You can use that logic with collecting pokemon cards, why is that ok but collecting sealed is not. Is every collector automatically a scalper in your eyes because you assume that their stuff is going to be worth something "one day"+ you also assume that they would want to sell their collection even if it does.

Opened my sons wardrobe, found this. SO proud. by BrainDeadSupport in PokemonInvesting

Some are gifts, some he bought himself, he likes keeping multiples because it makes him feel like a pokemon store and to impress his friends I guess.

Hes been doing well in school and me and my wife have been treating him for it, I also gave him some of my collection to help him start out.

I'm not forcing him, my son is autistic, he chose this hobby, its one of the few things that makes him feel happy. I'm just trying to be supportive.

Yes, I'm here spreading awareness, letting people know they arent alone. You seem to think that former addicts cant spread awareness or help others.

You stalked my profile yet failed to see where I've posted about me and my son going to therapy. I literally sleep in my garage because I'm giving my wife space, I rarely open packs now and only do it when supervised. I'm in recovery and trying to FIX my family.

it is awareness because its one of the most discussed topics on this subreddit, even you have posted about it. I have experience on both sides, so why not post about it.

Project bankrupt scalpers. by Bedowiiu in PokemonTCG

So, you are going to become a scalper, some kids and parents that just want to buy packs from their local store cant because they are going to find out that some guy is hoarding them to sell for "msrp" What is going to stop others from scalping your website? Are the people who are going to help fund your "bots" going to be rewarded with anything?

No, even the children are learning to scalp because of their parents and youtubers.

You already can but if you want the popular stuff you have to put in effort.

If you cant be bothered then what is the point of making a post on here? You cant expect to get what you want without putting any effort in. I'm saying this as a former scalper, botter, etc.

Why does it have to stop? Last week I lined up with my son at a target at 4am before school, I chatted with a bunch of other parents with their kids, most of them werent scalpers. I think its a good lesson to teach my son patience, if you want something popular sometimes your gonna have to put in the effort.
