a compete Flagg for $400 to a friend so I wouldn't have to bother paying ebay fees and having to ship it. I sold my unused Flagg for $1200 last year. Back in 2010 I had originally sold it for $2500 but they guy was a shady buyer so ebay told me I should cancel the auction with him as they had view his emails.. So in 2 year time it dropped by half and now is about the same price sometimes even lower!
This is the exact reason I only buy what I like and take my toys out of the package. The collectibles market isn't what is once was and I'd rather enjoy my toys. I no longer see them as an investment but rather a means of reconnecting with some of the better parts of my childhood.
The same holds true for my comic collection. Unless it's a silver age or key appearance, they're worthless. Now I read them, bag them, box them and will eventually sell them off to a comic shop for pennies on the dollar.
