Has anyone else noticed how insanely over priced everything is right now? I used to rent
a 3000 squarefoot house with another 3000 squarefoot of land to go with it for $1400 a month from 2009 to 2018, now something like that would be $4000 a month. As someone who's been buying and selling everything from computer components to vehicles via craigslist for the past 10 years, this is somewhat worrying. Cars that I used to buy for a couple thousand 5 years ago are selling for double the price even though they've had 5 more years of depreciation. Bicycles that wal mart used to sell for $79 are being sold by resellers for $200. People are asking for almost the retail price of current gen computer hardware for last gen hardware. People actually have the nerve to ask for money for piss stained furniture that people used to give away for free What the fuck is going on?
Why the fuck is everything over priced?

Hyperinflation soon fren

Sounds about right for a low miles museum quality example of a true type r
Not the heavy turbocharged abomination they have out now
They’re figuring out how to squeeze the leftover income that people have. It’s been said that rent accounts for about 50 percent of people’s income now, but if you’re a landlord why would you want to settle for 50 percent? Why not 90 percent? The same concept of price creep is moving into other sectors.
People get hard-ons when markets are good. Find something you want and just wait until we get to a panic period and buy it for a more reasonable price.
That a type r, most likely extremely low miles. I wouldn’t pay that price but I grew when that was the hottest and rarest thing available.

lmao at americans who always get the shittest variants of japanese sports cars, inflate the prices and have terrible modifications and taste 10 years behind the rest of the world. God can only get retribution against america for ruining the skyline market. Prices inflated based upon speculation and forbidden fruit mentality, and the fun, knockabout culture ruined by people who unironically think they are supercars and not just fun sports cars, hoard muh 'rare' (read: shit) JDM parts and now try to gatekeep people who aren't involved in the race to the bottom to find 'muh nismo old logo!1! rare part le JDM rare!'.
>tfw my integra I got for free from helping elderly neighbor move got stolen and completely stripped
It has less then 9k miles and was a true museum piece example, but it still isn't worth that money
Not sure about eBay murica, but everywhere else (Yurope) it went from $1+ auction - to fixed Buy My Shit At What I Think Its Worth Price (Protip: Its Not). I think the now entire absence of a platform where you could (if you weren't too fussy) buy literal shit for $1.00 had a lot to do with prices and expectations now in general. Also, resources, people value trash more, and finding exactly what they are looking for. tldr, overpriced 2nd hand here to stay

They are a classic at this point.
Low sense of community, high sense of greed.
Dodge Neon SRT cheaper, faster and not some overrated Jap import that nerds splooge over.
Learn about value and it'll get your far in life mates
Are we talking a hard R here?
Boomers can't resist fucking the future generations. Just can't control themselves.
People are desperate to make a lot of money with minimum effort. It's a bubble.
That type R is worth the price though, absolutely savage vehicle. FWD drifting without trays is a reality.
>it still isn't worth that money
Someone paid that money so obviously it was worth it. You do understand how "value" is defined right?
That's a real classic if in the right condition
But it's all fucked. Specially rent
Real inflation is out the wazoo. Government just increasingly subsidizes food, and there is real cheap entertainment now which is why people don't notice. Its complete joke really. Rent, healthcare, etc. shit is just sky rocketing and the government is nope inflation is only 2% because that phone you bought has 10% more pixels but only cost 8% more. Meanwhile the quality of life just goes to shit.
In the background the fed is just inflating the fuck out of our money, devaluing our savings and future income to bail out multinational zombie corporations again and again so they can continue to pay million dollar bonuses and stock incentives. We as a society pretty much rain wealth down on billionaires and heirs while the lower class are essentially debt slaves. Prices constantly going up but wages staying the same, while you're born into massive life long debt (student debt, lunch debt, etc.)
We have reached peak neofeudalist capitalism.
boomers gon boom. simple as.
>People are desperate to make a lot of money with minimum effort. It's a bubble.
This. We are reaching peak capitalism.
>Why the fuck is everything over priced?
are you serious?
Factor in inflation alone and it's worth double.
And if Its a type R...and in mint condition with low miles, then yeah. I can see it going for that.
When you have something of rarity, you get to charge for rarity. You can find old shitter integras no problem. A mint , garage kept, type R with low mileage...different story.
Some asshole with more money than he knows what to do with bought the car for that much as a way of setting the value for it. Now, the value of every single Integra type R has increased slightly because of this sale. This is how rich people make markets. This is also why art sells for so much money.
Ever watched this guy?
