That's what I recall too, I've tried to search it with no luck
It also explained the whole situation of the number of players manipulating the market and their intents

Intersting. I am surprised I don't remember that thread.

a) Yes, I do believe this hobby is getting pushed hard by a limited number of collector/investors. Not sure exactly how many heavy investors there are, but I’d say the people most responsible number more than 10 and probably less than 30.

I definitely remember this thread and there were others not too far behind marking this as the top but where is the term buyers group coined by Brent? Perhaps I missed it but I didn't see it nor do I ever remember it being said.

I brought it up on July 18th. I based it on Brent's post. I don't know if anyone else brought it up earlier.

BTW - I just re-read the post and it seems there was a lot of denial going on.

Reminds me of this thread just on a larger scale

Group manipulation to keep pumping up the prices and try to unload high and see how far you can push the market
Jordan's were crazy across the board. And it bled over to junk wax basketball being all the craze

That's it.

Saw it, didn't remember it until posted, didn't read it.

I'm tending - anymore - to collect as if I were living under a rock.

I know that may be "ignorant bliss?"

My impression - now?

For every thread that involves having fun in the hobby? There just seems to be multiples of those that are negative. Kinda like watching the news which I stopped viewing for the same reason.

For those who enjoy being amidst the fray? That's a valid POV also.

I split the "negative" posts into two groups - the "I told you so" group, which can be annoying, and the "this looks shady" group. After watching the Mastro American Greed, which is still on my DVR, I wish more people would have posted more "this looks shady" during the mid-2000's. The Summer of the Buying Group was just really a roided up version of the auction house shill bidding that Mastro (and other auction houses) ran for years.

who/when/where was the term "buying group" coined?
