Why don't we use these machines to order items that would be exclusive to the pokemon center. I know its not the perfect system, but I cant imagine bots being abled to be used in this situation. Basically if these machines are the order port, and they set up a no duplicate address order...

I stopped saying that during covid when you shining fates etbs, distribution price at 25, was sold at all stores for 85 because they knew they could. Don't support your lgs. Unless of course they are doing ethical things, but good luck.

They absolutely are the first to screw you over. You can defend yourself all you want but these are all words. People have leaked distribution price invoices and showed stores selling at triple msrp despite. Look at covid, during that big boom they did the same. So seriously, don't support your...

I am not doubting thats a possibility, but unless you have seen the invoices like I have, I wouldnt believe it. But hey I wouldnt put it past distributors either at this point.

Well, when you say well within their right, that doesnt mean good, bad, right, or wrong, it just kind of allowed or legal. But I can understand what you are saying, and agree to a degree. But you say that store will sell at what the scalpers are at, and its the other way around. Scalpers dont...

Yeah I cant speak for every store, or even every store in the US. But almost every store I know if you ask them why on their prices, they say "we go off market value". One store literally had a sign, it was adorable, it showed a screenshot of TCGplayer, the high end pricing, saying that their...

I really hope for you my dude. Fingers crossed

They may not buy them directly from pokemon, but I have seen what distributors sell to stores for, and it is a profit to sell at MSPR. This is not new for stores, or even that new to pokemon. When a product becomes out of print, or hard to comeby thats when distributors might raise the price...

Gee I wonder why you are telling me I am wrong and defending scalping. Nah dude, everyone can see whats happening, its not hard or even hidden. If you think you are pulling a wool over peoples eyes to say "No thats not whats happening" I got some bad news for you. I seriously hope the best for...

I do love it when stores do that, because it shows that they dont care about the extra money (because they charge less), they care about people not trying to resell

yes, obviously if a store is selling product at msrp, which still is them making a profit, support them. But the bad news is that 95% of stores are screwing over their patrons. To say that they are battling scalpers is untue. For them to "battle" them they would have to be challenged by them...

Unless they completely flood the market, or give all the product to places like target that don't triple the price, it means nothing. Scalpers sell and scalp because local game stores can triple the price. They are the first person to screw you over and scalpers follow. Pokemon has to print so...

I appreciate your optimism. But fact is unless pokemon absolutely floods targets and walmarts, and others of this manner, with product we are at the mercy of LGS/scalpers who have banded together in this fight. They are buying out targets and such as well, and they also have the bots. Until...

Please dont call it a logan Paul era, giving that turtle killing jack ass any attention, especially an era only feeds his ego. Just call it the covid era.

So out of curiosity why isnt there a system that prevents the same credit card use. I have seen it on other websites where if card info is found on multiple accounts they put them on hold. I know some people will just use multiple cards, but wouldnt it at least help against the millions of bots?

There are so many odd things when it comes to "investor buyers" and scalpers, because they are very open about being this bad of a person. I am a TO for a couple stores, but I don't actually work for the stores so if I were to try product from them I get the 3 times msrp as well. But I got this...

To try and simmer down I am just going to agree with you

That is literally every LGS, even if they get them at their distributor price, which is like 50-60% of msrp, they sell them for 3x. If they sold their product for msrp scalpers would literally have no power. Don't support LGS anymore, they will screw you over if they know they can.

It quite literally says on the card that it can be used to block damage to none rule box pokemon

placement of damage counters is not damage, dragapult pulls through
