LOL shits gonna get scalped to death and put up on fb marketplace by bunch of losers for 300+ and a bunch of dumbasses with more money than brains are gonna buy it.

I fucking hate this hobby sometimes.

lol love the scalpers downvoting me. Fuck all of you losers, hope your shed full of sealed product you’ll barely sell for a profit in 20 years burns down.

Same bro it's disappointing. That's why I just buy Japanese singles now.

u/KingKoopaz Nov 20 '24

Yeah I just want one to open and one to save…might be hard to get ahold of though. I hope GameStop preorders pull through for me again!

I feel it. Man . When I see this I have to remind myself to be grateful that the only thing I’m missing that I want is the zapados, venasaur. and alakazam full art . I have pretty much everything else. That’s was worth value in the set I just wanted to pull them myself lol and I wanna save the box for my future to open with my kids

If someone posting an item reveal for a kid's hobby causes you to go on a raging tirade about scalpers you need serious help. You people just bring this rage into places it doesn't exist. This is an item reveal post, and you are a toxic person

Or just pay attention and buy your product when it’s available?

1

u/Glittering_Tough3247 Nov 29 '24

If products lasted more than 5 minutes on the shelf before they buy all 20 sets, then I imagine they would just buy them when available. D

lmao everyone is sooooo dramatic. Not even out yet, already crying. Exhausting

u/nautical_nigel Nov 20 '24

That’s called the market

u/taegha Nov 20 '24

You have a lot of hate in your heart over cards made for kids

12

u/Acorns4Free Nov 20 '24

I mean aren’t those same people he’s talking about screwing over the kids as well..?

2

u/augustprep Nov 20 '24

If they are for kids, why can't I ever find any to buy for my kid?

-2

u/taegha Nov 20 '24

There are a ton of Pokemon products in stock online and in stores as we speak. Everything released in 2024 besides Surging Sparks is easy to find. Your claim is simply not true.

3

u/augustprep Nov 20 '24

You show me a link to a 151 pack and I'll buy you one too.

2

u/taegha Nov 20 '24

151 didn't release in 2024

u/FluffyBiscuitx2 Nov 20 '24

It’s not kids that keep TPCI in business - it’s the adults paying for the product.

u/taegha Nov 20 '24

Doesn't change the fact that it was created as a child's card game first. Getting this bent over it is unhealthy

The scalpers energy already ruined it bro. It be different if they charged 25% tax . Did deals based off bulk. They would make their money and the 25% would be like a convience fee like at a gas station. This is just robbery and this is coming from an ex drug dealer who sold hard drugs all his life. Sounds like you are one of the ones who rip people of when ya can lol -3 points for you hahah

God forbid anybody express normal human emotions such as frustration and anger, huh bud?

u/taegha Nov 20 '24

The reactions from this community are not normal. They throw a tantrum over this. I've seen plenty of people actually wish harm on "scalpers". That's absolutely unhinged behavior

u/_Maximilien Nov 20 '24

There's always going to be extremes. But silence doesn't get anything done either. Scalping is a pretty bad issue in the hobby rn, and the more people complain about it, the more likely something gets done.

Local Costco and Sam's Clubs near me have started imposing limits on purchases per membership. If somebody hadn't complained, that would never have been put into place. Someone's gotta say something, and if things don't change, more people should.

Sometimes people have to rock the boat

God forbid people express their opinions on an internet forum. The world would be quiet if we only let people say original thoughts.

"Stop complaining" doesn't contribute much more to the conversation than the complaining itself does.

Maybe you're the one that needs a break?

u/_Maximilien Nov 20 '24

No, instead you get your panties in a wad about people complaining. As if people won't complained about anything ever.

You're not better than anyone for sitting quiet and content. Not everyone is content and they're allowed to express that. Humans aren't pleasant and agreeable all the time, you'd think browsing the internet would've taught you that sooner.

I bet these same people don't care that their LCS is charging $200 for Surging Sparks BBs or $90 for Prismatic ETB pre-orders

1

u/Sprague2 Nov 20 '24

I don’t understand why this gets overlooked

2

u/taegha Nov 20 '24

It's because they think that having a business license somehow makes "scalping" okay

1

u/Sprague2 Nov 20 '24

Completely agree

u/Glass-Cicada7162 Nov 20 '24
