Doop is already dropping!!!

[rychehitman]

Can be found for under $200. Still more that i would pay, but good news for international Knights. In a few weeks he should be down to around $100, eh?

maxgoof...you paying attention.

[spider-man]

they will drop for a little bit but don't get used to it. There are a lot of dealers now that will want to make a quick profit off of them but once the market starts thinning out again they'll be right where they started.

[Collection King 13]

THey will drop for now because they have flooded the market... But it will become much harder to get once collectors have them for keeps...

[The General]

People that really want it better not miss this window because when it closes the price is going right back up and I'll be there waiting. :eplus2:

[madjazz]

Doop is dropping?!?!?!? And I just washed the car. Sometimes I just hate those birds . . . . . http://jm.g.free.fr/smileys/roflmao.gif

maxgoof...you paying attention.

Yes, I certainly am. Should I be impressed with this astonishing results?

The only question in my mind is whether those auctions are being listed by chimps, or just people with the IQs of chimps? :eplus2:

THIRTY of the 500 Doops in existence are on eBay right now. That's 6%. If there were suddenly 120 Thor mini-busts on eBay, the market would suddenly go down on him, too.

There are laws of supply and demand, and the foolish people selling their Doops now have violated them. Once Doop has made his way to happy, loving collector homes in a month or so, and out of the hands of the scalpers who bought him just to sell, his price will go back up.

The more stupid people trying to cash-in quick all-at-once, the lower the price will be for now. I'm glad the imbeciles are all selling their Doops now into good collector hands, though--it definitely speeds up the process of young Doop becoming scarcer and regaining his value. :thumbs2:

Who are YOU to decide when people should sell their stuff?? I agree that people selling these all at once is going to cut into what they could get at a later date but to call people imbeciles and stupid is a bit rough, kay? The "goof" part of your name certainly comes through in your post!

not if you only paid $31 and sell it for $200-$300

[Grumpy]

Ya know, whether or not Doop is available on e-bay and what the price is presently is one issue, granted, but in my little mind, the bigger question is how people like mmcomics has 4 of them listed at the same time, or how citizen_of_mars has 3 listed but has already sold 2 others while another guy named m.t.s. has already sold 3 Doops. Makes me wonder how they got so many in the first place and how many more they are holding in reserve that aren't up for sale. I don't mind paying what I bid but it sure sucks that so many people were able to get so many of these items when I couldn't even get one. I understand why, I'm just *****en'.

This was not a club exclusive. It was hyped as limited to 500 and it sold out in one day. I recognize MMComics and am pretty sure they have a house account with Bowen. Given how things occurred, they were smart to pre-order what they could.

I understand your sentiments, and if it is done in the future I hope they limit it to one per customer, at least for the first week or two.

it`s so easy to get multiples of exclusives it`s no trouble at all.

[alexp98]

Each of the direct Bowen accounts received 10 Doop busts. Got that information from my dealer who has a direct account with Bowen.

Well, unless the 2 accounts I know are lying, I don't know if that is 100% accurate.

[alexp98]

I got that info from my dealer and also heard something similar to that from Marz and Tales of Wonder. Could be just the bigger accounts. Don't know if Diamond got any though, since I've never seen them solicit it.

The two accounts I know weren't too far off, 8 each I think.

[Stef Jelos]

For all you economics professors...you're focusing on the supply part of the equation, but what about demand? Doop's price will drop because it's not a popular character and not a compelling sculpt.

Also, Where did the 'club exclusive' bulls*^$ come from? Doop wasn't an exclusive. I went on sale on Bowen site and sold out in a day after it was known only 500 would be sold.

[ickwinzs]

Diamond didn't get any Heather told me.

Doop will always be at least a $150 bust... Plus it is NOT a variant there is only ONE Doop... No others... No brown variant, no chrome variant, no bearded variant... So it will eventually become a tough one to get! I'm not swyaing that it will go for Surfer prices but at least surfer has 2 versions, just like punisher and FFF... So Doop will always be a pricey bust... Especailly after htis flood of Doops end.

I agree, which I think was Ritz & Goof's major point. Basic economics had the first few go high, but now there is a glut. Once it was apparent that glut stage had arrived and it was not a renewable resource, if there were no other reason to sell other than making $, then holding onto the product until the glut cleared up would have been a wise thing to do.

I did not think they were telling people what to do, although words like stupid are always lightning rods. If you remove or find another way to phrase some of their word choices, their basic points were true, and you have nicely summed up why.

[Collection King 13]

Also if you look on eBay at the completed listings the cheapest one went for $150... the next is $160 and then they all range from $175 - $355.....

[Collection King 13]

Now its already regaining its value and hitting the $200 mark and higher again!

[Grumpy]

I'm thinking Doop will probably level out at around $250.00. This is a piece for the dedicated "completionists" among the Bowen Knights. Unless Randy plans to add more of Doops team mates to the fold, it will end up being a stand alone piece. I want one and am willing to pay $250.00 or more if necessary but I think the $350.00 they initially went for was due to hipe those early buyers will regret their eagerness.

By the way, anyone notice that the Storm bust is dropping in price? Any speculation as to why?

Don't forget - there's also no corn variant! http://jm.g.free.fr/smileys/beerchug.gif

Guess we can call him "Droop" now. :rolleyes2

*Please forgive me if someone else used this lame joke already. I don't mind being lame, but a lame copy-cat is uncool.*

[Justin]

so maybe the guys that were all over the first person that put one on ebay with a starting price of $330 or whatever it was were wrong when you look at what the prices are now? :rolleyes2

[Collection King 13]

THe prices are low because there are toooooooooooooooo many up..... and its still hitting the $200 mark....

[Justin]

It was just an observation CK13, There seemed to be a lot of people bagging the seller, when in hindsight.. it looks like it was a pretty smart move, I agree there is a flood of them on ebay at the moment.. I'm happy about that as it made it a lot cheaper for myself to pick one up

[Collection King 13]

I still think he wouldve got more than $300 if he started it at $1... He wouldve saved those damn eBay fees...

[Justin]

That's fair enough ck13.. as I said mate it was just an observation.. wasn't trying to have a go at anyone

Me too. Out of the last month's worth of auctions, the only Doop bust that actually did sell went for $89.

Scarcity, in and of itself, does not automatically equal demand.

[bat_collector]

this is probably the future for death mask archangel too

[fossa]

this is probably the future for death mask archangel tooi don't agree. DMA will probably be limited to 750, have chrome wings, and is (a variant of) a much popular character.

[bat_collector]

i don't agree. DMA will probably be limited to 750, have chrome wings, and is (a variant of) a much popular character.
and it looks terrible.

But, I really don't care. No interest in death mask arcangel anyway.

I got mine from DCCBS and they told me the same thing. However, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if there wasn't some sort of "variation" on this policy from Co. to Co. :confused:

Diamond didn't get any Heather told me.
Heather still talks to you :confused: :laugh:

[deaconbluezzz]

Well, I'm not even a big X-fan, and I wouldn't mind having a display with the "blue costume" Angel bust, Death mask Archangel, and unmasked Archangel. I think they'd look great together.

[Endless Wake]

Me too. Out of the last month's worth of auctions, the only Doop bust that actually did sell went for $89.

Scarcity, in and of itself, does not automatically equal demand.
There are probably only a handful of completists left, and Doop is easy to let go. With so many versions of A-list characters from different companies plus the ever shirking display space, most collectors have to be picky with their choices.
