K&C Ebay Sales (1 Viewer)

Remember a few years ago when you placed a retired K&C item on ebay it was will I get 2 or 3 times what I paid for it. Not any more. I,ve been trying to sell a few items and if it sells how much of a loss am I willing to take. I did notice vehicles sell better than individual figures but still at below retail. Way to much product on the secondary market.

Been like that for the last couple of years to be fair

Supply and Demand, economics 101.

K & C WWII in the secondary market is very, very slow, been that way for awhile now.

I steer clear for the most part on K & C WWII retired items, other eras seem to do better.

Makes you wonder how many new collectors are coming into this hobby who are interested in this stuff.

Hate to tell you, it's only going to get worse.

Got a call from the son in law of a former customer who passed away; he's got a 20 by 10 storage unit filled floor to ceiling with mostly K & C WWII retired items as he last bought from me about 5 to 7 years ago.

No thanks, hard pass.

Wow that would of been impressive to see, still a few older K&C I've been chasing for a while but some are asking ridiculous prices so will wait patiently for them.
