I posted a Diamond case on PP... tried my best to start with a low price but 5 minutes later and it was already 3 numbers price...
It is pretty scary, don’t know how long I will still be able to buy puzzles if demand continue to increase with such a speed!

I know, I’ve noticed a huge change in the last two years. I used to have a shot at getting stuff at auctions and now it’s almost impossible. Sometimes I will overpay for a rare puzzle knowing I’ll be able to sell it again later for a decent price.

Along the same lines with the increasing price for auctions.

I just tried to purchase a few products from Eric Fullers latest release and 300-400 puzzles were all sold out in 2 minutes.
I logged in at 3:00 when it released, added 4 items to cart, went to pay. All were gone.

If my math is right, it totaled to around $75,000 in sales in 2 minutes.

I agree with you, there are certain people who purchase and sell just to flip.

I'm a solver first, collector second. I try to sell my puzzles at cost if not below to discord members or others. I don't make a lot of money as others, so I tend to solve and sell like the aluminum cross. But I try to avoid ebay at all costs, I'd like to keep puzzles in the community, even if it results in not making as much money selling them.

What bothers me is certain people who, for example, people who bought two of the CD lock boxes with the sole purpose of selling one profit.
