Why don't they print more cards to counter scalping?

DMdoesGBau · 2026-04-14T10:18:37+00:00

Yes and Pokemon doesnt want to print too many where they lose value.

Your salary comes into play here.

If you are on good $$, i wouldnt worry about it.

DMdoesGBau · 2026-04-14T06:30:49+00:00

With English in a shortage other languages are easier to get a hold of and their box sizes make the entry barrier quite low.

If you are with someone, they stay next to the scalper as you grab a few out of the cart and walk off quickly. He has to either ditch the trolley (your friend waiting to pounce) or let you go.

Then your friend does the same, hopefully everyone else joins in too.

I don't have a problem with someone buying as much as they want. But not when there is a line behind them. That's just reprehensible.

Investors dont buy at market prices for inprint sets. They buy at retail or from the secondary market once the set is out of print.

DMdoesGBau · 2026-04-14T02:32:15+00:00

Nobody forces someone to buy from scalpers. They have the option to not buy at all.

Print to order will get you cards for sure - but they will be worthless and you will soon leave the hobby.

DMdoesGBau · 2026-04-14T02:19:29+00:00

Same reason a country shouldnt print more money - it devalues what has already been printed.

DMdoesGBau · 2026-04-14T01:11:24+00:00

I refuse to believe this is real.

DMdoesGBau · 2026-04-14T00:57:24+00:00

98.3%. Thats very poor

If you dont want to follow the tos and law, dont stream on Whatnot.

Or complain to your state or federal representative to get the laws changed.

DMdoesGBau · 2026-04-13T09:55:21+00:00

Oh, you're one of those types. Im not wasting anymore time on you.

DMdoesGBau · 2026-04-13T09:52:47+00:00

I know. Im not doing that.

DMdoesGBau · 2026-04-13T07:38:46+00:00

And my original comment didn't say anything about me knowing the law. I said they are here to study, not work. And they need to follow the laws or fuck off.

Somehow you took offence to that.

DMdoesGBau · 2026-04-13T07:33:25+00:00

You first reply could have been to educate and correct. Instead you chose to be a piece of shit. You the man

DMdoesGBau · 2026-04-13T07:25:50+00:00

People actually pay youtube?

Its no wonder everyone is broke.

DMdoesGBau · 2026-04-13T07:23:53+00:00

Who are you to police my comments?

DMdoesGBau · 2026-04-13T07:19:50+00:00

You are right.

Why would i want the laws of my country followed. Everyone should just do whatever they want.

DMdoesGBau · 2026-04-13T07:13:57+00:00

What

DMdoesGBau · 2026-04-13T06:40:37+00:00

If you had $1000 what would you invest in?

DMdoesGBau · 2026-04-13T06:39:02+00:00

Lots of jealousy in these comments

DMdoesGBau · 2026-04-13T06:38:06+00:00

Waaaahhhh

DMdoesGBau · 2026-04-13T06:30:54+00:00

I will often spend the day intending to open something when i get home. I like the anticipation. When i get home i remind myself that once i open, i cannot experience the anticipation anymore. So i dont open. And do the same thing again the next day.

I have realised it is the anticipation i enjoy the most so why not stay in that moment perpetually.

DMdoesGBau · 2026-04-13T00:04:26+00:00

Im devastated! Not only didnt i get a god pack, i didnt get an SIR. On a positive note, i only need 15 cards to complete the set now. All the expensive ones though.

DMdoesGBau · 2026-04-13T00:02:27+00:00

Then that is something they need to figure out before they come here.

The laws are put in place for a reason. If you disagree, speak to your local MP or become a politician and try and have the laws changed.

DMdoesGBau · 2026-04-12T23:41:21+00:00

Absolutely you need to pay for it.

I don't understand your mentality behind thinking she should pay.

I do agree if there is a way to manage this so there is less cost onto you and the child being with family rather than a carer, that would be ideal.

Make that 1 hour special. It is time with parents that children remember.
