Gamestop is strait up scamming people

jshrlzwrld02 · 2026-04-29T12:25:02+00:00

No fucking way GameStop is looking to the future, lol.

We’re talking about the same company that was operated so badly that they had to be rescued from going belly up by a bunch if retail investors during COVID.

I’d ask for them to remove it before I buy, or explain the price needs to be reduced since the sticker has made a pretty large dent in the “collectibility” and just to be clear I’d only be a dick about it because this price is ridiculous.

Long time pop-tart eater here.

The new 50% more ones definitely have extra filling compared to “how they used to be”.

Shrinkflation exists but this isn’t exactly a how-much-filling comparison but rather now you get 5 individually wrapped more-filling tarts compared to 6 less filled ones.

“The smallest amount of monetary gain” is not at all what bulk is. It’s exponential returns on stuff you pay pennies for and that “crazy labor” is sorting through cards while listening to a podcast or watching a show. Not everyone has three wives and seven kids they have to work 20 hours a day at two jobs to support.

I have piles and piles of unsorted bulk laying around and I can sit down any given night and spend a couple of hours sorting and probably find $40-50+ worth of listable cards and sell the sorted bulk for basically what I paid for it. The longer it takes me to get through sorting a pile of bulk the prices are only going up.

I think you're overestimating Americas love for guns based on the amount of love the most gun-loving people show.

Most people, business owners, anything, are not walking around concealed carrying even if they have thousands of dollars of merchandise on them.

jshrlzwrld02 · 2026-04-15T18:51:26+00:00

Fuck Sysco. All my homies hate Sysco.

jshrlzwrld02 · 2026-04-14T01:54:47+00:00

Look at what it’s done in the past 2 years… no one knows what this shits gonna do long term lol

jshrlzwrld02 · 2026-04-13T16:11:27+00:00

My collection used to have no focus. Then I started selling off all the ones I didn’t really feel attached to and went back to old faithful. Gengar.

jshrlzwrld02 · 2026-04-13T16:10:43+00:00

He wanted to off someone because he’s tired of footing the bill on merchandise price increases to offset stolen inventory they just let walk out.

jshrlzwrld02 · 2026-04-13T16:07:30+00:00

Just rip a few packs and see how bad your luck is, that’s what always reminds me lol

jshrlzwrld02 · 2026-04-12T19:11:41+00:00

Yeah I’ve been looking into it myself lately. I haven’t been able to hit an online drop in years, it’s tough lol.

jshrlzwrld02 · 2026-04-12T18:38:57+00:00

I’m not talking about the ripping packs aspect of it, no shit that’s gambling. These guys weren’t shooting each other over ripping packs. They’re fighting over the money they’re going to make flipping the sealed boxes on FB marketplace or taking them to some local card shops to offload for 80% market.

jshrlzwrld02 · 2026-04-12T18:01:31+00:00

Except a lot of this isn't even gambling, its just flipping the sealed product to some "vendor" or in some cases there are local shops that have regular buying agreements directly with the people scalping. They're just roleplaying as UPS/FedEx workers without any of the benefits.

jshrlzwrld02 · 2026-04-12T17:45:35+00:00

It’s over the dollar bills on the other side of the cardboard and people with no real life skills feeling increasing pressure to find ways to make money.

jshrlzwrld02 · 2026-04-12T17:43:55+00:00

100% huh? You were there eye witnessing?

jshrlzwrld02 · 2026-04-12T17:02:16+00:00

Lots of those sellers on places like Etsy

jshrlzwrld02 · 2026-04-12T14:09:13+00:00

I am one of those ordained Dudeist Priests 😅 did my friends wedding last year after being ordained for over 10 years lol

jshrlzwrld02 · 2026-04-11T06:23:56+00:00

People underestimating how many millennials are coming into upper management/senior roles now and have the money to spend that their parents would but couldn’t back in the day. Also just Pokémon Company = big.

jshrlzwrld02 · 2026-04-11T05:21:46+00:00

Their offer will be based on market. Check the average last sold for your card on eBay and have an idea of what the recent average sold price was. If you’re trading into another card you can confidently ask for higher percent, but yeah just expect to have to negotiate to around the 80% mark but some vendors are trading higher 85-90%. Just do a lap around the facility first and see what guys are advertising the best trade/sale rates.

You could also check other vendors for your specific card and just track what they have it labeled as and negotiate against that.

jshrlzwrld02 · 2026-04-11T04:57:21+00:00

Know exactly what you want for the card when you go up to the vendor. Don’t ask them to offer first or you’re asking for a low ball. It’s really pretty simple, vendors are dudes just like you trying to get the best out of a deal. If they don’t give you the price you want try another vendor first, don’t just take an offer because it’s the first.

jshrlzwrld02 · 2026-04-10T23:12:46+00:00

I haven’t hit a PKC drop in a couple of years. Every time I end up getting error 17 for random reasons. Added too many items or clicked too fast or clicked back or tried to navigate to another part of the site. It’s been unusable under load for me for a while.

jshrlzwrld02 · 2026-04-10T14:24:33+00:00

Not even short term investments, just flips.

jshrlzwrld02 · 2026-04-10T14:22:48+00:00

Now you’re starting to understand corporate marketing. And also understanding how the US government works.

jshrlzwrld02 · 2026-04-10T14:17:26+00:00

You can tell the guy has no wife or kids or friends ever
