She cant sell out forever.
Saturation?

Who knows maybe she is doing an experiment where signs as many as she sells. These are probably a drop in the bucket of as many as she has done over all.

I've cancelled my purchase and got the refund already. There's going to be multiple tens of thousand of these floating around at this rate (did I see a post a while ago saying there were 35,000 still in stock?) - she'll get RSI writing them all out assuming she is actually signing them all.

I have cancelled mine too

So you are basically admitting you didn’t buy them for yourself and because there are so many you can’t flip them .. lol that’s funny .. and on Twitter it said on Saturday 18,000 left in stock ! Last year she signed a similar amount and all were genuine then too.

No, I bought just one for my daughter as a special present - but it's hardly "special" if there's multiple tens of thousands around. I don't remember there being quite so many in circulation for prior items - this is extreme! And yes, my daughter still has prior signed TS items.
There's no need for such adversarial comment. You have no idea of a person's specific circumstances. And if someone does want to "flip" every so often that's up to them anyway - good luck to them imo as long it's not bot-driven or for multiples of more limited items.

There were a lot of Folklores. I remember she even had them at half price for awhile.

I just don’t understand if you are a fan of any artist and you buy a genuine signed item at a very good price why you would return it when you find out there’s thousands and thousands of them.. she’s signing them with her usual nice signature too.I totally understand sending back autopen secretarial ones but genuine ones because there’s so many that don’t understand at all.
This reminds me of Ed Sheeran and his 99p signed singles that he signed with his awful E thing and then he released 4 or 5 more singles at 99p in their thousands…. They still basically worthless even now but as a fan I do have each one and it doesn’t bother me.

She has released at MUCH higher numbers in the past.. 35k, if accurate is about 1/3rd of what we know she's capable of. Still a crazy amount I agree and unheard of for anyone else. I think this release has a mix of problems. Its not signed on the booklet, its flimsy paper, the album is boring in my, and many others opinion.. and this is limited to one area. There are still people dying to have this in the US
Also just FYI, people don't take too kindly to flippers around these parts lol.. us yankees arnt too keen with your tone.. haha. People collect for many different reasons though and I get how scarcity can come into play.. but if you are buying for your daughter, and everyone else has a copy, wouldn't she feel left out? In my case, I'm doing the same and still haven't scored one of these. If I find one at retail, im going to buy one in an instant for her collection but I won't spend a penny more. It wouldn't matter how many are out there as this would just be a piece of the puzzle making her collection complete as of this date in my eyes. But have to stress that MY EYES... no one can dictate what type of collector you are but when you say things about how many will be floating around, it shows you are more worried about value and thems be flipper jargon

As you say, scarcity comes into play here. My daughter is aware that there are huge numbers of these around, so she's not really bothered about having something that everyone else will have. It's hardly "special" for her in those circumstances. But I understand that there are also many who want complete collections or simply something signed by their idol (wehich she has). Just different strokes for different folks.
My collection has cost a lot of money and is ongoing, and I'm fortunate that I can afford it. If others help finance their collecting with the occasional sale of items I'm perfectly at ease with that, it's what makes a market. I myself have irregularly sold items by artists I no longer care about so much. It's when that turns into more of a business or is taking advantage that it's objectionable. There's room for understanding of everyone's situation here, it's not black and white.
