My local target limited 1 etb set each. Some guy tried to grab like 90% of the stand and then had to give it up at the register. 😂. Luckily was able to get some.
stores need to place a limit, do a better job at catching online bots AND make it so the preorders are only done in person instead of online. In person preorders will make all bots obsolete.
@@LavaDudeno, just put a rule for 1 etb at checkout. The person will have to come back later that day or tomorrow just to get one again. It’ll annoy the scalper out and it’ll make the rest get taken from them. The company won’t lose any money if the product is so wide sold that people struggle to get 1. I have a family member working in a store as upper management so I’m most likely going to ask them to implement this
I saw that comment about the guy saying he left ETBs for everyone else BUT heres the thing, the displays hold 6 of each ETB which adds up to 24 ETBs, which mean the guy never even saw the display let alone buy 1 of each and leave the rest for the community. The story is completely made up and maybe he just wants online praise for some reason
I was there he was only doing it because he was scared they weren’t gonna let him buy everything so he was trying to show the workers that he was giving one or 2 out
Never got an etb, went to target a couple of times this week and never even saw the display out! Can’t complain to much I got a couple of the v striker tins and a tsareena box from Walmart.
This cannot last. The hobby will implode on itself at some point, and hopefully then only the true collectors will remain. Or maybe we'll be driven out and only the parasites will remain. People need to stop paying astronomical prices for modern Pokemon cards. It only encourages and enables these parasites that don't belong in the hobby and don't really care about anything in the hobby but money.
Man thank you for talking about this madness. I waited outside Target Friday morning and they were able to make an announcement about taking names for the Taylor Swift merch but how come they can never for Pokémon. As soon as the opened doors someone who was behind about 15th in line somehow ran and bumped shoulders with me to get to the toys section only for the shelves to be empty. Scalper was outscalped lol
I agree, man; things have gotten out of hand lately; the fomo created by resellers and streamers is causing harm to the community. I have been on your discord for a while and am strongly considering membership to stay up to date on all this craziness.
People are definitely going crazy right now that's for sure. I do think some of the blame lies with the stores. Limits should be set at the stores that prevent the scalping. Limit 2 or 3 per customer? People will find ways around it but that would go a long way. Target LET that guy buy all those ETBs with the crowd following him. We used to have midnight releases all the time in the 2000s that were well organized.
I just wanted two ETBs cause well, I’m poor and can only afford one ETB normally. This was the perfect opportunity to get both my kids an ETB for a gift. But they were sold out before even being available.
Retailers need to crack down in programs that place multiple orders & set purchase & IP limits. I don't know if anything will ever be done about it, because businesses get their money in the end anyway.
The guy that stated $83 was a good price for the ETBs probably managed to get a bunch of preorder (or has a store front and is selling them) and is trying to get people to believe his scammy prices are good.
Just wanted to let you know you are still doing an amazing job.. I haven’t done videos as long as you have. I used to stream on twitch long ago.. when I was younger I used to reply and give into certain comments. But as I got older, I realize that some people just want to get a reaction from you and you can’t change how miserable they are.. and they just feel mighty for bringing others down
They shouldnt even put them out. Have them form a line in the back storage and have one staff member pass the etbs out and only limit to 2 per customer.
i bought all my cases of surging sparks for 599. stellar 550. twilight 539. Temporal 550. Paradox under 500. Base 480. OBF 89 a box. Paldea evo 580. All you had to was be early and believe and BUY when no one wanted the crap. also bought all swsh early and all the speciality sets like 151 and prism early. you have to have the stones. If you are new and never been in any market ever. You might get seriously hurt if you are fomoing in to high prices.
I went to all 3 targets in town. I waited at the first one before they opened. All 3 targets said they never received them. 3 targets feels like a decent size city. Let down...
at an investment stand point it's make sense, you got the cash and you have the opportunity, everyone would do the same. It's Black Friday deal, you snooze you loose.
People like that aren't a part of the Pokemon community. They wont sell it immediately. You can hold it for 1 year and probably see those ETB'S Increase by about 50% in price on average because of the timing of the supply right now.
I just got 4 brilliant stars etbs at dollar general for 80 bucks. Been waiting on that yellow dot sale for months and hoped no one would take those etbs. Luckily i live in the sticks lol
This is This is the same guy that was boasting about his discord in how they have pretty fast reaction times compared to free discord, and yet his team still wasn't able to get product.
Could be in Canada we didn’t have any Black Friday sales at all anywhere. So no need to even worry about trying to get anything haha. Regular prices for all (well inflated regular prices being Canada and all haha)
First two guys in line took 4 each so lost origin was gone. Was able to get 2 brilliant stars for each of my kids. Tried to leave a few after me. Then my wife was able to get 2 lost origin when they came in stock for literally a minute. Think that was good karma
I ordered two 151 poster collections from Walmart for 19.99 each. Now I'm worried because it's a third party and seen some reviews and redditors saying they are re-sealed while others are ok with it. Can't afford to just throw away my money, hope it's just a nice deal and not something too good to be true which is why it didn't sell out so fast.
People are nuts. If youre really into pokemon just wait itll die down. If youre somewhere and lucky enough to get a good deal get it. Sign up for drop notifications but dont stress not getting things theres always a ton more coming its ok to miss out on some stuff.
It's not gaslighting Target into price matching, they are actively advertising that they will price match anything until Christmas including themselves. The thing people weren't able to do was get them to give them an additional 30% off the 50% off when they did the 30% off deal on Thanksgiving.
Would have been nice to get a few walmart tins to open with my kiddos but before I even heard about them they were all gone. Now all I see are fkin people with piles of the tins like wtf
My local lgs had a 3 day in-person only deal: $20 shrouded fable etbs, 4 per person, 20 available per day $40 charizard box, 1 per person, 4 per day, $125 msrp prismatic preorder Binder collection, etb, 2 tech sticker collection sylveon/ glaceon, and a poster collection. I don’t care enough to sit and watch sites waiting to jump and order especially with the fomo on this set: feel like it won’t get any better this next year. Rest in peace Ali, to Allah we belong
Unless you are getting buried with your pokemon cards, we are all investors. Honestly I don’t select judge anyone, even scalpers. Scalpers are created by stores not having limits to products but stores never get the blame though. Target could limit ETBs to 2/person but didn’t. Stores create scalpers and scalpers are leveraging the supply demand difference for a profit ie short-term investment.
didnt have any black friday fails but i did have a fail on the discord. When some 151 dropped i went in and bought 10 at what i thought was 15.98. Well i guess those were sold out and walmart sent me to a resellers page and ended up paying 25 a box and somehow didnt catch it. dunno if i even wanna open those or try to resale in time and get my money back as thats like 8-9 a pack lol. Definitely gonna have to be more careful on that stuff.
Just wanted to say that tho waiting for days to get the PE with no luck. I was beginning to get discouraged as you have to be fast at the draw to purchase. I finally was able to score some PE at MSRP. All and all not bad.
Let’s be honest, EVERYONE is trying to make profit. It’s sad even your local shops raided the Costcos. Entire pallets, not just 10 or 20. I got lucky to get 2. Just 2 yet it’s funny when people say, leave some for the kids.
Well with Prismatic evolutions pre order, lots of people order a ton and that also contibuties to why the pre orders always last so short, sometimes its just minutes and I find that very sad. I haven't been able to get lots of products when they appear plus I feel really uncomfortable with product being for literally not a day, but less than an hour. I feel people who invest in pokemon really have to start accelerating less the demand for product. I really dont like the actual market. People who invest need to chill and probably just bought few quantities not a ton and literraly over and over. Like theres people who make over and over multiple orders for some product, like those ETB's. I sometimes got notification from target that the ETB's appear as avaible again and they always sell out in minutes. Was just able to get 3 Silver tempest from 1 order. Btw my three walmarts didn't have any of thse 15 dll tins, because the quantity that was going to be in store for the black friday sale, they mix it up with the online sale that happen days ago and thats why I didn;t find any 15 dll in stores.
So why do you need to scroll so far down in comments to find out latest drops of online restocks for prismatic if you have a discord that notifies people when they drop? Not trying to be a troll just trying to understand how it works before I join since this will be the 1st discord group I’ve ever joined shouldn’t you just be able to look at the notifications to let you know time and date of drop or is that not how discords work?
It’s all about geting good deals u are also making a group to get notifications for the deals so u can take it first so way u complaining about ather person 🤣🤣
I’m not buying into fomo I can wait I have patience. This bubble will pop and history has shown it. I will buy only things I need that’s it. My investment plans have changed.
While I agree that there will be opportunity to get PE at retail and buying them for high prices is dumb, it isn't going to be easy to get them on release. You said yourself you would basically have to be a no lifer sitting at home refreshing to have a chance to beat the bots,
My local target limited 1 etb set each. Some guy tried to grab like 90% of the stand and then had to give it up at the register. 😂. Luckily was able to get some.
My target avoided this by having them all sold out 3 days before the sale went live!
stores need to place a limit, do a better job at catching online bots AND make it so the preorders are only done in person instead of online. In person preorders will make all bots obsolete.
The problem is that it costs resources to accomplish this for 0 financial gain.
@@LavaDudeno, just put a rule for 1 etb at checkout. The person will have to come back later that day or tomorrow just to get one again.

I have a family member working in a store as upper management so I’m most likely going to ask them to implement this
The problem is you are placing a limit on people who collect or play the game as well.
I saw that comment about the guy saying he left ETBs for everyone else BUT heres the thing, the displays hold 6 of each ETB which adds up to 24 ETBs, which mean the guy never even saw the display let alone buy 1 of each and leave the rest for the community.

Modern > vintage so don’t make it about modern.
@@TheSnackAttackingSnorlax Oh, I didn't know they were still making vintage cards.

My husband took the display and then handed 2 to each person, lol. We left with a silver tempest box
At my target within minutes all the etbs were gone

I love this pokedoc. Tell it how it is. Screw those people. May they never be profitable again 😤
10:26 you can tell the Doc is disgusted but also oddly impressed with the levels of audacity 😂

Thank you 🙏🏽 There are always going to be dumb people out there with something dumb to say
I remember back in the day Black Fridays deals were limited to 1 per customer.
If people just start fighting people in stores who do this, then we can get all the scalpers banned from the stores for fighting! 😂😂
This is a very easy fix but these greedy lame loser companies wont grow a pair and do it. Put a damn limit!!!
Refuse to buy anything secondhand. Maybe I’m missing out maybe I’m not but these prices are insane.
Sold my prismatic etb case for $950. People are buying them up even at these crazy prices. My listing was barely up fr a couple hours ago
They shouldnt even put them out. Have them form a line in the back storage and have one staff member pass the etbs out and only limit to 2 per customer.
People need to stop paying resellers. People will run out of money before Pokémon cards ever run out. Not worth it
I missed the zulus preorders... i was awake too i just didnt think they would put them up ...and i had my notifications on silent
i bought all my cases of surging sparks for 599. stellar 550. twilight 539. Temporal 550. Paradox under 500. Base 480. OBF 89 a box. Paldea evo 580. All you had to was be early and believe and BUY when no one wanted the crap. also bought all swsh early and all the speciality sets like 151 and prism early. you have to have the stones.

Everything kept selling out before u could even add ur card info lol
at an investment stand point it's make sense, you got the cash and you have the opportunity, everyone would do the same. It's Black Friday deal, you snooze you loose.
Yeah perfect sense to carry an entire display of ETBs…
I think it’s all the newbies
People like that aren't a part of the Pokemon community. They wont sell it immediately. You can hold it for 1 year and probably see those ETB'S Increase by about 50% in price on average because of the timing of the supply right now.

Dollar general had a deal going on too ?!?! Damn I feel so dumb not nothing things like this. 🤦🏽♂️
Can you elaborate what the dollar general thing was?
This is
This is the same guy that was boasting about his discord in how they have pretty fast reaction times compared to free discord, and yet his team still wasn't able to get product.
That’s literally false. Several people in the discord were able to get what they wanted, so don’t put misinformation.

I was able to get 1 BS ETB from Target for $20. Made a Sunday hunt worth it. No drama or jerks, thankfully.
Crazy Black Friday I got a couple things but man was it hard.
I hid a Stellar Crown ETB to buy but didn't realize they werent on sale lol.
Target did things right with the Taylor Swift merchandise release.
Lines, product roped off, limits, and product handed out by an employee.
Can’t blame a guy for trying to make 7.99 after fees lol
I ordered two 151 poster collections from Walmart for 19.99 each. Now I'm worried because it's a third party and seen some reviews and redditors saying they are re-sealed while others are ok with it.

Scalpers are getting bad. I couldn’t get anything and I just wanted 1 box to open. I hope these people struggle to sell these items at full price
Lol...Tyrone! $100,000.00 crack party! Sadly, that kinda exemplifies the market right now.
I'm wait😢to purchase the reprint of SS
My local lgs had a 3 day in-person only deal:
$20 shrouded fable etbs, 4 per person, 20 available per day
$40 charizard box, 1 per person, 4 per day,
$125 msrp prismatic preorder

mfw grown ass adults are acting more childish than myself, the underage 😐. i couldnt even get one etb bruh
PokeNE did a profit breakdown of the whole display from the first fail. Came out to a little over 200 bucks. 🙄
People are the worst.
This is crazy.
Just wanted to say that tho waiting for days to get the PE with no luck. I was beginning to get discouraged as you have to be fast at the draw to purchase. I finally was able to score some PE at MSRP. All and all not bad.
I was only able to get 2 gallade tins from Walmart, got decent pulls at least
they live in socal, easy $50 on marketplace
But the stores are also at fault. They need to limit things. It'll still sell out but more people will get it.
I had wanted 4 of each but just for my personal collection and rips
I went to target and didn’t even get one
I think the Target guy is lame. That being said can we not pretend like doubling your money isn't a good investment.
I didn’t get any 🤕
I tried 😢
Same here
🥲
Let’s be honest, EVERYONE is trying to make profit. It’s sad even your local shops raided the Costcos. Entire pallets, not just 10 or 20. I got lucky to get 2. Just 2 yet it’s funny when people say, leave some for the kids.
