It's bizarre seeing grown 30-something men (usually obese and look like Discord mods), fighting over Pokemon cards in public and buying them up in a frenzy like they were hoarding toilet paper during Covid makes me violently angry. I just wanna buy my little siblings some pokemon cards and see these fat bastards like to fund their little reselling gimmick, treating little cards like sneaker reselling. I understand if it's a parent wanting to buy a couple boxes for their kids or an older brother wanting to find a gift for younger siblings. But this is terrible!

 

Scalpers and resellers are another cancer on the Earth that are middlemen who want a little profit cut for themselves. For example: if you pay $500 USD for a pair of SHOES, that is super dumb.

 

What are your encounters with those greedy losers? (I have a few myself, but talking about some of them would get me banned)

Spewing hatred and names at a group of people is not what we do here at the LTT Forums. Even if we don't like what they do, its not illegal.
