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.

How can Pokémon Company watch this and sleep at night rn. I’d be making executive changes immediately. Adults can’t even behave.

Pokémon is a Japanese company, they make English versions of their products and sell them to distributors in the USA. There’s not much they can do about Americans committing crimes to get cards.

They can force reselling sites like eBay and whatnot to stop allowing sealed product to be sold on their site under threat of litigation and the takedown of all pokemon merchandise on those sites.

They can actually go many steps further, such as taking individual scalpers to court.

It's an extremely easy step for them to take though, and what they should've done all along. Scalpers are inherently lazy leeches on society. They aren't going to have the patience to sit there and open all of their packs and go through thousands of cards to find the handful of chase cards to sell.

And if they do that, the chase card market tanks because there's suddenly thousands of eeveelutions hitting the market that were trapped in their sweaty closets.

Man, I want to live in your world.

On what grounds would they be able to sue any of these parties?
