THIS is why I can’t find even 1!!!!

jaybirdmh93 · 02-22-2020, 05:37 PM

Prizm retail was bad but I got lucky before the vultures swooped in. Optic has been wiped out to the point I have to wonder if it even made it to shelves.

I found this auction photo mildly amusing, kinda sad and borderline shameful.

The ultimate example in greed? I dunno, but it sure as hell shows why I can’t even find one bit of Optic in retail

Didn’t even get out of the parking lot before trying to flip on eBay.

Why is everyone overpaying for retail? Those have terrible odds

Not a fan of this. Not even those that buy and re-sell to those that don't have access to hotter products.

Leave some for the kids. Seriously.

Hobby is $450 a box at my LCS and they are only selling as full boxes. I flat out refuse to do that.

nman84 · 02-22-2020, 05:56 PM

You’re telling me you’re not more inclined to buy it seeing the boxes on his crotch?

senorlaverga · 02-22-2020, 05:59 PM

I’d pay a premium depending on the crotch

I can joke too.

But I wish folks would help grow the hobby... by passing it on.

Maybe I'm a sap because I have two younger boys.

I ha e never bought retail above msrp. If I get it on the shelf, great. If not, it was not meant to be. I could have bought out all three Walmart’s in my town of Prizm when it hit, but because I don’t flip on eBay I left a lot for others. In fact I contacted a friend so he could get some. Yes he bought pretty much all of it.

These clowns can’t even get out of the parking lot before listing them on eBay

That’s a fire crotch if I’ve ever seen one.

brettmik59 · 02-22-2020, 07:39 PM

Dude's desperate to make like $10 or 20 after fees. If you don't have the balls to rip it, don't buy it.

Cavaliercards · 02-22-2020, 07:43 PM

We had someone come in Friday with 63 blasters, 18 megas, and 127 hangers looking to sell or trade.

This is always tough for me. I buy to rip and I leave some if I stumble upon it for this reason, but probably because I know that guy has no life and is about to walk into the store^

Also when I was a kid a $20-50 box of cards was a bday gift at best. When we say leave some for the kids what kind of coin are kids allotted for ripping retail wax today?

RogerGodahell · 02-22-2020, 07:56 PM

Well at least he made the appropriate eBay username

Did you offer him 50% value lol. That would have been pretty funny.

That's all i ever used to get offered to sell to a card shop back in the day. When i actually had LCS near me.

mikejones · 02-22-2020, 08:02 PM

This is in my area.

Nope, he got more than he paid and we are already sold out (again)

Well that's no fun. JK, I'm glad the business is doing well.

I wish there were more card shops around here where i live. Everything is pretty much 100% online for me.

Possibly a mounted camera like a GoPro.
