As a fan getting back into the hobby, the scalpers make me want to quit again. Absolutely disgusting. I hope people lose interest because of these assholes and they lose their asses on these "investments" that do nothing but hurt the community
@booky4867 hey cry baby's you can buy Base set, Obsidian, paradox rift, paldea evolved and many others at very reasonable prices. literally 98% of scarlet and violet top hits are crazy affordable. Go cry to your mom.
Could of bought a UPC from walmart for 89.99 like not that long ago .. the stuff that is affordable now people arent buying until it goes up then they want and complain, after being in hobby awhile nobody wants it when its affordable once it starts goin up everyone complains there plenty of products u can get for a kid under msrp
People paying scalpers prices are just as much to blame. Let them sit on it and start losing money if you want it to change. I don't pay scalper prices, yet I am willing to wait six months to a year and buy them when prices decrease.
There’s no point worrying about scalpers, need to be 1 step ahead! In the world we live in it’s hard enough for people to keep there head above water with rising energy costs, food, clothing etc…anytime money can be made then it’s gonna be, pokerev is one of the biggest scalpers ever, he buys 20-50 cases of evolving skies and holds them for 2+ years and then sells for $700+ so don’t worry about the average person worry about the big players taking huge amounts of stock and selling them on…
Scalpers collecters investor is all the same thing we all like the art but also want value on them so we are all the same. The try fans are the tcg players that play the game like it’s meant to be.
I am just trying to master the set of 151 and i cant even get it anymore and i was really looking forward to the set and was only about to get a binder collection and a Ultra premium collection and 1 etb when it first launched
@@ttyler62Thing is, people didn’t think it would be this bad and that the availability of this set would be similar to past sets around 8ish months out: still very possible to get. You can get all the way out to Brilliant stars somewhat easily. People expected that, not for it to be gone. I rejoined Pokemon TCG collecting back in January and I had no clue how hard 151 would be to get, so I got just one of the Costco 151 Zapdos/Alakazam bundles. I had no idea that my brother would become interested in the set later, I had no idea it was a special set, all of that. We can’t tell the future. I expected it to be as easy to find as other SV expansions. Don’t blame people who didn’t know how bad it would get.
I love binder collection so much. It's crazy that i was buying these just for 20+eur last December. Opening them during christmas and having those binders wa so much fun. That binder is one of the best pokemon products they made. Very good quality.
I bought a case for 155 out the door cause the binders itself was worth it so glad i did when i did .. also pulled a zard from it and kept one sealed nobody wanted when it was cheap and available
Just because you missed out doesn't mean scalpers got it all. 2 Costco's of mine had 151 bundles for 3 months. Some areas are more popular with pokemon than others. Just because you are too slow, late, and miss out, doesn't mean the evil scalpers got it all. 151, Surging Sparks, and Target's 20 dollar ETB's are just very in demamd and popular with everyone in the community.
Ikr 🤣🤣 where were these people in July when the market dipped and I was begging people to buy my 151 under msrp.. These people were nowhere to be found because there was no money in it, now that it’s worth something they are victims.
@NotMiku01 seriously I just got into the hobby a few months ago and had no clue what 151 even was. Someone was begging me to get it at cosco now I have a bunch of upc and don't need to trample people at the store. I have every single set at dirt cheap prices. Your right they just want to be able to flip themselves and waking up early it too much work for them.

Yeah went this morning to target first thing I see is a lady with two bags filled with all the etbs
@@whitesmoke08 at least on ebay, I watch auctions of known scalped items and they are selling. Unfortunately.
@@DarthRevanGD Trying to get back into card collecting on a budget and this kinda stuff genuinely hurts ;-;

151 was on shelfs for at least 8 months after release. Then it got hot. You had plenty of time

Unpopular opinion. It isn't the fault of scalpers. It's Pokemon companies because they refuse to print the products that people want.
But you’re part of the problem. Your channel promotes Pokemon cards, posting its popularity, which gives the scalpers reason to scalp.
