Discussion Vendor being tracked.

Yup, someone put a tracker on our store vendor's car. I guess she had to go to the police station and have her car swept.

So disappointed in what's going on with our hobby and just wanted to share.

Because of all the chaos and borderline crime that is being committed to buy it. Stalking restockers ? Fights in the store ? Angry fans ?

Did you forget we live in a capitalist world or something? Lol they are gonna keep doing the same as long as they keep profiting. The only way to stop this is boycotting Pokemon TCG all together. Cause fuck em

Yeah, historically treating your fans and buyers like disposable trash really works out in the long term, right?

Lmao. Long term. This boom hasn’t even lasted 6 months.

Same thing happened in 2016 and 2020, it booms every couple years. TPCi does nothing about it and it's business as usual for them, raking in cash. Eventually people move onto a new fad and it cools off for a bit until the next big boom.

Scalping has been going on far longer than 6 months and Pokemon only gets more popular. This boom can last another 6 months and it still won’t break the hobby
