The market has gone insane!!!!! Like wow . People are going and picking up all they can in a frenzy. The HOF induction increased value of most figures as it i,s and The Warrior has always had a higher fetching price in the 2nd market. But wow everything is going at ccrazy prices... will they stay high? Is it like an oinflation and after a while it will go back down ? I hope so! This is not spam! I want to know what all your thoughts are about this market FRENZY all memorabilia and figures are just climbing drastically !!!! (OWN warrior needs to become mine soon , it looks amaxing)

I don't understand why the death of a retired wrestler would increase the value of his figures (even though it does). It's not like it will prevent new figures from getting made. Signatures are one thing, because he isn't around to sign anything else, but I don't understand the price hike in his figures.

Prices always go up after a death. I remember the Jakks Blue Blazer figures going between $75-$100 just weeks after Owen died. Now you can get one for five bucks

Yeah, this happens every time a wrestler dies it seems. I guess I understand it from an economic perspective, but from a moral perspective it kind of makes me sick. Warrior stuff will go for crazy prices for a few months, then things will settle down again.

It's not just wrestling. It's happens when anyone in the public eye passes on. If it's a musician, their record sales see a short term spike. Same with an actor.

I have CS 1,3,7 and both front and back signed by warrior. Brought them years ago from him. Think I paid about 500 in total back than, no feeling to sell them. Just treasure them a little more.

I am just glad I got the figures I need for now....and I will wait till the craziness goes down....Ebay sellers jump at the chance to raise their prices, and I am sure most of them will hold on to the warriors death for a few years to accommodate their price hike

Now that places have Elites for 19.99, $24.99 isn't sounding so bad for all the extras. Of course now they would be $30 to make up the production cost... |

Signatures are one thing, because he isn't around to sign anything else, but I don't understand the price hike in his figures. Because some people are fickle and when an entertainer (Warrior) dies that person becomes their favorite entertainer and they have to collect as much memorabilia as possible from their "favorite" entertainer. Other people are greedy and know they can charge an arm and a leg for merchandise of the recently deceased and people will give in. Simply put: Supply & Demand. Hell a few weeks ago there was a rumour going around in my town that Cena had died in a car crash & there was mobs of people buying all his merch at Wal-Mart lol. But I agree with you, new figures will still get made and his passing shouldn't affect the prices. |

I have all the warriors I want except legends 6 which is his best figure IMO. I'm not paying $100 plus bucks for one, so the 3 that I own will have to do.

Ya that L6 one is fetching alot right now. There's a few ones that are black and say they are 1 of 15 Mattel samples opening bid 300 bucks. I have no idea if these are legit.

Signatures are one thing, because he isn't around to sign anything else, but I don't understand the price hike in his figures. Because they are fresh in the minds of nostalgic people. They want to own a memory of their hero. Sort of the reason I guess I own 60+ Undertaker figures. Because I knew last Sunday would come someday. |
