Am I making this up, or is GI Joe collecting, in terms of buying/selling/trading really died down in the last twelve months? This last year there's just not been much going on on this board or with collecting in general. I think I've sold GI Joe things twice in the last almost year. How about you?

Also, the newest available stuff you have for sale is from 2005. if the majority of hiss tankers are like me ( and I think they are ) they are looking for primarily 2009 or newer. Just a guess ?????

Also lack of new products to reinvigorate collectors doesn't help.

Shit look at my feedback ive bought and sold traded whatever with over a dozen tankers since the start of the year and at least that many last year if not more . Hell 2 within the last week and a half alone , code red shockwave and python puckman .
I hook people up when they buy off me especially when they are quick to finish the transaction i dont try to gouge people either when they are taking my stuff . Ive had great luck getting rid of stuff and acquiring it as well . Last edited by 280-CUSTOMS; 05-01-2015 at 10:59 AM.. |

I've found plenty of stand up guys here in this forum, including 280-customs.
I kinda feel the same way sometimes but it really depends on what you're looking for. I don't see as many sellers selling vintage stuff compared to the ME stuff these days, as opposed to last year and before...

GI Joe collecting has been so dead in the last 12 months. I feel good about getting out when I did a few years back, because fortunately I was able to sell most of my stuff between 8 years ago and 3 years ago.
I know my topic title isn't sexy, but I still obviously have a few good things remaining. I feel like I'd practically give it away at this point to the best offers. I have maybe only about $1000 worth of joes remaining at this point. You're right, this has been a great community and a good board!

This is in no ways meant to be a knock towards you, PP4S, but some of folks here are just tired of going in to the B/S/T area to find eBay prices. Some folks think they can ask the same price as eBay here and avoid fees....when truth be told, if "you're" going to ask eBay prices, then I'll just shop on eBay.
Now, as already noted, this isn't a knock on your or anyone in particular. Our BST area is chock full of great people selling great merchandise. |

It does seem there has been less traffic in the last 12 months or so. Without a significant line at retail its not surprising. But there are still alot of regular tankers around to do business with. Between 2-4 months ago i purchased and traded for alot of my needs.

I agree with major as well im not knocking or any disrespect but a lot of people here are high as hell on their prices and shipping to boot. That said i usually have people make me an offer that way im not controlling every aspect of it and they usually appreciate it like i do when people do it for me . And how can you tell if its dead or not ??
