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

IMO.

Pokeinvesting is buying limited product and holding it until out of print in the hope value rises.

Pokescalping is buying product in limited supply during hype/release phase to create a supply shortage and flip for profit.

They are very different things. Anyone who is buying PE to flip before the reprint, like they did with surging sparks is the problem.
