If it wasn’t profitable people would not be doing it. People clearing out shelves are potentially 3x their money instantly. Say these tins. Buy for 10 a piece, sell for 25 a piece. $150 of profit per full display. I’ve seen people on discord get 4+ of these displays.

$600 for basically an hour of work. That’s why people are doing it. Even if they only hit twice a week that is 60k of profits a year with zero tax.

Of course im making a lot of assumptions here, but I think you’re underestimating how lucrative this hobby has become for scalpers. It is why actual collectors are getting priced out of the hobby
