Toy-fare report. Grrr...!

What's is as bad as over priced "rare" old toys is when they have new toys marked "collectors item" at marked up prices...

Yeah, that drives me insane, I have had a seller trying to sell me Macdonald's happy meal toys from like 2005 saying "These are rare collectors item's you can't get them any more because Macdonald's stopped making them".
I'm not that stupid to fall for some thing like that, I think happy meal toys are the most common toys that I see at toy fares and markets.
I know what you mean though about when they sell toys from K-mart that you could get for $10 but they sell it for $20 and say they "are getting harder and harder to come by"

Again it is all their dependance on the buyer being unknowledgable in the product being sild...some "mug" will buy it at that price and if you argue about it being overpriced they'll just tell you to shop elsewhere (if they're polite, if not insert insult here). I'm afraid it's a sellers market where collectables are concerned...they know people want them and they know people will pay for them....that's why trading and selling/buying here or at meets is a much fairer (and nicer) way to do business.
