God damn it. Just found an online listing for an old penny firtune telling machine that is the ecact same one in the Twugjt Zone episode.

@TrunkZ I kinda am too honestly.

@MethDozer collectibles are usually overpriced if the person knows what they have

@TrunkZ Depends on the seller really. Personally I find the people who do know what they have but don't understand how the market works to typically be the worst. Many in that specific bracket feel they are right to ask top shol dollar but ignore that they don't have the access to the die hard collecters and will stand really hard on an upper level price. It doesn't work that way in reality though. They fail to realize that dealers price on them having contacts within the collecter market and are able to find those few top dollar payers who just have to have something and been looking for a specific piece along with the fact that as traders they have a trust factor with their clientel that a piece has been properly inspected and hiw it should be. I run into a lot of these homegamers at flea markets, yard sales, and online qho think they are being ripped off because someone else might possibly might some money off the item for themselves but fact is they are just a homegamers trying to get rid of something they don't want and aren't a dealer/trader. They also fail to relalize kust hiw long you have to sit on an item to get those top collector prices.

@TrunkZ People who know what they are doing and what they have are usually pretty fair just not steal of a deals.

@MethDozer I imagine even someone fair would not turn down an above market offer so you need to have done your research as well.

@TrunkZ oh absolutely, I wouldn't expect them not to. Just sayin' there's this segment who are unrealistic in their ability to sell for what they ask and tend to be the hardest to even talk to.

@MethDozer it's like people who put their house on the market way above market value. Sometimes they hit but usually they have to make adjustments. In any event, asking prices usually are high to allow room for negotiation.

$500 seemed like a great purchase price rather than an asking price
