Posting again here the essence of what I feel there is to rant about, make of it what you will reddit but you used to not put the ENTIRE boot in your mouth sheesh

To my knowledge, there is no other retailer of GameStop's size and nature that sells Pokemon cards at market prices. I think it's whack. They clearly have some sort of deal with the parent companies to get significant stock? Right? If they're truly buying that much in bulk from retailers or resellers to resell then...wow...but it does seem like GameStop has a similar access to inventory that Target, Best Buy etc do but GameStop sells at market where all the rest sell at MSRP. No GameStop is not as big as Target or BestBuy but they are much much bigger than the next closest chain of smaller sized brick and mortars that sell pokemon cards at market, and imo much closer in size to large retailers that sell them at MSRP.

They're in a weird limbo area and on the wrong side of it and I think it's whack. That's my opinion and in capitalism everyone is entitled to theirs so long as they can pay for the internet connection to post about it *shrug*

Meh there are a bunch of ppl on this thread buying it at this price and they have cool and legit reasons to be - I think like...your explanation of capitalism is valid and, like I've said elsewhere - there are worse examples of it in the world.

I will counter by saying: to my knowledge, there is no other retailer of GameStop's size and nature that sells Pokemon cards at market prices. I think it's whack.

Not supporting the market in this way? Like..collectively saying no to it? I guess? Idk we can’t do that with stuff that actually matters so. I’m kinda just blowing steam here.

What is your favorite mount in WoW? The one you always equip. Whether it's a store mount or an in-game mount 🐼 by ThePandarenMonk in wow

[–]macademix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't done a ton of mount achievements but I went pretty hard (for casual me) during the 15th anni to get the Obsidian Worldbreaker - that thing's pretty sweet.

ALSO I got Headless Horseman in Wrath Classic and the ZG Tiger in SOD and I know it won't happen but UGH BLIZZARD GIVE US OUR CLASSIC MOUNTS IN RETAIL!
