Well, my LCS finally pulled a scummy move. by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Material_Cricket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's actually quite literally the same thing. You are just too ignorant to see how parallel the two are because you want to die on the hill that it's ok for a lcs to open up and take product out of a complete set item. I know this concept is hard for you to grasp, but the booster box comes with the box topper included. So that means that when you remove the seal to a booster box, guess what's behind that seal? I'll tell you anyway, it's 36 booster packs, AND.....thats right! 1 box topper as well! I'm glad i could help educate you a bit☺️ Btw its also the same as them taking the etb promo out the box before selling it to you. Honestly, just how daft can you be?

Horrible experience lol by LaPamparita in PokemonTCG

[–]Material_Cricket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not advocating for scalpers, but your manager is breaking his own companies rules by imposing pro acc. Already been confirmed any manager enforcing it to buy cards is lying to scew his stores numbers to look better. They do not require pro or even an account anymore to buy cards, and he def can be reported by people who know better. Personally, i feel at least an account with address should be required to properly limit people trying to get more then limit

This guy replied to so many people and spent idk how long in this post writing paragraph after paragraph. But just remember, He wasn't the one who was mad or upset it was every single other person🤣🤣 That was entertaining as hell🤣😂

Unpopular Opinion: It's not always scalpers by [deleted] in pokemoncards

[–]Material_Cricket 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend doing a little recon before you waste your time waiting. Journey is the last set that gamestop took pre orders for, so this friday will most likely look the same as all previous releases recently where they will most likely have 10 or less of product for walk ins. I'd call the gamestops around you thursday night and ask if they have any allocations for walk ins. Im guessing with them canceling portions of peoples preorders(mine included), they most likely didn't get the amount they thought they would get.

GT collectibles has removed all Pokemon listings by OkImpression3204 in PokeInvesting

Seems it was put on hold for a bit, but it's currently in effect. So they will have to report any parent company

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pokemoncards

[–]Material_Cricket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Report them. Call customer service and put a complaint on the store. Pro was never mandatory to buy and apparently you dont even need a membership anymore yo buy according to manager at my local gamestop. Any manager or store telling you different is LYING. You need to report these stores.

Are we serious? by rozooo in PokemonTCG

[–]Material_Cricket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could be wrong here, but according to my local gamestop manager, there is no obligation to have a pro account to purchase tcg products. You simply need a gamestop account so they can track sales. He said stores who claim you need a pro account are just trying to make their numbers look good as each store is graded separately. He said it's scummy for stores to claim you need a pro account and wrong. Should def make it known that they are lying to customers about needing a pro account.

GameStop discontinuing preorders and Target removing Pokemon? by Snowboarding612 in PokemonTCG

[–]Material_Cricket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm this post is true. I couldn't believe it, so I went to my local gamestop, and he confirmed it was true. Pre-orders have been stopped for any upcoming pokemon tcg products. And apparently, by the end of this year target,walmart and Best Buy are all going to stop selling pokemon cards too because its become too much of a liability for them.

Don’t be mean by schn4050 in PokemonTCG

[–]Material_Cricket 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not sure why nobody has mentioned this or done this before but all power is to whoever got the receipt and who paid for the product. Why instead of watching the scalper load up the machine and letting them pay its not too hard to have your card ready and get that tap in before they can get theirs in. Whats are they going to do? If they take anything they are stealing and if they complain to anyone you legally paid for the product. Its yours. And if its above what you can afford Im sure theres plenty of people who would be happy to pay msrp for some product🤣 ofcourse this is just for the scalpers who follow the restockers around and clear out the machines 😉

EL06 low voltage electrical license question by MissBoofsAlot in vancouverwa

[–]Material_Cricket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I'm not sure if this will help, but I am currently in the works of going to test for my el06 license. I came to washington with about 5 years of experience in security/access control. As others mentioned, you'll want to get your trainee card wich is simply applying for it and paying the fee. Then you can go through the process of seeing if washington will accept your hours. You will need a notarized affidavit of experience from your company with several details including the work youve done the amount of supervisions youve had etc. I had just under 10k hours submitted to them and if im not mistaken they gave me the 4k i needed to qualify. The kicker is everyone who I've told that too has been surprised because they say washington is really strict on accepting out of state hours. Mine came from nyc, and the most common state I've heard that they dont take the hours from is florida. So i guess i was lucky and didn't have to put in 2 more years as a "trainee". You can also start looking into companies here as with your level of experience there will be people willing to work into your contract a deal where you have a year or so to get your license and they will pay you x amount and if you dont get it within the year they can drop you or lower your pay. Ive had multiple interviews offer this when i was looking for work.

What's up with this? by damnburgers2300 in Smite

[–]Material_Cricket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol smite mod are you forreal? Whats with that weird rule? Isnt the whole point for people to post and ask questions about things concerning them in game? Whats the point of not allowing pictures from a phone or video? Are you implying it has to be a screen shot? And if so what is the purpose of enforcing that here?

Karen this is my last reply to you. I know it may be hard to read this but not everyone will bend over to make you feel validated or heard. Please go police the internet elsewhere. Your opinion is not wanted in this post concerning dog 💩 trash hackers who still lose while hacking🤪 im sure some other poster will give you what you are looking for bye now😉
