I’ve had an epiphany!
“…OUR badges…”
“…rightfully belong to OUR organizations…”
“…the GLO that the badge BELONGS to…”
All along I’ve been thinking to myself, “These are educated people. Surely they’ve taken ECON101. Surely they recognize that if supply is constant, every single bid contributes a small part to inflation. But still they want to argue that the laws of supply and demand that have remained unchanged since the dawn of human history have somehow magically been suspended”.
I was perplexed. Then it hit me: YOU DON’T CARE WHY PRICES ARE GOING UP!
Oh sure, that’s what you’re complaining about. And that’s what we’ve been arguing about for 2 weeks. But in the end, this has nothing at all to do with prices. You still haven’t gotten past the emotional MINE MINE MINE response!
Very interesting indeed. I’ll stop arguing the point then. But I’ll leave you with one more thing…
You keep saying that collectors are winning all of these auctions. Now, aside from maybe one person who we’ve all seen bidding outrageous amounts on NPC pins, the average collector really is not any more wealthy than any of the rest of you. We have the same type of jobs, the same salaries, the same utility bills and student loans. So if we all have roughly the same disposable income, my question to all of you is…
“Why are WE the collectors willing to pay a higher price than YOU the members?”
