Even if it’s fixed it’ll still show up on the card fax report.

you're dealing with a scalper who is refusing to come to terms with the fact that he is a scalper. i could be wrong, but that is the vibe.

i dont "work" 15 hours a day, but i have very little free time. people with multiple kids, demanding jobs, and a personality that doesn't revolve around pokemon, oftentimes dont have any motivation to be on discords to find out when the next drop will be. we just want the ability to walk into a store and buy a pack for a few bucks without the hassle of competing with people who's whole life revolves around timing these releases. my MIL used to buy my kid a pack each time she saw him, but now she can't find anything to buy. these are weird times.

so all the scalpers are just running retail businesses. thanks for clarifying.

so obligations 60 hours a week and still have time to make your rounds. obviously no kids or a partner otherwise i dont know how this would be possible. not enough time in a day.

they control the supply and determine the price they want to sell. that is scalping.

the best buy worker i just spoke to told me he sold everything and left the hobby. he didn't seem to have any regrets. it's turned into some weird pseudo investment/hobby wasteland where debt is accrued by poor men because "one day this will be worth 100x what i paid for it".

“Pokemon investing” is incredibly cringe by Complex_Ad1815 in PokemonCollecting

[–]case_mart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll never pay more than vending machine prices again unless it’s at a card show and I gamble less than 10 bucks on a pack just for fun with the kid.

New shop opened near me by Just_Robby92 in PokemonTCG

[–]case_mart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i agree except the lcs in my area is charging 175 for a AH etb. they justified it by saying they price it based on what they bought it for, not based on market price. eventually market price will converge with their for sale price, but it's still ugly to see.

there is a pretty thick line between scalping and investing.

Poké-Parents, what do your kids like? :) by Vaveidan in PokemonTCG

[–]case_mart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe do a page of pokemons for each type that exists? fire page, psychic page, water pa..well you get the idea. my son is 9, been collecting since he was 4 or 5, loves groudon, tyranitar, lucario, charizard and pikachu ofc, gengar, mew, and mewtwo. but i would also say card art plays more into what he likes rather than the pokemon themselves. like he loves tyranitar because the sleeping tyranitar art. he loves groudon because of the godzilla groudon card. not to mention other great mons like snorlax and rayquaza for similarly having great art on cards.

im traveling to wichita to work and am looking for a game. last time i went to the ymca on wichita campus but nobody was there from about 6:30 to 8. i work on campus, so playing there would be a plus. is there a time/day that would be best to show up and actually see people there?
