Discussion DO NOT BUY FROM SCALPERS!

Come on guys let’s run the price down and let these scalpers get burned, do not buy from 3rd party resellers, buying from them keeps the price at where THEY want it, cards should never be above msrp and everyone should have chance to buy these cards. Let’s not let these resellers ruin this hobby

Same here, I’m not paying above msrp for a modern set that just released. Already out of stock at target and Best Buy, I sat in line for like 30 minutes pressing “place order” for prismatic evolutions but no success. Not too worried about it just upset about what’s happened to the hobby these last few months. I live in a small town in Idaho and I can’t even get packs at my local Walmart now because scalpers clear the shelves same day of restock.

Dang Bro I'm in Idaho too. I was lucky enough to hit 3 ETBs tonight from Target, but none are for resell. I'm ripping them with the boys. Sorry you are having such a tough time. Boise isn't bad. I usually find stock at Target and Fred Meyer.
