Not a troll post lol Those LVC firebirds were for sale on discgolfvalues for that price and all sold out. discgolfvalues has been out of stock of all their air force stamped stuff for pandemics now but I see all the same stuff on ebay for 3x the price...makes me wonder if that dude just gave up on selling things for a fair price when he could pillage others for way more money.

either i mixed up my threads or emoney changed his post. the link i first saw was 3500 for a Thought Space Athletics Animus, a disc i've never heard of before now.
I know there is a shortage of the exact disc people are looking for, but there are lots of discs available.
If a newb is buying $50 PMB putter or $1200 Sexton Firebird, they are doing it wrong.
ANYONE buying overpriced discs because they just have to have that specific disc is their own worst enemy.

Collectors collect things and are willing to pay for them. What someone else does with their money is their worry.
That said, I pity the fool that pays for this (not disc golf related)

A 50$ pmb ts putter is not overpriced considering how popular they are AND that it's like $15 more than you would pay anyway (retail+shipping).
Plus you get the color combo you want.
Not a "ridiculously overpriced" disc imo. Seems fair (if not cheap) for a secondary market price.
Someone bought 50 2021 Sextons...didn't even open the box....and flipped them for $3200... made over $1500... not bad for a few clicks on the keyboard.

These new disc golfers are falling for the old "1 of XXX" trick...
Most of the time they are paying hundreds of dollars for a 5 cent piece of foil. The plastics alot of the time are either being used in production or will be used in the future.
I don't think these type of discs hold their value over time.

A Kobe beef burger goes for around $50.
A disc lasts a heck of a lot longer.

I'm sure you have spent more than $50 on putters. Maybe not a single disc but your discs probably weren't limited and didn't retail for $25-$35.
If you can't buy a limited product for less than $25-$35... paying $50 in the secondary market isn't ridiculously overpriced.
Obviously all of us paying more than $1 for a plastic circle makes every disc overpriced...but that isn't what this thread is about... maybe take a break from pinching pennies and re-read the OP.

I'll give you $2.37 and half a pack of Newports
Only if you cover shipping on the cancer sticks
Fair enough. Yes there are some crazy prices that some are apparently willing to pay.
As I've never been much of a collector type, I don't value "stuff" in that way.
To each their own.
I assume these ridiculous prices are for collecting and not discs someone is going to throw.
The PMB putters you referenced are discs for play, hence my statement they are overpriced IMO.

People drive $100,000 cars. A $50 putter is nothing.
Dunno but I'd like to have one for the wall... they're neat.

grow the sport they said...
The man himself listed 5 bottom stamped '17s on the sexton collector page for $750 each and sold out in 20 minutes.. probably should have asked for more.
