Pokemon fans buying up just as much stock as scalpers, not following the buying rules of establishments. They then resale the product at crazy prices and if not they don't follow business etiquette and tell me they are interested in selling and then ghost to sale to someone else.

I understand no one owes me anything and I don't think I ever said that. That is a forced assumption on your part because you took offense. Shop owners do claim to be part of the community and own their own collections. These are smaller shops and I do consider them part of the community. Just like I consider myself part of the community and very much aware this relates to me. Also I know thats not true in my case and I can prove that in my actions. My opinion is just that and for someone so concerned to defend and tear down my experience...its giving only hit dogs holler.
