Precision tuning your collectable pricing model often requires
a crystal ball with a witch looking into it.
But based on casual observation of the marketplace...
Upon the first release of a special edition,
the market is flooded with a bunch of discount mews,
as the seekers of sizes buy a bunch to look for mega's,
and liquidate their closets full of normal sizes.
Later as supply diminishes, the prices start crawling up,
and when you get to the point where you dont see em anymore,
the price spikes dramatically.
I sold quite a few hardboiled for a nominal price increase over retail.
And more recently cleared out the closet of some more at L2500,
including a hardboiled teacup that went for 5K!
Would I have sold em all if they were priced at L1000 each?
Easy.
My remaining supply has been marked up to ludicrous levels,
but when a cat fan comes in,
with a 20 dollar bill from a birthday card from grandma,
sometimes they will blow some cash trying to get the
collectable kitteh they missed the first time around.
