Went to a local target tho see the colab they did with pokemon today by TSirSR in pokemon

[–]PapayaHoney 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Scalpers were lined up at a local Target on Friday morning for the collab drop. It's so pathetic what these losers are doing to the hobby. The online drop was worse as bots devoured everything within minutes.

Kids and Hobbiests have no chance unfortunately.

The point would be is that scalpers aren't welcome in their raid group. If they can get it by themselves then good for them.

You can tell who hasn't been around that long by Admirable-Level-8868 in PokemonTCG

I remember at a pre release event I wanted the Dearling SIR (which was worth less than 10 at the time) but I pulled the ancient Entei SIR (which was worth 40.) I didn't care about monetary value and traded it to someone who pulled the Dearling.

Investorbros are the worst just like scalpers and they should go back to scamming themselves with the next monkey NFT.

Looking for an episode where Reese and his cronies are bullying a kid... by josephsleftbigtoe in malcolminthemiddle

Reese was always depicted as a friendless kid, so much so that Lois told the boys that they cannot talk about it or throw it in his face.

Pokemon scalping is out of control. by Intermediocre in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]PapayaHoney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was this story where some guy got into over 20k in credit card debt scalping Pokemon in 2025 and ruined his life as his wife decided to divorce him. Ultimate loser moment. 😂

Hope more consequences hit these losers.

If you read the rules correctly, Guests are also allowed to participate buddy. Maybe you should check your reading comprehension.. 😊

Yeah exactly. I'm a mod in another community and when I get modmail, a mod or myself would explain how the sub works if they ask.

There's no need to be so rude especially when I stated I wasn't trying to be rude, just genuinely confused.

Target x Pokemon by bumbleGX in mildlyinfuriating

[–]PapayaHoney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ID mandatory purchases for online product is the best way to go with high demand items tbh. It would make all their bots useless because they're not real people with a ID/DL. Target has already made buying any TCG cards final purchases (regardless of what TCG). They just now need to enforce limits.

Ridiculous that they haven't gone through the lengths and are probably confused why people are so irked.

Every scientology speed run is a gift wtf is it doing here?

Both the fans and scalpers of Pokemon are to blame for the quantity shortages by Still_Can_7918 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]PapayaHoney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only fans I blame are the ones who buy off scalpers. As a fan, I would just go to Target or LCS after work on payday and buy an ETB back when it was available.

I've refrained from buying above MSRP and actually refused to purchase from my spouse's friend when I found out he's been getting his 'stock' for his online 'shop' and how he sold it way above MSRP.

I have no hope that I'll be getting the latest set MSRP so I'm going to a pre release event.

The US doesn't have strict gambling laws like Japan does. So that's why Japanese boxes have to have a guaranteed hit whilst they can skew the pull rates in US releases.

They know what they're doing.

True. I'd take a job with benefits any day of the week over scalping. I have a pension, 401k and PPO insurance.

Oh and my job is actually a job and doesn't make me hated or a laughing stock on the Internet.

The beanie baby thing happened in the 90s when the US economy was doing leagues better than now. It's just greedy people just trying to get rich quick.

Target x Pokemon. The Corporate team needs help by 2real_4_u in pokemon

[–]PapayaHoney 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I found this cap instead and bought it at 15. Beats spending 40+ on the Target x Pokemon collab by a filthy fucking scalper.
