SHOULD DISCMANIA DO THIS?
Should Discmania Sell Directly on eBay? A Look at Disc Golf's Trading Card World. Discmania's foray into selling a prototype disc directly on eBay has sparked curiosity among golf enthusiasts and collectors. The company's decision to sell the Cloudstone Seine Spore prototype for $767, with 34 bids, raises questions about the market value of limited-edition discs in both the golf and trading card worlds. Russell Dis Golf brought this topic to attention on Twitter, sparking a discussion that resonates with Discmania fans who remember the company's initial success with the Get Freakies disc. The example of the Orange Get Freaky disc, which sold out quickly but later saw its resale value skyrocket, serves as a reminder of the potential for scarcity and hype in the golf industry. As Discmania considers its next moves, viewers can weigh in on whether this type of sales model is acceptable in the world of competitive disc golf.
