It was, yeah. The market crashed pretty much over night too. Really obvious in hindsight, but if you’re making six figures from reselling the things you’re probably too close to really notice the wider picture.
I think some of them are still still hoping for that sweet payout
I was trying to find a specific beanie baby I had as a kid the other day and all the results were for these pristine in box listings that I don’t think anyone’s given a second glance in years going for like ten or twenty dollars
…man I just want the dumb jingly elf I had as a kid I don’t really care about the tag
True, but I always get the vibe from tise auction listings that they were originally for much more - they’re always set up nice and pretty with backgrounds and super nice shots and everything
I think people know, but there’s this weird disconnect where it applies to bugs but not animals. Most kids know female mantis and spiders generally eat the males of their species, but far fewer know the realities of chickens or pigs. Always pretty easy to pick out the farm kids in biology class.
This depends very heavily on how you pick them up by the shell.
If you just grab the shell and pull, yes.
They can feel the touch on the shell though, and usually retreat into it when touched. When they do, if you slide them backward along their own slime trail (or if aquatic/wet surface, any direction), they lose suction and pop right off. No harm done.
I’ve never managed to kill a snail by handling, but I’m gentle about it.
