I'm not sure I would agree with this assumption. I believe that most CoA holders hit more then one Con a year.

The only data point we have on this subject so far is that based on recent sales, Fleece values have been trending down lately. Is this short term? No one knows for sure.

Is the price of Fleece dropping a problem? Maybe, maybe not. Depending on who you ask you'll get a different answer. Is the world gradually heating up and is that a problem? Maybe, maybe not. Depends on who you ask. The "solution in search of a problem" statement is political talk. If your crafty enough, you can take just about anything someone considers a problem and formulate an argument against why it's not. Que the lawyer comments... .

I am glad to see that there's been a fair number of responses as it's always nice seeing the TD community's viewpoints when it comes to the Token market.

On this we agree.

That could
Be because they want to move it quick

Hell I can list one at 150$.
I don't think it would sell for a while

Probably. Almost everything in that post was at a discount.

When I first started selling PYPs, they went for $125, and gold was $30/1k. Both are down significantly.

As a seller, I'd love to see those prices come back. Since that's a problem that's been around much longer than the Fleece issue, I think we should address that first before tackling trophies.

Yes, I had spent most of the money I was saving for Gen Con, and wondered how to make some quick cash.

Then I remembered the bag of trade items I had. I looked at current eBay prices, and went a bit under those for my prices.

Outside of a few items in Dave's list I think most were priced at market. $5 for Munition is at or higher than current market, $3 for Plank is market, $18 for Oil is market. I picked up the Aragonite which I think was below market by just a few bucks, and Ink at $4 is about market now. Can't remember what the others were listed at. Plus eBay sellers pay fees.

The question is did someone buy the fleece at 45?

Ro-Gan offered to buy everything, which I would assume would include the fleece. .

Yep I just saw that. So I imagine he saw it and everything else as a pretty good deal. I thought it was a good deal. I am not in the market to buy fleece or any tokens at time. 50+ TD tickets for Gen Con has limited my token buying abilities at this time. Time will tell if it was a good deal for all parties involved.
