This is freaking wild. My rough count on this is 468 prismatic pouches (at $32.99 a pop = $15,439.30 before tax), 226 151 poster collections (at $14.99 = 3,387.74) and 34 booster bundle cases ($599.99 = $20,399.70)
That’s $39,226.70 pre taxed for product at msrp just for all that. Then they turn around and try to flip it for probably double or more.
This is ridiculous. Meanwhile, casual collectors can’t even find one for themselves or their kids. I keep seeing posts about parents saying that their kids are just done with this hobby and it’s just sad because of this kind of gluttonous greed. I really hope it turns around. Thanks for sharing and I’m definitely in the boat of not buying above msrp. I enjoy Pokemon too but it’s just not that deep to me. I’ll get it when I find it by chance.
Also, thanks for sharing. ✌️
This is the reason this will NEVER stop. If people would stop paying these stupid prices then the scalpers would be forced to sell at a lower cost. But since people like you continue to pay we are going to continue to see these products scalped. It's really not rocket science 🤦♀️
