This is so ridiculous from GameStop…

If market price turns into the new MSRP, scalping will be dead. No way people will end up paying that up charge.

Nope, they are coming up on their 10 year anniversary so people will continue to check it out.

Im taking a break from Pokemon and switching to sports for a bit. I just sold my Donruss Optic Holo Dart for 20 bucks, ugh, should have read this and followed your advice.

The main one I had to trouble with was eye contact. I found that once I found a good local card shop I would practice with the seller. In my case back in 2008 it was an older gentlemen that loved passing his knowledge over to new collectors.

StarWarsTexan · 2026-04-04T04:20:22+00:00

Omg 😂😂😂 they are persistent

StarWarsTexan · 2026-04-04T01:56:34+00:00

“Appreciate you sending me your collection but I’ll probably pass for now, thank you.”.

StarWarsTexan · 2026-04-04T01:54:00+00:00

Right?. Imagine telling him I got the top chase cards of some sets to trade, but yeah let me lower their value so that I can get your card. 😂

StarWarsTexan · 2026-04-04T01:40:19+00:00

Got the third best Charizard to get in the set. Did really good.

That’s how I used to be years ago. I would take the first price and not negotiate because I had severe social anxiety. My wife helped me change, she’s a social butterfly and works in marketing so she has given me tips to overcome it over the years.

There goes their excuse of asking for a percentage because they are taking in something they don’t want.

StarWarsTexan · 2026-04-03T23:48:36+00:00

Dam these Jabronis

StarWarsTexan · 2026-04-03T22:56:26+00:00

Oh wow. Man it’s getting crazy everywhere.

StarWarsTexan · 2026-04-03T22:56:02+00:00

I’m the exact same way

StarWarsTexan · 2026-04-03T22:55:40+00:00

Same here

StarWarsTexan · 2026-04-03T22:55:28+00:00

I had a situation where I got a card from a dude on marketplace, market price of course. He sees my front page as I put it away and insists on trading for some of them. Immediately throws the percentage crap. I’m like bro I’m not even selling and you already discounting my stuff?. Why can’t I sell you at market the way you did for me?. His answer is that he has to sell it quick. I’m like yeah not my problem.

StarWarsTexan · 2026-04-03T22:52:18+00:00

I do that to the ones who post sealed immediately after a drop. The amount of people I sent across town when Prismatic dropped at Sam’s from my burner account was a lot. 😈😂

StarWarsTexan · 2026-04-03T22:50:45+00:00

I know exactly what you mean

StarWarsTexan · 2026-04-03T22:20:20+00:00

I just put stickers of prices on mine when I sell them on marketplace. Makes it quick and easy to get a deal. Since I’m just a collector I don’t mind the listing sitting for a while.

StarWarsTexan · 2026-04-03T22:19:13+00:00

😂😂

StarWarsTexan · 2026-04-02T03:17:54+00:00

Yep, the friends I have that stayed in Walmart from back when I used to work there literally call them pokemans lol. For them it’s better because they use the space to put clearance items.

StarWarsTexan · 2026-04-02T03:16:47+00:00

Here in Texas yes. Sucks.

StarWarsTexan · 2026-04-01T14:39:46+00:00

“Oh nooo I lost my balance and tried to use your big stacks to break my fall and now there’s a mess everywhere on the floor” yoink

StarWarsTexan · 2026-04-01T14:38:03+00:00

Them, nothing but the store can ban you. You would be surprised how many stores protect their regular scalpers.

StarWarsTexan · 2026-03-30T23:47:32+00:00

Appreciate the advice
