I’m actually surprised you didn’t mention that one incident on Twitter that actually got him off the website. In case you didn’t know, he commented said (and I quote) “Imagine boosting the capsule prices and see this person true side. It was never really a pleasant sight.” To a person dealing with depression who had criticized them for having unfair capsule prices. When this got spread around, he made a apology letter, but was later found out that it was made by AI. And after that was revealed, he basically went on a “woe is me, I am the best dealer out there, you guys can’t treat me like this” sort of vent. Stamp actually gaslit me personally when I addressed the situation to him, as I had talked to him a few times before. I understand if you just didn’t know about this, but I was kinda expecting that to be brought up in the video. Other than that, I agree on all the points you made. But I also just have a personal hatred towards him because that person he commented on is actually one of my closest friends. I’m glad I found this channel. Very funny and probably most based.

THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS. I am so tired of all these ebay sellers selling a super common Trackmaster Edward for $80 just because they can. I am talking about a children's toy that was mass produced for several years, and sold at several big retail stores all around the world for about $10 at most. In no way does that warrant a $80 price tag. So many people seem to be just fine with these toys costing that much for whatever reason, and I really don't get it. These ebay sellers have gotten way too greedy, and it's about time someone said something about it.

When it comes to collecting Thomas merch, I think there is a lot to consider. The price is the first thing, and it can be tough to find good ones sometimes. Secondly, the condition of the item. If its all scratched up or is missing parts, you shouldn't have to pay more than retail price. Depending on some items that are still in box or un-used, than it can be justified, if you keep it reasonable. And thirdly, its age. If an item is rare or ended production long ago, it will become more rare as time goes on. But just because it's old doesn't mean it should be expensive. I try to consider all these when I look for a new item to add to the collection.

As someone who only collects Thomas merch casually, I'm very particular with what I want to get, and that includes taking into account the cost of certain items. I collect Wooden Railway and ERTL, and I don't think I've ever paid any more than £20 for a single item. I either buy in bundles and sort through the items I want to keep and sell on the rest, or I just keep a good look out on Facebook marketplace and eBay for cheap listings. To me, these are just children's toys, and they should be priced as such. I feel the problem is that sellers think that the only people who would buy these items now are older collectors and not kids and their parents, so they are priced as if they are for collection only rather than for what they are truly intended for; to be played with.

Watched all of ur other videos and man they’re great. I ordered a plarail 2003 Edward from him that included an express coach and upon delivery, the tender was sunfaded (a little but not that much, was still bright blue) and there was a small chip in the front of the tender. Now I’m a pretty laid back person so I didn’t really care, so I opened him up to make sure the wiring was all good on him, and the slightest turn and the wire came right off the tender. (He’s still broken) but when a month later and I had my express coach on my desk, I dropped it and it literally shattered into pieces. (I’ll try send a pic somehow) now I’ll admit that was my fault but it still doesn’t excuse the fact that you sell a “mint” item and it comes to me broken. Thank god the Edward damage is fixable by buying new wire and buying an old Edward and soldering the tender from that one onto the plarail one. Anyways, sorry for the long rant as I’ve been trying to get this off my chest without looking like a dick.

After getting back into getting thomas toys, it makes me wish kid me didnt destroy/donate a lot of the stuff as a kid. Even back 8 years ago I dont think the prices were good either though at the time I wasnt able to buy things for myself (I was 10, im 18 now) so I cant say for sure but I only got a hit toys bill online back then. But now that I would mainly use my money, most resellers have expensive items in someway. I say it's up to the buyer to decide whats good for them when making a purchase. I have bought a few items from stamp, as it was just one of the first stores I found, and most of my purcheses were impulse buys because it was a character I hadn't seen for a good price, or just really wanted the character. Though also just to put into perspective, I was able to get most of the hit toys/ trackmaster engines for 15-20$ as kid and I was only missing 7 engines. I couldnt fathom trying buy every engine now, especially seeingbthat 1000 dollar collection that oke person had in the video, i probably hace the same amount of engines left over from when I was a kid and I couldnt imagine paying 1000 for the whole lot.

This is genuinely so real omg. I've seen plenty of complaints about SPS but this is the first I've seen hit KZbin. It feels like almost every Plarail/Trackmaster review I see now is advertising this embarrassment of a "store." I don't care who's offering the 10% off coupon, I ain't buying. I'm better off trying to win the iPhone out of the claw machine then try to find a good price on Stamp. Frankly, the people who give into the prices are a bigger problem than the sellers themselves. I'll admit, every once in awhile I have a purchase I'm not so proud of. But I feel that it evens out because: 1. Its not from stamp lmao 2. I'm usually good with finding the best prices possible I'll tell you what I am an absolute sucker for Facebook Marketplace. I got two RC Flip Face Thomas at Tidmouth Sheds sets on there for less than $20. On ebay, you're lucky to get the sheds alone for less than like, $80. Anyway all I can say is thank you for bringing this matter over to KZbin. Hopefully, this can rival some of the Stamp Plarail Suck-ups.

The argument of model trains being cheaper than the average Plarail item, yeah. I agree. That's an eyebrow raiser. Will keep all this in mind when buying Plarail in future.

I totally agree with what you have to say, Stamps prices are so high a model train is probably about the same price as the toy made for kids which is crazy, Kaikki also suffers from the same problem but along with some of the items being expensive they don’t really have much Thomas merch that isn’t sold out, and lastly TotallyThomasTown is actually pretty good if it weren’t for the shipping price (I know it’s from Canada but still at least drop the shipping fees for it). And on eBay is so much worse, the capsule plarail items can be very expensive, like 50+ dollars expensive and the items there are at the same height as a regular mini (I’m basically paying for an expensive Thomas mini). All I want is for the prices on selling sites with Thomas merch to be at the very least reasonable and affordable that’s how people will buy your stuff, overprice them and now one will buy them because of the price. But that’s all I have to say on the matter Also what the heck is this 6:15

Honestly, when it comes to Stamp… For the most part, you are correct. They often tend to overpriced, especially when there are other better Tomy/Plarail/Trackmaster items out on eBay or other places…with three exceptions: the three railway engines. Before Stamp came along, Edward, Henry, and Gordon were expensive AF. But Stamp slightly lowered the prices compared to most other sellers. And I got a Plarail Edward from them. He runs great and looks great. But that being said, aside from Henry and Gordon (which tend to be bought pretty quickly), the items they sell are expensive (but seriously, you’ll catch me dead before I get a Trackmaster Molly for $50).

There's this seller on both eBay and Mecari called EG Trains who sells Thomas items, and I've purchased three items from them before, but they were all at fairly reasonable low prices, so I didn't have a problem. However, I've come to notice how crazy a lot of the prices are for some of the more "desirable" or "rare" items that they own. Now I can understand the reason for putting these at high prices, but with most I have to question if the seller even looks at any other listings of the same item that they're putting up for sale to see how much they should put them up for because a lot of them are just ridiculous. I don't someone is gonna be paying over 70 for a Wooden Railway Troublesome Truck that was released 2 years ago just because it got recalled, or other things that you can get for a cheaper price like a Trackmaster Donald or Duck, or a Wood Henry. I understand that making money is important, and they've made close to about the same amount of sales as Stamps but like with him, I think EG needs to dial it back with a lot of the prices they put these toys for cuz a lot of them are just as crazy Stamps' prices. If no one on eBay is paying 9-20 for the countless new in box Racing Thomases that are listed, then what makes EG think that someone is gonna pay 26 dollars for the one they have?

It's a weird mindset sellers have. Rarity obvs affects prices but even common ass items are priced like they're rare. It's really dumb

I kinda see the same sentiment when it comes to retro games. But I find that the Plarail prices you've shown are somehow worse than even the most egregious prices for games from the PS1 and N64 era. Its funny to see Paper Mario go for less than Tomy Oliver.
@ThomasShorts123Ай бұрын
It's all about value. When you have a price that goes way beyond the actual value of an item, that makes it overpriced. And suffice to say Thomas merchandise on eBay has too low of value for it to be priced the way it is
@RudolphTheRedNosedFoxАй бұрын
@ThomasShorts123 true. It really does suck that these toys made for kids now go for more than higher end model trains. Especially for throw away characters like Jeremy and Scruff.

To be fair to Stamp I looked into it and the costs for shipping from Singapore to the USA is beyond unreasonable. The prices for packages that a TOMY/Plarail would fill up and weigh can range from $70-120+ depending on the speed and that’s just converting Singapore’s currency to the United States’ (right now they’re 1.34:1 with the US); so I kind of give them some leniency as they’re fronting the export bill for their buyers. I agree that it’s too much but considering what it costs just to fly the items over, I can’t blame Stamp too hard in good conscious.
@ThomasShorts123Ай бұрын
You make a good point, but, what about the buyers who purchase things from his area? Would it be fair to them to pay for things that have shipping tax included in the price, despite living in roughly the same area? Sure the prices are high for folks in the US, but people who live near stamp don't deserve to pay for something that has shipping tax included even though they live nearby. That's my opinion on that matter at least
@Percyfan1998Ай бұрын
@@ThomasShorts123 His prices are actually under the shipping costs, so not quite 1:1. Yeah, it’s rough on his neighborhood crowd, though their economy is pretty damn high right now, so it’s possible he just knows his customer base there are loaded, but it is a bad optic regardless.
