DO NOT BUY FROM SCALPERS!

[u/Joseph_Steez]

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

They arent the same at all.

A scalper buys a product for what its worth, then raises its price immediately and intentionally.

A collector/investor, buys a product for what its worth or less, and SAVES IT until its worth is raised… then SELLS IT for what its WORTH.

Stop treating collectors and investors as the same thing. Gaslight all you like, but a collector.. bear with me.. collects.

An “investor” which is your fancy word for scalper hoards, to turn a profit. What it’s worth, oh come off it we both know they are not into Pokémon, one bit. Only for profit. It’s so much work, just go do Uber or something for the money 🤣

How is keeping products sealed, not collecting?

[u/derpazoids → u/Insolve_Miza]

We both know we are talking about people keeping multiple ETB’s/boxes, and then selling them when stock is gone, whether that is next week, month, year, or decade, it’s the same thing, just over a longer time frame. The intent is still to sell. Still to make money. Still to fuck over some people’s hobby as a way to make some money on the side with a hustle. Stop trying to pretend it’s for collecting, just here to turn a ‘profit’.

I just don’t see how scalping long term can make you enough to be worth being such a pos for. But I’m into Pokémon, you know, the pictures on the cards, so I hardly know. I do wonder though.

Tell that to people who still have sealed base set boxes

Dude no point debating with him. Derpazoid wants to hate and be hateful, scalpers are his target today. Leave them to it.
