    I come up with it yesterday while i was organising some pens for some trades. It may be stupid or crazy or whatever. I just want to hear your opinion in it.

    Have you ever imagined a stock market with pens? With so many trades going on everyday worldwide with pens and stuff like this a stock market for pens (or pens related items) may appear one day. I am not any expert in stuff like these.

    What is your opinion?

    ya, pretty crazy
    theres no way it would work anyways cuz no one actually has the ownership
    of the pen that makes other ppl unable to make the pen.
    thats why ppl can just make mods of other spinners

    I know a thing or two about economics and the stock market as I own shares.

    A stock market for pens (mods) wouldn't really be viable as pens (mods) are not in high demand. As in not enough people want to own pens. As you all would know, the share market works because of supply and demand.

    It would only work if the market (pen spinners) was big enough and a lot of people (enough people to create demand) wanted a certain pen (mod) that was rare and couldn't be made by anyone (which is kind of impossible as there are tutorials on how to mod online).

    Collecting or hoarding rare/extinct pens then waiting a few years to resell them is an interesting idea but it just wouldn't work because the demand would be so low (unless I'm proved wrong and there's a pen spinning revolution that makes everyone dependent on pen spinning).
