you know what's stupid. supposed "boy" hobbies are way fucking more expensive to buy old merch from on ebay, no matter how niche the property is that you think no one cares about it anymore. why are people selling the combo man comic for 50 bucks or more. that shit should be 30 cents

#text post #watch the in bob we trust episode from 2015 called who is marvel's worst hero to learn who combo man was #i would love to ironically own a combo man hat or sweatshirt or tshirt #literally the first sweatshirt i saw was 1000 doll hairs. IN THIS ECONOMY???#seriously nobody knows who combo man is. what kind of IDIOT is going to buy that #meanwhile when i look to old merchandise of girl-marketed properties (even megapopular ones)#(im talkin hello kitty hannah montana levels of popularity)#that shit is cheap. idk perhaps it says larger things about collecting culture #the only 'girl' hobby that can be ridiculously expensive secondhand is dolls. and that comes and goes in waves #right now buying dolls is fucka expensive again bc of the barbie movie but just wait five-ten years #it'll tank and i'll be able to buy my favorite plastic women secondhand for cheap again #BUT NOBODY KNOWS WHO COMBO MAN IS!!!!! WHAT IS WRONG W THE MALE-DOMINANT COLLECTOR MARKET #you people need to work that shit out. geez really reminds me of why i gradually distanced myself from 'geek' spaces #they're terribly-run and have nonsensical priorities
