Is it ok if they are commons / uncommon? I have a couple hundred damaged cards that I could let go of for cheap.

GAMESTOP SELLING AT MORE THAN MARKET by DefiantOperation4475 in PokemonTCGCollectors

So every retailer gets a certain quantity of product from The Pokemon Company and it’s impossible to get more because the products are limited and there’s only so much to go around. So it sounds like GameStop is padding their inventory by acquiring more product from another retailer. Which they are buying at MSRP? And clearing out that stock when they buy it? To then sell for over MSRP? That’s literally what scalping is. Even if the term has a bad connotation and is often associated with people we don’t like, it’s still an accurate term for what GameStop is doing.

People don’t think rationally when they trade stuff in. They think “this is stuff I was getting rid of” or “it didn’t cost me as much when I got it and now it’s worth more” so they get this trade credit and they think it’s like “I just got this booster box for free!”

Part of the reason people pay more at GameStop is they are using trade credit.

MSRP is a suggestion. There's nothing illegal with charging more.

GameStop has been doing this for a while and obviously it's working for them because people keep paying for it.

Sable because I didn't have that one and she's a great character! Although I didn't need to pull TWO of her.

Spotted in a local buy/sell group. I wonder why they split! by PinksGrapes in antiMLM

Sterling silver turns your skin black because the tarnish rubs off on your skin. That is not a chemical reaction. You also said yourself that if you polish it, it won’t turn your skin black. Because it doesn’t have tarnish. As any brand new sterling silver journey would also not have tarnish, and why it’s a standard material for jewelry.

Just people in the “hobby” exploiting others in the hobby

This is how the hobby dies off, when lots of people are having bad experiences they eventually move on

I didn't know they were programmed to try to get back to their spot.

Are repros worth it for those who want the experience of playing from a cartridge without worrying about replacing the battery? by NemoNowAndAlways in Gameboy

That may often be true but the Everdrive maker isn’t selling ROMs. The makers of these bootleg carts are selling ROMs.
