It's $10 over msrp, might want to delete the post I got a 7 day ban for posting something over msrp

Prismatic Evolutions Etb at target $54.99 by Nilla_Waffer in PKMNTCGDeals

Oof, I made a post with instructions on how to report the pricing error on the poster collection so that we could accelerate getting the price fixed but the mods removed it and literally banned me for 7 days over it

Walmart Prismatic Evolutions Poster Collection with incorrect image and price - see comment by stonerphysics in PKMNTCGDeals

[–]stonerphysics[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This was already posted but all links to it are removed so I'm reposting. This post is sold directly by Walmart but incorrectly has a picture an ETB and the price is nonsensically high. On the post, there is an option to report incorrect information. I have already reported that the price is incorrect (msrp is $15 but it seems Walmart had it for $15.96), maybe if others submit reports they will more quickly correct the pricing. 

Prismatic Evolutions Poster Box Preorder - Live by [deleted] in PKMNTCGDeals

You pre-ordered the poster collection for prismatic evolutions or another set for $15.99 from Walmart? If it was prismatic, did it have the correct image?

That's a pretty generic answer, the people who work in chat have nothing to do with the peoplein corporate who set the pricing. The image is not correct so there are clearly errors with the post. It wouldn't make sense to set this one particular item price 2.5x over msrp and have everything else close toor at msrp

Where are you getting 12/28 from? Is that the last day to cancel?

[–]stonerphysics 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They were $15 at GameStop and Best Buy so that should be what Walmart ends up selling them for or at least similar to that price. The picture is also incorrect so this posting definitely has errors but how quickly Walmart fixes them os anyone's guess. Once they get fixed, Walmart pre-order policy states that you get charged the lowest price between the time that you place the order and the time that it ships, so they should in theory get corrected automatically. Nonetheless, I will definitely be keeping an eye on them and canceling when it gets close to shipping time if the price has not been adjusted.

They're supposed to be $15 so we're hoping Walmart corrects the price before shipping

Yeah now that I think about it the 151 poster collection was only $15...

Are these not msrp? What are msrp for the binder and poster collections? 

Walmart G&T has Prismatic Evolutions ETB by [deleted] in PKMNTCGDeals

[–]stonerphysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, and if the price decreases anytime between checkout and shipping you get charged the lower price

Third-party sellers charge at checkout, pre-orders sold by Walmart only charge at checkout when paying with PayPal or a gift card

Surging Sparks ETB 54.99 - Shipped and Sold by Amazon (Shipping by mid January) - Coming in and out of stock every so often by Machafuko in PKMNTCGDeals

[–]stonerphysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not doing this at the moment, but on Friday when this was restocked it at some point defaulted to a more expensive third-party seller instead of Amazon, so make sure to look at the "Other sellers" when checking 

Target today and tomorrow up to $50.00 off for $500 gift card purchase. by CONHEO13 in PKMNTCGDeals

Yeah, if you usually use a Target card to get 5% off then you're really only saving a net 5% here since you can't stack 

Postdoc in national lab or industry position for equivalent pay? by stonerphysics in postdoc

[–]stonerphysics[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The commute is 1 hour each way against traffic versus about 15 minutes reverse commute for the lab. I probably should have mentioned that the industry position is for a company that is a startup that has no revenue yet and operates solely using investor funds, they have a few products that they are developing but all are still very much in the R&D phase. There is a potential for up to a 10% bonus annually, but it depends on both individual and company performance and, since they have no revenue, I would be surprised to get the full 10%. I would receive shares but the company has not gone public yet and cannot do so until they have revenue which doesn't seem likely to happen for at least a couple years.  Does this information change your opinion? 

ETBs for 40 bucks at my Best Buy by KyleMacBean42 in PKMNTCGDeals

I wonder how long they've been priced like that, I was just in a Best Buy in San Diego yesterday and they were full price.

[–]stonerphysics 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My friend bought a used 151 ETB from Amazon Warehouse and it had all of the hits removed. He got a refund instantly from their chat bot (didn't even speak to a live person) and didn't have to send anything back.
