How come none of my stupid crap is worth anything?

On the one hand, it's tempting to call this guy a weirdo or a loser:

When comic book store owner Dave Luebke heard that after 67 years, the carrot-topped everyman of the comic world, Archie, was proposing to va-va-voomy rich girl Veronica instead of girl-next-door Betty, he decided to protest by selling his copy of the series' rare first issue.

Luebke's Archie Comics No. 1 sold for $38,837 when Dallas' Heritage Auction Galleries offered it Friday. Heritage spokesman Noah Fleisher said the buyer was a longtime Archie reader and collector from Virginia who did not want to be identified.

On the other hand, he just got nearly forty large from being pissed about something that happened in Archie fucking comics, so there's something to be said for that.

And the thing to be said for that is, basically, "Damnit, why don't any of my stupid obsessions ever make me any cash?"
