You ain’t kidding Yac. I went balls to the wall the last year and a half search high and low all over the net trying to round out my collection. I’m seeing what’s available these days and it’s not the same inventory and price of what was available a year or even 6 months ago.
I think the pandemic has a dramatic effect on long sold out collectibles. The vintage toy market (specifically toys from the 80s and 90s) has gone crazy.

Interesting point. Years back I would watch an auction and there was usually a good chance of bugging last minute and getting a Bowen at a great deal. These days the auctions all seem to be ending much higher than the Buy It Nows. I’m much more inclined to pull the trigger on a Buy It Now especially if it’s a BIN w/Best Offer. I see an auction I rarely see it through the end.
