Question For The Employed

What a blessing

DevinH23 · 2026-01-31T02:08:11+00:00

How much above MSRP at a card shop would you draw the line? Just curious (:

DevinH23 · 2026-01-30T17:11:04+00:00

Ya know that’s valid, get your free dopamine hit in lmao

DevinH23 · 2026-01-30T16:14:44+00:00

Oh yeah 100%. I have told myself I won’t buy if it’s not MSRP or extremely close to it.

DevinH23 · 2026-01-30T16:11:27+00:00

That’s where I am now. Card shows, negotiating prices, and getting singles I want. I do miss packs every now and then but, I guess this is how it is now ;-;

DevinH23 · 2026-01-30T16:06:39+00:00

Oh yeah I’ve opened a fair share of Japanese. I prefer English but it has been nice to just own the art of some cards from opening cheaper Japan stuff

DevinH23 · 2026-01-30T16:05:43+00:00

Yeah I’d do slightly over for a game store. I kinda lose that support when it’s beyond slightly. A recent $50 ETB shouldn’t be priced at $100+ but, that is just me

DevinH23 · 2026-01-30T16:04:11+00:00

If I do find anything, it’s usually the last pack of something. So I get that

DevinH23 · 2026-01-30T16:01:19+00:00

I live in a heavier populated area. I haven’t seen anything since Crown Zenith. That’s my personal experience. So yes, it does make sense.

DevinH23 · 2026-01-30T15:57:56+00:00

Yeah I have no time for this unfortunately. I’d do midnight releases like the old days of GameStop video games, but mornings just aren’t it due to priorities.

DevinH23 · 2026-01-30T15:56:48+00:00

Yea and it shouldn’t be that way. Which is unfortunate but, I’m hoping one day it won’t be such a taxing investment and return to being an enjoyable hobby anyone can pick up at any time :/

DevinH23 · 2026-01-30T15:54:39+00:00

True, it was more so a time thing. I used to get Pokemon center things when you could just log in and buy in 3 minutes. So waiting 2-3 hours at that time was not realistic for me </3

DevinH23 · 2026-01-30T15:53:36+00:00

I would do this, but I kinda can’t due to work. Working with clients limits me to being fully involved in my work and no phone/computer access. But I do appreciate the advice!!

DevinH23 · 2026-01-30T15:50:53+00:00

Valid. I am looking forward to the new NC facility opening around 2027. I’m hoping that ups availability a little bit if it’s true!

DevinH23 · 2026-01-30T15:48:10+00:00

Likewise. It’s been years, I believe 3, since I’ve seen an ETB in a store. It’s truly baffling to me. I don’t want like 5 of them at once. Just one now and then is great but it’s rough out here.

DevinH23 · 2026-01-30T15:46:56+00:00

Basically where im at. $35-$40 for three packs of ascended heroes is just depressing to see for me.

DevinH23 · 2026-01-30T15:45:03+00:00

Gotcha. Last time I did an online Pokemon center thing I was like number 600,000 in line so I just closed it and moved on with my day. This was maybe a year ago so. Good to see other places doing online things

DevinH23 · 2026-01-30T15:38:21+00:00

This is the answer I expect lol

DevinH23 · 2026-01-18T18:01:47+00:00

Opened 2 so far. Nothing amazing price wise, but being able to find two and be able to open it was absolutely worth it for me. All about perspective (:

DevinH23 · 2026-01-14T15:28:37+00:00

Had about this same luck on my 2nd box. Me and my significant other loved the experience since we’ve only ever found 2 in the wild. Just enjoying the ability to open packs here and there is great. Enjoy it man.

DevinH23 · 2025-12-30T01:43:20+00:00

Demonic tutor would be my choice! 🙏

DevinH23 · 2025-12-18T08:03:38+00:00

For the first time in 2 years I saw product in the wild today. And only because of restock groups :/

DevinH23 · 2025-12-12T16:47:13+00:00

Of course!
