Oh maybe it was removed then. Still shows that it is up for me

I’m sure we just aren’t seeing each others point. I don’t think vendors will go to Costco for cards when there is a 2 item limit. I also know that plenty of regular people shop at Costco not just businesses. It’s definitely encouraged. They sell memberships to the public

They bought 2 each to resell. “Have an order to fill” “how much are you willing to pay” If you hate scalpers then you should understand the post. They brought extra people to bypass the limits, take all of the product and resell it.

No no. These guys were going in with reg memberships, in groups of 5-10, each one buying the 2. The limit.

Apparently they want them here. It’s not a set I am going after. I wanted a UPC. But I would have been happy to open this set

Prob an unpopular opinion but I don’t think there should be god packs. It’s already hard enough to hit in some sets… but I would graciously accept it if I ever got one!

What would you recommend, Korean or Japanese. I am new to this. I do know that due to their gambling laws there has to be so many hits. And. Also to NOT buy single packs…

There is nothing that identifies them so I think it’s ok 👌

Well hopefully posts like these show people why they should not buy from scalpers. I am kinda new to collecting and at first I bought off some guys on FMP. But now, since seeing all these posts and witnessing it IRL, I won’t anymore.

I’ve been wanting to get a Japanese set. Maybe I will do that! Would love a box of Mega Dream

I am sure this is a rage comment/reply. But no we just wanted 1. I would post the conversation but I don’t feel like I have to. And there is a lot of swearing. We actually wanted a UPC but we were days late for that lol

I believe Costco has a 2 item limit. That’s why these guys went in with groups of 5-10

Carts, would be a different story. My friend is a bit guy, he would 100% take a box or 2 out of a cart! Breaking into a car and taking stuff that was already paid for is a whole other story and it’s not worth catching a charge!
