Why Resellers Are Important
They are the tastemakers helping to determine what’s valuable
If you’re a collector of anything, you’ve likely bought something from a reseller.
You know, the people that find deals and resell the product at a higher price, just because they can.
Most people that collect things hate resellers. They hate that they have to pay more for something than the reseller paid the day before.
They don’t feel like it’s a fair or worthy practice.
But while the practice is annoying, it’s one of the main ways to guarantee there remains a market for these products.
Like it or not, resellers are the tastemakers
Society needs people to tell them what’s cool. It needs someone to dig through the trash and determine what has staying power and what doesn’t.
Not everyone can do it. Some people are really bad about predicting the future.
Everyone likes different things, of course. But it is the duty of the tastemakers to look at the market as a whole and pick the products that most people will like down the line.
There’s a nostalgia factor baked in, too.
