There are, what, like 35 or so copies on ebay at any time? I'm gonna say demand has not outstripped supply.
Of course it has... That's like saying there are a 1000 houses for sale at the beach. Everyone wants a beach house, hence that demand drives up the price to a level where the seller can maximize asking prices. Just because there's a lot of something doesn't mean the demand is not there. It means the price has reached a point to curtail rapid sell-outs.
How many TWD #1 would be on eBay if the price was $100 per?
Again, that is a logical fallacy. You can't pick another scenario and use it as a metaphor just because you like the point it proves. The situations are completely unrelated and stem from very different criteria. For instance: you cannot say that housing supply (necessary for human life) is the same as WD1 supply (NOT necessary for human life). Therefore the market dynamics are not the same, regardless of an economic supply and demand principle..
When 35 WD1 are on eBay at any given time and dozens of them remain unsold from month to month, that means that supply is outpacing demand. It doesn't necessarily mean the bubble has burst yet, or growth still isn't happening; but it does mean that the growth curve has slowed significantly.
The whole point of this thread is to predict when the bubble will burst, but I have not seen anyone provide any evidence that it will not.
Yes, I can use the housing analogy to argue my point - it's a "logical fallacy' for you to try to break my point regarding supply and demand based on perceived needs and wants
There are X number of people in America that are homeless. The demand for homes is there, but sadly they cannot afford one. There are X number of Walking Dead collectors that want a #1, but $1500+ might be too rich for their blood.
This is simple economics (supply and demand). Just because something is available and sits unsold doesn't mean there is no demand. There is. Go back to my previous post and answer the question... How many TWD #1 would be available if they were listed @ $100 per?
