  1. The supply and demand point I'm attempting to convey is the fact that it seems that there IS an ample supply, seeing that easily over 20 have been made available in the past 2 months. That just being on Ebay and Amazon alone, not mentioning other aftermarket spots people been able to land them. So let's just say 14 a month have been sold. At that rate, and taking into account the AVAILABILITY and PRICING of the other harder to get mythos packs "A Phantom of Truth" is grossly overvalued. Either the price of the other packs need to come up or the price of PoT needs to come down. Looking back at the archived sales for PoT demand has remained rather steady for 3 months while supply has also remained steady, matter of fact in my opinion supply has increased as demand has decreased. I am interested in seeing where the market correction will happen. I can point to one auction on ebay on Oct 9 that has driven the price of this pack and potentially all aftermarket prices of Arkham Horror mythos packs. That auction went for $153, before that I remember PoT was selling for between $30 and $70, that auction caused a 2x aftermarket price jump overnight. Again in my estimation "A Phantom of Truth" is WAY overvalued, I would place its cost, according to the market valuation at $45 to $60. The problem is these sellers don't NEED to sell these things to survive so they could leave these postings up for a decade at the overvalued price and not miss it. I didn't mean to imply that shops were being nefarious in their actions. I think though that they may have been sitting on back stock for a while and are only participating in what the market is dictating. My caps are for edification I'm not yelling at you lol.
  2. There's really not a shortage of this mythos pack because since Oct. 1 eighteen of them have shown up on ebay and another three or four on Amazon. I think all the game shops bought them up and are sitting on them. The aftermarket sellers are driving the prices, this is not a supply and demand thing. I would suggest not paying the exorbitant prices to possibly drive the price down. Also none of the ebay sellers atm have the "best offer" option on them so they are confident someone is going to pay $149 for a mythos pack.
  3. Five of these up on the ebay now. Would be nice to get some kind of clarity from FFG on their plans moving forward into the next year. I feel like they're leaving the paying customers in the dark and it's not a good feeling. There are much more important things going on in the world, it's madness, I know. Contrary to that though I need a release from this stupid ****, as James Maynard Keenan puts it in "AEnema." To be a leader in commerce and a beacon to good business someone needs to step forward and tell us whats going on. That to me will separate FFG from just another factory farm.
  4. Its also Wages of Sin in Circle Undone and Point of No Return in Dream Eaters. If you want to play any of those three campaigns you are going to have to grossly overpay for one of those mythos packs Carcosa of course included. So I'm stuck here playing TFA getting trucked because I'm bored with NoZ and Dunwich. Not a fan of TFA.
  5. Covid needs to go eat a fat bag of maggot infested meat kabobs
  6. For this pack to be so unavailable there always seems to be 1 to 3 copies of it on ebay for 5 to 7x the price. There is also some "War of the Outer Gods" popping up on there now. Do you think FFG gives special attention to certain game shops when it comes to drops and delivery? It seems like some of the cutthroat tactics used in the comic biz are leaking over to games.
  7. Auction on ebay at $77 atm and also two went up for sale yesterday one for $129 plus shipping another for $159. I personally don't care if I finish it anymore.
  8. I have a feeling that FFG had too many irons in the fire before the pandemic and now they are just swimming. I might have to pay the money for phantom because I haven't seen any reprints for almost 2 months now. The other cycles are getting just as scarce.
  9. Three were sold this week on Ebay for $130 each.
  10. I've been looking the past 7 weeks for this. They've been slowly trickling out of Amazon and Ebay during that time for a low of 70$ to a high of 150$.
  11. When you add a permanent card to your deck does it start automatically in play or do you have to draw it first?
  12. Its not like a comic book that has resale value. 8x the value Yog-Soggoth is even shaking its head.
  13. There's an auction for A Phantom of Truth mythos pack on ebay thats up to $102 right now.
