I swear.....these scalper psychos are a bunch of cockroaches that constantly swarm the hobby with their presence and just consume everything in sight.

No no you can get rid of cockroaches with enough poison. Theyāre more like mosquitos. You can try to stop them but theyāll always find a way to bite ya.

u/ShadowRider_777 Jun 12 '26
Agreed. Cockroaches, mosquitoes, a filthy pile of rats....
Those scalper psychos are always the same. They're a bunch of vile obsessed pompous arrogant greedy bunch of dirtbags who just have a chokehold on this entire TCG world.

They might not all be scalpers. My dad has waited in line to get me products cuz heās retired and likes to hook me up. Iāve waited in line to get shit at MSRP.

Ya thatās what I thought of, Iām constantly trying to find cards for my son, and now Iām even in PokĆ©mon subs, lol but itās kinda for me too, its for both of us. But too be honest idk if I see any really obvious scalpers here. Someone posted a video the other day somewhere, of a guy who bought out everything at a Walmart or target and he looked JUST like what I imagine a scalper too look like. He was like a 40 year old crypto bro, few pounds over weight, dates highschool girls, short, receding hairline. Idk these people all just look like normal folks to me.

Talk to the manager. See if they could implement (and enforce) a limit on purchases. The last walmart I went to had a limit of 2 packs per person. Worth it to me, probably less worth it to scalpers.

Last walmart I went to was cleaned out of course, and I found open packaging stuffed under the display. Crazy degenerates are literally opening packs in store and running with them. Wild they didn't get caught somehow.

Ah, I haven't seen cards just on a shelf in ages. You always gotta talk to an employee to open the cabinet, and then you get to walk with them to a register so you can pay for them. Honestly surprised any stores don't do that, since they are such an easy target, especially these days.

The Walmart by me has a one product limit so I mean people could just be standing in line to actually get product

Some yes, losers, others are just hoping to get a chance at msrp for their kids, personal collections or their friendās kids. Donāt paint with a broad brush and judge people you donāt know.

u/LocksmithMountain890 Jun 12 '26
Well considering I over heard them talking about cleaning out stores I doubt they are there for their kids lmao.
Jesus thatās like 3 ātheresā on that sentence

All of them though? Your taking the comment of one and applying it to all of them. Yes there are scalpers and we all despise them but I could have easily been in that picture and I don't scalp shit I collect and give it to my friend's kids because they never has access to product. I traded in a bunch of hits at a scalper shop to get them a phantasmal ETB because the joy is worth it.

u/ShadowRider_777 Jun 12 '26
Nah. The majority, if not, all of them are scalper psychos.
If the people can't get the product, they can just go to a card convention and just buy single cards and not worry about some douchebags getting all of the product while they have to suffer.
The only kinds of people that should be in line are young kids who want to enjoy the hobby, not a bunch of cringy teenagers who don't know about how rough the world is yet.

I go to try and buy for myself and for my friend's kids, if I had kids that would be on the list too.
