I think people would try to make as much as they could during this time not less so it makes sense the prices are higher. Just like they were/doing with masks/TP/hand sanitizers/etc I figure with how many people are out of a job, maybe some people are desperate for money. Maybe some. I’m selling a bit now because I’ve been going thru stuff and making space. It’s not a need for money

Yeah everyone's at a different point in their life. Just hoping everyone stays safe and makes it out well. Money can come and go...

It is what it is. No one is making you spend over market value for figures. I'm to the point that I'll pre-order from Ringside if I really want it, otherwise I'm ok fig hunting at my local spots or going to the classifieds on here.
People are hurting for money right now, so I have no problems with it.

Secondary market prices have been moving up steadily for the past 1-2 years. There are probably a few factors. But the decrease in Legends and adult collector oriented figures, a (previously) strong economy, and retail being a complete ghost town probably has a lot to do with it. But I'm a little surprised that it's continued.
Then again, my wife flips clothes on the side, and her sales have been stronger than ever. I think a lot of folks with idle time and stimulus checks has some people acting like they're playing with house money.

New stuff isnt really hitting. Local stores have either had and sold the newest wave available or are stuck sitting on 6 brie bella elites and arent getting anything new this year.
Now is the time to price gouge people on older stuff, because less money is being spent on new stuff.

I guess with most people sitting at home, there's more demand to purchase anything that keeps people busy? Assuming all this of course very accurate! I have so many watchers on individual figures. Hell, just recently sold my Lego Castle minifigures total of 30 minis( ![:'(](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/cry.gif) really did not want to sell, but want money to buy figures) had over 90 watchers. someone had the nerve to offer me 20$ for all of it. The auction ended at 94$.

eBay is going up but lately on classifieds here and on Facebook prices and deals have been more reasonable than usual.

I was going to make a thread asking questions like this.
Not to sound like I am bragging, but I have some current Elites sitting on my shelf that seem to be going for huge dollar today. The Buddy Murphy Elite with red pants is going for $90 from Amazon itself!!! The Target Exclusive Elite Ricochet is going for $70.
Is this all because of the pandemic? That once stock gets rolling and people shopping, prices will come down?
But being honest, if I can sell and make 3,4,5x my purchase price, Hell Yeah!!!

If you look you can find $400 Big Show figures. The Target Network Spotlight figures with the exception of Hardy have been going somewhat high since they came out seemingly.

If your willing to pay their prices then it's the community that helps create the problem.

Yeah, I noticed too. I thought I'd use this downtime to catch up on a few of the missing pieces to my collection. Turns out the prices are way more than I expected.

Some figures were pricey already, but it's crazy how expensive some current wrestlers from the last 10 series are. Especially the exclusive stuff or the first in the line/hot figures. Very probably due to the spotty distribution (Dunne and Black are two that come to mind for sure. Not to mention Ohno)

I didn't have any WWE figures listed on ebay, but I pulled all my listings about a month ago because I didn't want to make runs to the Post Office or Walgreens (I was using them as a FedEx drop point). In theory that would make some figures scarcer if other eBay sellers also pulled their listings.
