I'm not sure why, but all of my auctions for GI Joe stuff have closed VERY low recently. I can't help but wonder what has caused this. Is it the looming coming of a crappy movie? Is it the termination of the Modern Era line? What?!
This is not just my newer stuff. I have practically given away vintage AFA graded items of late. It is so bad, that I am putting all future planned sales of ARAH on hiatus. Have the majority of fans left the building?

I think its the termination of the Modern Era line, at least for me.

That, the "movie" and the state of the country are all factors. For me its the lackof love for Real GiI JOE stuff and the induction of the "movie" stuff thats killed my intrest.

I tghink that people have flooded the ebay market lately. Also, with the economy where it is people just aren't confortable spending on something that they don't really need.

Also, I think a lot of people have most of the stuff they want now out of what's already been released to date. The only figs I've bought in the last month was two paratroopers and two legion troopers.

I've been away for awhile because my son lost interest back early last winter. He got back into it about a month ago and I'm looking like crazy to find the figures he wants. We stopped looking after wave 9 single figures came out.
When we find the movie figures, I am sure he will want them too. |

I would guess less expendable income. Poor economic times....Ah I dont know. I stopped buying on Evil bay because I'm finding everything I need in trades or online stores with vintage stuff.
