Just curious about something that I seem to witness alot. Why do some latex masks seem to depreciate in value while others skyrocket? I mean, a KH/DW these days is a grand or more, when they were like $300. when they came out.
Personally the reason I\'m writing is this. How come people sell their masks for less then it\'s worth? Personally I think a $100. dollar mask should be sold for $120. that would cover shipping, you don\'t have to wait for the mask to be made, and the value of the mask increases by ten bucks.
I hate seeing masks like the Cinema Secrets H8 mask sold for 20-30 dollars. Plus this forces other people trying to sell that mask to lower thier price too. Isn\'t that mask worth 50-60 bux? It sure seems like it to me, I mean, for all the Myers masks made, that one actually DOES look like H8. But people sell them so cheap, (myself included when I saw what others were selling for)
My point is, I guess, masks should be sold for MORE then the listed website price since there is no waiting involved, the mask is already done. I think this would help keep masks valuble and keep the hobby a little more \'alive\' (if that makes any sense)
also, as an aside:
found it really funny and ironic that for a year I watched people bitch about, "how come people just buy masks for halloween then throw them away afterwards?"
But look at all the message boards and the flood of \'for sale\' masks after halloween. :lol:
