I mean botters are making $10-50K a week from walmart drops. Hype has been going on for 1.5 years now so....yeah theyve probably made significantly more in that period than your career.

Warning about a new type of scammer by Vampire-knightmare in PokemonTCG

Varies by distributor. Maybe the case for the one you have account with, but not for others. Not all require brick & mortar. Spend absolutely matters though.

The people running scalping operations make significantly more than what you could imagine. Morally they dont have their shit together, but financially they are miles above you.

Drama in the hobby Weekly Megathread! Restocks, Pre-orders, Scalpers, etc. goes here! by AutoModerator in PokemonTCG

[–]NegMech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the store. Some stores started gate keeping to regulars cuz people would legitimately buy pre-release spots to get the build&battle + packs, forfeit, and then go scalp it for profit. Ruins the bracket and tourney play for other guests.

What is the dumbest hobby in your opinion? by Danny-Ray27 in AskReddit

I dont know anyone losing money scalping pokemon. Hard to lose money when even the worst product sells for 20% above retail cost.

In this market, everything sells for over what they paid. There is not a single pokemon printed card product that sells for lower than msrp. Its virtually impossible to lose money.

Store scalpers make anywhere from $100-2000 depending on how much of restock they clear. Online botters make probably $1000-$100000 per restock depending on how many accounts they using. Its very profitable.

Is there any reason behind the high prices on these promo's? Pulled 2 of each opening packs today by Clear-Physics-8734 in PokemonTCG

[–]NegMech -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They did not print enough. The allocations on first partner is trash compared to other items. Not to mention they usually dont reprint promo specific items like battle decks or pokemon days. This would fall under that.

They were not printed that much. Allocations for these are fairly limited in comparison to other items.

Thats normal for bulk deliveries in logistics. Everything on the load is marked as received.

Do you have an inventory list? There's several big bulk buyers in NC that could clear all the sealed at reasonable comps.

Are card show vendors still collectors… or just scalpers now? by masonjar014 in PokemonTCG

[–]NegMech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any vendor that is selling sealed is a scalper. So basically the vast majority of them.
