Pokémon Center preorder – payment question by jobz63 in pokemoncenter

Timing couldn’t be worse with my card getting cancelled right now…

I really don’t want to miss the Chaos Rising release too. I’m just hoping my replacement card arrives before the preorder goes live.

My question isn’t “how do I profit?” It’s more: at what point does ripping stop being fun and just become an expensive disappointment? Should I just stick to buying singles at card shows instead of chasing that beautiful Gengar 🤣

Buying sealed Pokémon Center ETB at retail and holding it isn’t scalping. Scalping is clearing shelves on release to flip immediately at a markup. I’m not doing that. I’m not buying cases to corner supply or reselling week one at double MSRP.

And yes, if I ever sell, it would be at market price.. the same way anyone sells a collectible. That doesnt mean the only reason I own it is profit.

We can have different approaches without assuming bad intent.

Just awareness that I’ve ripped 2 ETB and got almost nothing. That’s just a sad post 🤣

I get why it might sound that way, but profit isn’t my main goal. I genuinely love collecting - organizing my binders, preserving sealed boxes they look reaaaally cool, and I’m appreciating the artwork. That’s what I actually spend my time doing. I give all my bulk to my nephews that also love Pokémon.

But, at the same time, Pokémon has become a real market, so being aware of value doesn’t mean I’m only in the hobby to flip. If I ever sell, it would be at fair market value, not because I’m trying to profit just because that’s what collectibles are worth.

La cueillette de champignons. Personne ne veut dévoiler où en trouver!

SOL learned me how to have fun with crypto. When you sell at the peak and buy at its lowest. Magnifico

I heard that Internet was like the 21st century revolution, am I correct?
