So long as Pokémon TCG exists, there’ll all the time be scalpers seeking to make a fast buck from the sport’s uncommon playing cards and packs.
Living proof, a brand new video has surfaced wherein two males seem like combating it out to reap the benefits of a kiosk restock. The video comes from TikTok consumer ‘yoc9official‘, who seems to be one of many males instantly concerned within the altercation, although he claims to be well-intentioned and is just buying playing cards for his personal assortment.
The opposite man, nonetheless, carrying the Philadelphia Eagles jumper, is supposedly a recognized scalper in response to the feedback on the video, and seems to be attempting to dam the kiosk with out making it appear as if he is committing any type of bodily assault.
It is actually fairly embarrassing:
It is troublesome to inform what’s being mentioned within the video since there isn’t any audio, and a second add would not actually shed a lot mild on the incident, both. It sounds just like the Eagles man is attempting to defend his place, claiming that he got here into the shop a number of occasions; presumably to hit the kiosk on the precise time the restock takes place.
Some people within the feedback have mentioned that if you wish to buy Pokémon playing cards for your self, then it’s a must to play scalpers at their very own sport and get there first every time restocks happen. Truthfully, it is all a little bit of a multitude.
Again in 2021, scalpers took benefit of a promotion on the UK retailer GAME wherein Euro 2020 playing cards had been being supplied up at no cost. Mentioned playing cards shortly discovered their means on eBay for silly costs. If that is not ridiculous sufficient, scalpers tried to promote restricted version Pokémon Oreos throughout the identical yr, posting them on eBay for buy-it-now costs of as much as $25,000.
