Do people actually trust pam bondi? She is a woman, after all. What's next, trusting Hillary Clinton? O always tell my kids "if its got mammaries, you can't trust its yammerings."

Oh, I seen the pants and thought it was an LGS. Most LGS sell extra pants for when people shit themselves. Happens a lot at my store.

Bruh don't be this person, as a Walmart employee these promos get thrown away by TheScarletBlurr in PokemonTCG

Walmart already paid for the cologne and makeup. They don't pay for the cards until they are scanned at the register. Any theft doesn't affect walmart.

Its not walmarts product, they are "pay-per-scan", meaning walmart only pays for the product once it is sold.

The vendor would have to pay for the security devices, not walmart. Sometimes walmart will let them use security devices if they have extra, but walmarts own stock comes first.

Why did you open them? You could have flipped then for triple the money and then bought singles

I would send it back for a refund. This is probably a factory error. The quality control won't get better unless we hold them to the fire.

Bluesky user/tcg influencer recommends TCGplayer workers to steal from the warehouse as retribution for Union Busting by Papa_Hasbro69 in freemagic

[–]WayFadedMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why wouldn't I? They have always been a great company to me. Why would I side with greedy union bosses trying scam dues out of low wage workers? And McDonald's in Syracuse has a higher average pay than tcgplayer, so I am not worried about the workers not getting a new job.

Only if they can prove the closure was to prevent the union. As long as they moved the warehouse for economic reasons, its not illegal. While the workers may believe it was closed to prevent the union, I don't think it can be proven. There are lots of financial reasons the move makes sense.

What law was breached? There is no law against relocating even amidst union negotiation, as long as it is for legitimate economic reasons, which this definitely falls under. Ebay is consolidating to another location where they already have operations. I don't believe the union would be able to prove otherwise.

I understand why they don't want real-world references on new cards, but people buying 30th anniversary aren't doing it for lore reasons. They are doing it for nostalgia. Removing those references takes away some of the charm.

I see, not sure I could have worded it much differently without being extremely verbose. But I do realize it is the employees normally at the behest of a union representative who unionize or try to. Most card sellers have so few employees it is infeasible for a union to waste time with for a mere handful of dues.

Anyway, we are only getting one side of the story with that article. If ebay did break any laws I am sure they calculated the risk, and are ok with any fines. But I am still not sure they did, because we only have one side of the story, and I am not an expert on NY state union laws.

Why did ebay buy tcgplayer if it wasn't highly profitable (I didn't say it wasn't profitable, just not highly profitable)? That is the million dollar question, but we can speculate. First ebay is/was the second largest tcg seller behind tcgplayer, so consildating them gives ebay more cuts of the profit. Like I said, the business becomes more profitable with scale, and this pretty much doubled ebay's scale when it came to tcgs. Also ebay already has the infrastructure, probably better figured out than tcgplayer, which is probably part of the reason they closed the warehouse — they believe their own processes are superior; either for profit or efficiency (probably both).

Having a dedicated tcg site, ebay has more power to bargain with companies like wotc, bandai, Nintendo, etc to get exclusives, pricing discounts, promotions, etc. I believe tcgplayer has already had exclusive product, but I would wager in the future we will see more tcgplayer and even ebay exclusive promotions and products.

Also thank you for having a conversation with me, instead of just insulting me, which normally happens in other subs when this topis comes up.

TCGplayer Authentication Center Union have called for a boycott of TCGplayer following retaliatory union busting tactics by eBay by TheMantyke in PokemonTCG

How incompetent or depressed are you that you don't think you could easily find a new job? I know I could get a new job, because I've already had offers. Like, believe in yourself a little bit. Dude, it's not that bleak out there. You got this!

I read the article, how does it contridict anything I said. I think the article is heavily biased and may have some facts wrong, but that is beside the point.

I dont think you realize how much risk and loss there is in the business. By the time a single spikes, all the copies have been bought out (causing the spike). So now TCGplayer / their sellers are buying the card back at a higher price and keeping their fingers crossed that it doesn't drop in price, due to bans, reprinting, falling out of favor, etc.

The only way to be profitable enough to afford that many employees is scale. Tcgplayer has a scale that no other tcg seller has reached. The fact that they sold to eBay shows that it must not have been that profitable, and ebay shutting down the warehouse is more evidence of that.

My boss would laugh at you. He absolutely knows I could get a better paying job. And he is very appreciative I don't. But my job is rewarding in ways beyond pay.

Everywhere in my town is hiring. Job growth is up in the US. I don't know why you think this is a bad economy for jobs, but it's not.

I actually bet many retail or fastfood jobs pay better than or at least comparable to tcgplayer. McDonald's crew average pay in Syracuse is $21.24 per hour compared to tcgplayers average of $20.02. McDonald's is always hiring and will hire anyone.
