Wtf, they had collector value? How? They flooded the market with to much product.... or did they have a Supreme business model?

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

All i know about those things is that people wasted money collecting them. So for those these things have or had value.

Afaik there are "rare" variants that are mixed in with the base ones. One has to know the difference. I'm sure a lot of these will end up in landfills and there will be a collectors market in 150 years.

A lot have already ended up in landfills. They've had at least one time wherein they made a fuckload and then sales dropped and it was cheaper to dispose of thousands rather than put them in storage for any amount of time
