Here are the rest of Digi's tweets regarding his sold secondhand goods.
Points of interest:
- (YardSale7) Tommy Oliver bought the Xbox version of Metal Arms: Glitch in the System (Ebay price range: $13-$33) and We Love Katamari (Ebay price range: $17-$30) .
- (YardSale9) Someone bought what appears to be two vintage HP devices, their chargers, and a mangaka (manga artist) artbook and will probably flip them all (minus the shirt... pants? sweater?).
- As others have said, some of these are expensive collector items and some were even acquired at cons.
- Digi's followers are very supportive of the yard sale.
- (YardSaleRiley) The yard sale items can be shipped.
Even if time was of the essence and the yard sale was the only way, the fact that Digi manage to sell off a good portion of his collection in just one day and have it be supported by his devotees on Twitter means that he could've made far more money had he just sold his goods at their resale value, or, at the very least, half of that.
He somehow still has a cult of personality and to cult members, they're willing to pay any price, no matter how high, for their idol's possessions. Even for people not of the cult, I doubt they would've minded paying ten to thirty dollars (maybe even forty) for what is obviously vintage media by 2020s standards. And if the deadline for the eviction's approaching just slash prices to increase demand.
So once again, Riley's galaxy brain business acumen shows how boundless it truly is.
The funny about this episode for me is that I once sold my unneeded possessions online too including luxury brand-name clothes, high-end computer parts, vintage video games and consoles (mostly PS1 and Sega Megadrive), and CD music albums from the 90s and 2000s. 'Didn't really pan out in my country since buying second-hand goods is not a common practice here, but I had more luck on Ebay. I remember spending three days researching the price of every item I had, calculating their resale value, cleaning them, and taking aesthetically pleasing photos of them for their listings. I put in all that hard work because I actually gave a shit about the
value of my items and wanted to maximize my profit as much as I possibly could.
To see Digi sell off all his once prized possessions for pennies on the dollar, when some of these items could probably fetch around a hundred dollars in auctions on ebay, is both funny and pathetic. It just speaks of the kind of
man Digi's become when he places so little value on his past.
