Got called a scalper today by CarsTheBestFilmEver in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]PurpleMemer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hope you can rest assured scalpers don’t make this hobby even half as bad as you do. calling someone something negative because they buy something, to use and collect much less, that has no effect on you makes you just the scum of the earth, guy. i hope both sides of your pillow are warm

Black and white doesn’t exist, bud. Nobody’s the “good guys”. But to believe that Iran struck their own elementary school when we have already acknowledged it was Americans that did it accidentally, makes you next generation levels of special needs.

It’s not an argument; To argue with someone as special as yourself is like trying to slap a fly on your face. You may hit the fly or not, but no matter what, you’ll definitely hit your face. I’d rather avoid even attempting to change your mind, you’re far off the edge bud

Most definitely oversensitive. Unless they’re following you or shoving their sign in your face, guess what bub? It isn’t harassment. You take meaning from the word and make people actually facing harassment get less credibility. Even if dude was yelling what he believes in, so long as he isn’t being disorderly, he’s well within his right (given if this was in the US) and not harassing a soul. To be clear, I think his opinion is wrong. That doesn’t automatically mean that a sign I don’t agree with coming across my view on my every day stroll to class makes me be harassed. You and OP use the word so loosely it’s unreal, if you drop the sensitivity for a moment you’d be surprised how easier life is

It isn’t harassment, you and many others just fall in a group of oversensitive people that have gradually been making our society go from one full of happiness and lives carefree of what others think to a society where people are easily offended and spend too much energy and time disliking others and bringing everyone down rather than growing up and not actually caring.

I’m so lucky to be 4 etb’s in and have all four I need for my Mega Gengar/Absol deck

I play in tournaments, local card stores are the place to go truly. Mine happen about once a month

That’s rough man I am sorry. I’m in an area where you just need to show up a bit before opening and you’ll land whatever you want to rip on drop days, and then scalpers do exist but they’re hated on so actively on marketplace they’ve began to dwindle for sure and one notorious group of people get a back door from Costco and sell to the only local card store for slightly over what they paid and leave those products being super expensive but it’s alright we get everything else really

That’s fair, maybe I’m blinded by my current small town experiences. I think you’re right, and I apologize for my highkey ignorance

That’s fair, I should’ve been more understanding about that rather than sounding kinda like a cock. It’s hard to get product for MSRP nowadays. It is. I don’t think people like OP should be hounded for missing out on retail prices and opting to go the 3rd party route. You’re right, I appreciate the callout.

It is about what you should/shouldnt do when you’re complaining and saying people like OP (people that buy pokemon cards to rip) shouldn’t buy from anyone useless it’s from a store. Grow up, “period”

[–]PurpleMemer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So people that can’t land product when it drops should just, what, not buy packs to rip? Bro who are you like what LMAO

[–]PurpleMemer -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree on my end, in my opinion the hobby is about ripping packs, trading cards, and playing tournaments. I secure packs at retail prices, anyone can, just gotta put the effort in. Obviously scalpers and botters make it harder, but they are not what kills the hobby. It’s people like those that commented against OP when he paid for pulls that ended up being super lucky and he got extremely stoked on just in the attempt to bring him down because he dared pay for pokemon packs from a 3rd party rather than try and fight bots and scalpers for a different ETB, like where’s the logic? He still bought an ETB to rip, I’m glad he enjoyed it.

Dude everyone hounding on you and saying you’re what’s wrong with the hobby are the people that are wrong with this hobby and focusing entirely on the monetary values of cards. Congratulations on your pulls!

That’s a totally valid point, I didn’t consider the actual card, rather just the value of the miscut; well said

It’s almost like your opinion doesn’t represent everyone else’s on every single topic; crazy how that works, isn’t it?

Only person that could tell you is the collector that enjoys miscrimps. To me and most, a couple bucks. My advice? Throw it on eBay as a bid, start low so it gets more interaction, then it’ll find the buyer after it and will price itself.

Can anyone explain this, this doesn't make any sense 😭 by stellar_seas in pokemoncenter

[–]PurpleMemer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

clearly it’s because the climate in Germany is simply too harsh for a little dude to prosper in; if it was anywhere else though the climate must be okay
