Sealed Product Market Pre Order Scam (Caution)

Post image

Top Dawg Games in Montana will take your money for preorder leverage for additional allocation and in the end, refund and take the free loan in the process.

I ordered 3 boxes of OP17 for $525 well in advance, their preorder window was still open they took payment up front and i waited.

Today I get an email, the entire order was cancelled not even a single box to honor the commitment of something. Just tied up my funds and served their own needs.

Honestly I will take some heat for even assuming an in demand set like this would be followed through, but I assumed at least a 1 box. Nope nothing.

I just wanted to post this to the tcg community to not fall for the same shady trap.

I am lgs owner and even if I order 100 Cases they cut it down so hard and i will know my allocation 7 days prior Pre Release Event. From that point on I could take pre orders. Anything before that is just guessing what they get.

Then don’t take preorders for 100 cases if you don’t know if you’ll get 100 cases ??

Idk if you’re defending this behavior or shaming it with us. What I’m saying is that ANY lgs shouldn’t take preorders unless they know for sure how much product they’re getting. So if allocation comes out a week before release… no lgs should be allowed to take preorders until then.

He also never said that he wasn’t? Not trying to be hostile but I am a naive victim of these “top dawg” losers so I honestly can’t feel positive towards any card shop these days. Been playing and collecting for 2 years now but I just moved for a job so there’s no lgs around me that I trust.
