That makes sense. I suppose it's similar to me buying an anime figurine but at least I'm not under any pretense it's going to be worth something someday and it's up in the air whether anyone want to inherit it. It kind of sucks how much marketing has manufactured stuff out of thin air that we're all just supposed to go with despite it being totally artificial.
Oh there's gonna be Gen Alpha or Gen Beta kids filling dumpsters with Stanley cups, anime figurines, gundam models and retro consoles in the 2060s. "Why did my grandmother think this was cool?"
I feel Stanley cups will still have a small amount of value, they're a decent quality insulated cup after all.
I saw a video a few weeks back of a woman cleaning out layers of "decent quality insulated cups" from her cupboard, several each of a decade's worth of fads. Those are going in landfills en masse before the 21st century is out.
Stanley cups are just cups that people are way too excited about for some reason. Anime figurines, depends on if.they like the anime too. If not, they're not worth anything. Retro consoles are cool but there are emulators
