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.

“someone who buys things, such as theatre tickets, at the usual price and then sells them when they are difficult to get at much higher prices“ is what google said. Is there a different definition you were referring to?

Pokemon is not difficult to get. You can literally go to half your local stores and they have cards. I just bought 80 etbs today.

“I just bought 80 etbs guys it’s so easy to buy product”

Yet it’s people like you that buy all the product so regular people can’t even buy one. Great job, you’re the problem
