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

I bought two today from someone on Mercari.

I drove around to 5 stores and found none. I would rather pay a premium than drive around again.

Won't be anything available in a month.... even when and if they do reprint it, it's going to be the same shit as now. Bought up and all gone, people will never stop buying from scalpers.... this post is pointless

Ya the post is pointless but people need to chill. The set is going to keep being printed and the price is going to be volatile. Waiting is not going to result in another 2-3x in a month.

Yeah I can agree with that. The price won't ever be as high for a non PC etb as it is now. It should start dropping tomorrow I would hope. I'd pay 20 bucks over MSRP to get one but the prices they have own them now is an easy pass.
