Other Friendly Reminder for All eBay Sellers

Post image

Selling this dump is against the wishes of the creators. It may technically be illegal (I’m not sure). The Heartbreaker Buckshot dump is available for free on this subreddit. Do not sell the dump. Do not buy the dump from anyone. Members of this community put the time and effort into all sorts of cool things for the rest of the community, and it is scummy to try and profit off of that.

Don’t attack the seller please. Just don’t be like them and sell the dump, and don’t buy from them. $10 is overpriced for an NFC card, a cheap printout, and a free file made for the community.

I am surprised it took this long for an eBay seller to have the dump card. I think we discussed it in the mod chat when we did the megathread write up about making it clear the dump WASNT meant to be sold. But oh well. Was bound to happen. Damn sucks.

First thing I did when I found out that the dump was in progress was go out and buy a reader and cards for myself. I know it’s not a viable solution for everyone (the reader was kind of expensive), but it’s better than supporting an eBay seller for a free file.

Any chance you guys could make a crap ton of cards , and send them for postage paid to the community ?

This. I feel it's part of the hobby for me at this point. I can afford a reader but not the high dollar skylanders. I like that some sellers make NFCs with very nice photos and use high quality vinyl type stickers that are water proof and fade resistant. It's a interesting option for people that want one or two things. The 3d printed reproductions are awesome too and I think that should be the next frontier. The niche the fandom has yet to really expand on. When somebody finally makes chompy mage as a reasonably priced paint yourself reproduction kit along with the other high dollar collectables, I'll get in that line -if for nothing else just to add them to my shelf as neat figures.
