If you have to use "technically" you're already in trouble. Regardless if "the store sells them incorrectly" or "could've gotten more". This is not just a Pokémon problem, stuff like the new 3090s from Nvidia is getting scalped too - but Pokémon scalping? You know the target audience is kids, right? You're scamming kids because it's a "great deal" for you.
And before the obligatory 'but my buyers aren't kids!' well congratulations, you're not scamming kids - whoever your buyers are, it's still a scam. For a children's card game. And it's not the store's problem for selling things incorrectly - it's yours for taking advantage. Try using "but the door was unlocked! It's the store's risk amirite" as a defense for an actual robbery, see how that goes. I can't believe we're still blaming anything other than the perpetrators.
That being said, I am not closing discussion on the subject because of my stance on it, or because I disagree with it. This is not some regime, that is not how we do things here. I am closing discussion on it because a) this is not a thread about scalping and b) even if it was, it's one of those topics where nothing good ever comes out of it.
So, obviously I can't stop anybody from going around doing it irl, but drop the scalping discussion here. Again, if anybody has a problem, just send me a PM, I'm always open for constructive criticism.
