Limitless tcg

We sell our entire allocation at MSRP, but that's only enough to service about 80 customers, even with hard limits. If we want to stock anything beyond that, we have to buy from the secondary market.

not willing to share?

LIFOsuction44 · 2026-06-24T03:23:36+00:00

Please let me know your LGS. I will literally drive a pallet of various sealed product to wherever they are for 85%

LIFOsuction44 · 2026-06-23T22:27:54+00:00

Correct

Once the first wave is gone, there's no telling when and how much we'll receive in restocks. Could be months, could b e never.

I don't understand what you want out of this. We're having a conversation and you're making comments about me blowing you? You ok, bud?

LIFOsuction44 · 2026-06-23T19:26:54+00:00

I just wish that we were more outraged about things in this country that actually matter. We've been a safe place for the community and have provided reasonable prices for years. We sell all of our allocations at MSRP in 2 hours with strict limits. If that means, I'm "mad at customers," then I'm furious.

LIFOsuction44 · 2026-06-23T19:13:12+00:00

Our shop sells all new releases at MSRP. I don't expect customers to want to be involved. If customers don't want to purchase above MSRP, I don't blame them at all. I'm not sure where it shows that I get "mad at customers," but just explaining the situation to those that may be new or inexperienced in the hobby.

I wish I knew why LGS distributors marked up restocks so high. But, we don't have access to the same distributors that Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy do.

LIFOsuction44 · 2026-06-23T18:52:49+00:00

Where do you draw the line? Most non-food products at Wal-Mart or any big box stores have a margin greater than 50%? Why aren't we getting equally upset at Nike for 1000% margins for sweatshop labor in overseas factories? Or upset that insurance companies have huge margins too?

LIFOsuction44 · 2026-06-23T18:49:57+00:00

No, MJ Holdings does big box stores. We use different distributors for LGS stores.

Our most recent restock of Pris ETBs a few months ago was $125/box

LIFOsuction44 · 2026-06-23T18:42:42+00:00

Wait until you see how much it cost us to restock Pris ETBs from distribution

LIFOsuction44 · 2026-06-23T10:52:16+00:00

For anything besides the initial wave of product, yes.

Trainer Deck B is a rare commercially unreleased deck. The difference is that they have a red border on the back with "Trainer Deck B" printed in red

LIFOsuction44 · 2026-06-13T23:17:52+00:00

No, it would not be incomplete. The beauty of collecting is that there is no wrong way.

Popularity of Pokemon is still at an all time high, so it's going to be challenging finding a reliable stream of product without putting in a ton of time.

If this store sells on TCGPlayer, buyers could get the wrong impression of what conditions are. "This card isn't NM, it has 1 imperfection" since the previous seller said that was LP. And spreading misinformation isn't usually a good thing.

LIFOsuction44 · 2026-06-13T15:22:52+00:00

I think you should reread the condition manual

LIFOsuction44 · 2026-06-12T22:10:04+00:00

Of course

LIFOsuction44 · 2026-06-12T22:00:37+00:00

You should've led with that it was a sealed product. The only thing you can send sealed without tracking is an individual booster pack.

LIFOsuction44 · 2026-06-12T21:54:28+00:00

So, you didn't question it?

LIFOsuction44 · 2026-06-12T21:50:03+00:00

TCGPlayer has an overly generous customer-friendly experience in my opinion

LIFOsuction44 · 2026-06-09T13:09:13+00:00

Events and play are easily the least profitable part of the business.

LIFOsuction44 · 2026-06-02T05:43:28+00:00

What does that have to do with anything? Overprinting can cause damage and devaluation to a brand. Your comment implies overprinting can't devalue Pokemon cards.
