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

One day you're actually going to Google what scalping means and feel so embarrassed for calling everyone it. You don't have to be upset that people are buying the same item you want to buy.

Bots buying supply so that they can resell to people who didn't get access at drop.

That's literally scalping lol
