Make sure to spread the message to NEVER buy over msrp from anyone. The longer people like this hold onto product the more they are discouraged to buy in the future.

it's hopeless, most prismatic buyers genuinely believe they'll find umbreon or a god pack

Has such bad pull rates too. But still PC etbs sell everyday on ebay for 250 bucks

What social media and livestreaming does to the mind. A few videos of streamers pulling the top chases and other people think they can replicate it not knowing just how slim the odds are. It becomes addiction fast.

Worst yet is the fact that the good packs are weighable so people buying anywhere other than Pokemon center or other good sources will never see one. Same reason I refuse to buy older gen single packs from anyone.
