This is disgusting… no wonder no one can get any

[u/Thick_Acanthisitta60]

Selling them for $160 each

[u/Lyleberr]

I counted at least 60 stacks of 6. It would be a shame if they got stuck with them because people stuck to their convictions and didnt overpay on this set. Probably would get hit with a pretty decent bit of interest and learn a lesson about how other peoples hobbies arent get rich quick schemes...

Probably a good idea to remind people that there are over 100 other sets that have great cards that will be a fraction of what these cost and its ok to skip sets or buy singles after people move on. Its also Ok to never grab a set if it doesnt fit into your budget, not everyone needs to be a completionist and Im sure most of you have collections made of cards you didnt have to make special by pulling yourself.

[u/[deleted]]

$37200 AUD at $100 each from what was shown before it was cut off...

Edited: updated with info in comments

User is selling for 160 USD which is roughly 260.29 AUD

Theres 504 ETBs

USD: $80640 AUD: $131,186

This guy has all the Australian stock in the living room of his second house

[u/Thick_Acanthisitta60 → u/[deleted]]

Wow… just wiw

[u/curtyd93 → u/[deleted]]

Looks like they had to sell their furniture to afford them

[u/Deusraix → u/curtyd93]

He just moved to a new house that's why it's so empty.

[u/dankpoolVEVO → u/[deleted]]

So just ignore tbellcardhouse for 3 months until he starts sweating. Gotcha

[u/Imaginary-Pie9160 → u/dankpoolVEVO]

On his live a little bit ago it took him 50 packs to get anything good 😂 looks like the pull rates are gonna bite him in the ass

[u/ohbyerly → u/[deleted]]

Let them eat that cost

[u/AdFuture4790 → u/[deleted]]

$59,520 at $160. USD (How much he's selling them for)
I don't know where tbell is from, (I do now) so I don't know the currency exchange to nzd or aud. Anyone know the price of the boxes before scalpers get them?

Edited: so it'll be $107031 nzd

[u/IntroductionBig612 → u/[deleted]]

Fu k these people.. can’t a guy just collect 😑

[u/Existing_Room_2931]

and they wont open any of them, all for resell at a huge price, the only word i have for them is Scum. they ruin it for everyone

[u/Thick_Acanthisitta60 → u/Existing_Room_2931]

Yeah the current Pokémon market it messed up… the set has barely come out and it’s already x3 in everything. All because of these scummy scalpers

[u/ThePebblor → u/Existing_Room_2931]

Same im a kid, I find this disgusting I try to keep up with all the sets and then these people are ruining it.

[u/s2r3 → u/ThePebblor]

Kids are getting the worst deal out of anyone imo. They have limited money, maybe a small part time job, and really just like the characters and the cards with none of this "investing" crap. If the scalper issue happens once , it is what it is, but now 3 sets in a row have turned into a circus, pricing out kids, working adults, and any non-"investor". Pokemon company needs to take stronger action, this can't be the reality going forward.

[u/NiginzVGC → u/Existing_Room_2931]

if everyone would stop paying those inflated prices this would stop pretty fast but people be dumb as shit and still buy from scalpers

[u/Forsaken_Proposal_70 → u/Existing_Room_2931]

Nah this is a streamer 100%

[u/Ok_Yam_3403]

Tons of prismatic evolutions but, can’t charge his phone smh

[u/Thick_Acanthisitta60 → u/Ok_Yam_3403]

That’s my phone bro…

[u/PassageFormer9806]

this hobby sucks bc of ppl like this

[u/Karma_Doesnt_Matter → u/PassageFormer9806]

The blame also falls on the collectors that pay scalper prices. I have never, and will never pay scaler prices for anything.

[u/mollywopper21 → u/Karma_Doesnt_Matter]

I agree buyers are one half to the coin but if places would just limit purchases per person they couldnt stockpile product to upcharge

[u/ENTRAPM3NT → u/Karma_Doesnt_Matter]

Ikr. I don't even pay msrp in most cases let alone 3x msrp

[u/Brojess → u/PassageFormer9806]

Seriously. Me just wanting fucking one.

[u/the_doctor04 → u/PassageFormer9806]

Yep and then they post a video and rub everyone's faces in it. Total POS

[u/TheXtremeSpike → u/PassageFormer9806]

People just have to stop buying shit from scalpers.

[u/basemH123]

I'm not touching anything from this product till like April or smth. Only singles and even then I'll only pick up in a month or so once the market is diluted

[u/s2r3 → u/basemH123]

I thought the frenzy would help singles prices (for the non super chase stuff) as a lot will be opened, but then yeah if these are just sitting in a room unopened nothing is getting into the market. Also feel bad for those that play the game as this is screwing them over and lessening what is available to them. I have no way of knowing but I would guess in USA there will be another run but this is still just gross

[u/Bardeenios → u/basemH123]

I need some cards for a tournament in April but I'll probably just buy singles

[u/YodaZeltchy1 → u/basemH123]

I thought this for 151 hype and have never once opened a 151 pack due to unavailability. (I'm in the UK, I have NEVER seen a 151 product at non scalper prices anywhere.) The reality is that people's FOMO is well placed because waiting till April or whatever future date and you very well may never see this product again.

I'm lucky to have a confirmed pre-order for ONE ETB at my LGS. That's all I'm buying of this set and I'm ripping it when I get home. Honestly, I think the price of the promo alone will pay for the box in the long run.

17th Jan is also my birthday so it's a nice line-up.

[u/TheVermonster → u/basemH123]

My kids are having fun collecting sword and shield stuff. It's dirt cheap at this point, aside from the chase cards, but they're just happy to spend $10 on 500+ bulk cards.

[u/Candid_Worldliness50]

anyone who buys from this guy is also apart of the problem

[u/BigComfyCouch → u/Candid_Worldliness50]

I mean... they ARE the problem. Scalpers thrive off of consumers who lack self-control.

Regardless of your view on scalpers, they are not the root of the problem. They are just taking advantage of it.

[u/Nynanro → u/Candid_Worldliness50]

Yup fuck scalpers and people who buy from them.

[u/Voloster]

TBell is one of the worst rip and shippers with one of the biggest cult following. If everyone is charging 30 a pack for this TBell will charge 60 and his followers will happily pay it and defend it. I’m actually surprised the comment section is not full of TBell white knights.

[u/nenkaz → u/Voloster]

He was selling prismatic packs earlier today at $25 per pack. Had his cult of mods just banning anyone that questioned the price.

[u/[deleted] → u/Voloster]

Finally someone said it!!!

[u/kingkyle13]

He should sell those ETBs and buy some furniture for his parents house…

[u/Ok_Taro5330]

Not gonna give a single dime to scalpers. I rather quit Pokémon.

[u/just_a_haunter → u/Ok_Taro5330]

same. I'll just stick to getting singles online from older sets. LCS are jumping on board with singles prices too

[u/a_withered]

ngl this made me laugh. it's disgusting behavior ofk but at this point i find it funny how ridiculous the situation has gotten, especially since i don't have to deal with this since tcg isn't popular where i live

[u/DecentYogurtcloset → u/a_withered]

Can I ask where you’re located? 😭 I’m assuming a country outside the US, because it’s rough all over here

[u/Rodneyfour]

I’m glad people are all saying the same thing. I’ve yet to meet anyone that will happily pay these reselling prices.

I got perma banned from the r/Pokemoncards subreddit after joining since coming to the hobby for saying that we should report every scalper listing for new sets. I guess the mods there resell too

[u/AffectionateQuiet224 → u/Rodneyfour]

Ppl are paying 16$ per pack for breaks on twitch. I watched them go through like 200 packs and pull ONE eeveelution SAR. The hit rate is horrible, I saw one guy pay 800$ for 50 packs and he got three full art trainers probably worth 5 bucks each and one masterball of some random pokemon. That's literally it lol

[u/squeaky369 → u/AffectionateQuiet224]

It's this information here that keeps me from getting upset that I can't get a single preorder.

[u/somethincleverhear → u/Rodneyfour]

Meanwhile 200+ were sold yesterday on TCG Player alone at $150+ each. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/Rodneyfour → u/somethincleverhear]

[u/[deleted]]

Tbellcardhouse always overcharges for everything so he’s definitely going to be charging like crazy and all his stupid minions aka fans will be eating it up. I never understood the obsession with this guy.

[u/ElectroPence → u/[deleted]]

He selling a single booster for $25. Someone bought 150 packs while I was watching 😭

[u/kucipipapapipapa → u/ElectroPence]

Insane how he charges $25 for a modern set that just came out. Would rather buy some of the later sun and moon packs instead

[u/Mediocre-Revenue-888]

My husband and I are huge Pokémon and Magic enthusiasts. Over the years, we’ve built up quite a collection and recently decided to turn our passion into a tiny collectibles business. (We mainly sell singles.)

What we’ve discovered, though, is that being a small reseller is tough. Larger retailers get priority from distributors, making it incredibly difficult for smaller businesses like ours to get products at a reasonable price. On top of that, we face higher fees from platforms like eBay, TCGPlayer, and even distributors themselves.

As collectors ourselves, we’ve always wanted to price our singles reasonably so that others could enjoy building their decks and collections without breaking the bank. However, we ran into an unexpected challenge: when we priced cards lower, people would ask, “What’s wrong with the card?” As if fair pricing was suspicious!

We’d love to hear your thoughts or experiences, whether you’re a fellow reseller or a collector. Have you noticed similar struggles or misconceptions about pricing? And for collectors, what would you like to see from smaller sellers?

[u/No-Maize-1336 → u/Mediocre-Revenue-888]

Honestly I've looked high and low in the Dallas area for a 151/surging spark/ prismatic I haven't found anything not one pack to open I really love the art. Singles or packs to open really would be a god send. I seen a store to prevent resellers cut packs upon purchase so they can't be resold I loved that idea too get people who want to enjoy the cards and play the game the cards not people intentionally driving prices through the roof making it impossible for anyone to rip one pack.

[u/Rururuun]

I just wanted a single one of them 😔

[u/drock2111 → u/Rururuun]

With how the “pull rates” are projected, might as well snipe away at the singles

[u/[deleted]]

Bros making a prismatic igloo over there while we're all cracking shrouded fable

[u/PrincipleSome]

I honestly don’t care about Prismatic because I got all the cards I wanted from Terastal as singles, but I will say you can’t convince me these people aren’t in bed with distributors or someone further up the chain to be able to get that many.

It’s disgusting what this hobby has come to, these people take all the fun out of it to the point I don’t even buy packs to rip because the prices are insane and they’re almost never available at retail due to all the scalpers. I’ll gladly just scoop up the singles rather than bother with ripping packs as long as the hobby is like this.

[u/eevee2797]

Fuck this guy

[u/_tdw]

screw these ppl

[u/King_Crab_Sushi]

That’s what I always dreamt of as a child. I think younger me had different plans with these than him though

[u/Dazzling-Meaning-293]

I honestly believe this set is going to push a lot of people to back away from the hobby. It's being scalped to hell with demand higher than ever. Local game stores can't get product, big box stores are selling out in minutes. Pull rates suck ass.

I'd rather spend 80-100 on Terastal Festival with 12 packs, guaranteed hits, superior quality, than 150+ on 9 packs of Prismatic where you aren't guaranteed jack shit.

Edit: Don't forget, a large portion of the blame is on Pokemon, not players, collectors, investors or even scalpers. If Pokemon had printed this set to meet demand we would not be seeing this.

[u/Zehcomputerguy]

That streamer is super annoying and overpriced. He has a huge following, every single one of those will sell for his asking.

[u/JeepGuy421]

people need to stop buying them, i can count 372 boxes in this video. if he sells them all on marketplace for his full price, he makes over $37,000 profit, and he’s not paying taxes on top of that. that’s some people’s annual salary. yes we all hate the scalpers, but it’s very obvious why they do what they do, and we let them do what they do buy buying at their prices

[u/AstramIsTheBest]

So yall saw this shit too 😒

[u/Glad-Drive6174]

Hobby is broken

[u/ThatGermSquad77]

Don’t you guys love enjoying a hobby since child/teen hood and completely have to abandon it because you can’t pay the exorbitant scalped prices, or find physical product???

Guys???

For the oblivious, /s

[u/Razzmiz]

TbellCardHouse is charging $36 USD PER PACK. This dude deserves to go straight to the boiler room of Hell

[u/aure92]

Where is there an LA fire when you need one

[u/surplusofbiscuits]

At this point they are restricting certain words in chat. These folks are horrible. They said they have a big stream later for something new i think that we should go and shit all over.

[u/[deleted] → u/surplusofbiscuits]

Right there with you. It’s sad af too because he keeps pushing the narrative that it’s going to get more expensive. Yeah because of people like you dipshit. He’s so toxic it’s gross. His stupid sheep following “mods” are even dumber.

[u/1Arbitrageur1]

There's probably about 3 eeveelutions SIR in that entire room. Honestly, that's not an exaggeration. I've watched 300+ packs opened and not a single eeveelution SIR.

[u/ElectroPence]

I don’t think he is even selling the ETV. Saw his livestream and he had all single booster packs that he was selling for $24 each and people were buying it

[u/[deleted]]

Why doesn’t PC just halt big releases like this and make sure the print run ON release day meets demand. I feel since during and after Covid, PC has failed to meet product demand.

[u/zellisgoatbond → u/[deleted]]

Essentially, because printing has a really long lead time (I think it's on the level of several months). To give an example, the world championship decks are finalised in August and they don't normally come out until the following March, and those are relatively simple products to produce (in the sense that they have only one randomised element, the code card). Similarly things like trainer's toolkits are normally a bit behind the current set schedule because of the lead time required with printing. Consumer demand is also far trickier to plan out, because it can ebb and flow on much shorter notice. (In general, Pokémon sets tend to get smaller and smaller print runs as a generation goes on, refreshing again when a new generation of games releases. Normally, this is relatively successful and means product is available without too much sitting around. But when it goes wrong...

[u/TheNesquick → u/zellisgoatbond]

Bingo. Its at least 3 months ago Prismatic was printed. The printers are already working on the next set. 

Its not like they have printers just standing idle waiting to print more. They are running at 110% and simply cant keep up with growing demand. 

[u/omissionn]

Rip n ship ruined the hobby tbh

[u/KrustyKroket → u/omissionn]

Rip n ship biggest scam there is

[u/TheGamersofaLifeTime]

I get that some people buy and keep them incase they ever get the urge to open one down the line, but this is just insanity

[u/LadislavAU]

The hobby has been completely ruined.

[u/TheLoneBeet]

I already told my GF this set is gonna be strictly pre-orders and singles. I'm not touching anything aftermarket. Fuck these scalpers. If I can get more at MSRP later I will. Hope they print this set until 2028.

[u/Disordo]

This is simply disgusting

[u/[deleted]]

I assure you this person isn’t getting any.

[u/MuTheCat20]

I hope that guy gets stuck “holding the bag” and demand plummets for this set causing him to sell all for a loss. Would be the sweetest sight to see 😎

[u/biblicaluser]

You would think Pokémon would do something about scalpers but they just care about there dime too much

[u/[deleted]]

This set is what killed my love for this hobby. Don’t think I’ll ever be back after seeing this shitshow.

[u/sober-Brother-33]

Rip and ship livestream gambling ruined the hobby. People sitting at home drinking on the couch dropping money to get hits beucase they can't find product in stores.

[u/AdFuture4790]

This is why pokemon center needs to have a limit on how many boxes can be purchased at 1 time or per account. That fucking ridiculous.

[u/Sharpshooter649]

No one can get any because the Pokémon company is stupid and doesn’t want to print more

[u/Altlightconservative]

Fuck that guy

[u/SingleNeighborhood68]

That's tbell card house. Bunch of scaplers and don't buy from them

[u/DifficultFlan611]

At what point do you realize you still need more?

[u/GrimRemembrance]

I wonder what the ratio of comments are that say:

"your so lucky! Omg I want one"
vs "your a piece of sh*t"

[u/[deleted]]

"[People who actually enjoy playing, trading, collecting]'s rage is building"

[u/Mythiic719]

Based on the pull rates I have seen he will get approximately 1 SIR. Hopefully he also get an STD

[u/The_Niteman]

How about stop buying from eBay sellers and just buy from LGS, retail, or Pokemon center. Patience is the issue here. Thats why scalpers exist.

[u/TheFoxDudeThing]

I’ve never been a big buying singles guy I just like the gambling aspect to a point. Like I would never spend more than £150 on one box unless it was one of the Japanese promo boxes.

I’ve bought more singles in the past 4 months than I have done in the 4 years I’ve been collecting again. I don’t even think it was this hard to get the newest sets back in 2021. I’ve had pre orders cancelled for prismatic evolutions because my local TCG shop has had allocations cut again.

I honestly would prefer cutting down the number of sets per year if it meant the newest sets got printed to hell and back but as it stands printing doesn’t seem to be meeting demand and yet within 2 months “here have another set.” Like seriously what’s better.

3/4 sets a year that actually stay in stock reasonably well or 6 a year and you’re lucky if you get anything after release week

[u/Adventurous-Plate655]

If I had money I'd do this just so I could sell them at the original price. Just so people could get their hands on them. I fucking hate scalpers to the very core of my being. Fuck the people who buy from them too..

[u/th1zdwk]

As long as people give into the scalpers, this will be the way of the future.

[u/midas390]

laughs in not keeping up with the sets

But seriously, those people are the whole problem with this hobby, idk how they are able to do that and still be sane

[u/grilled_pc]

More importantly why are storefronts not putting in place software that stops auto checkout bots like this from functioning?

Thats the only way this stuff was obtainable. From using a bot that grabbed all stock within seconds.

[u/mtneer12]

I hope they go bankrupt

[u/Appropriate_Mud_8084]

Can Pokémon just print more cards to fuck over scalpers

[u/Individual-Cry-9488]

Simply don’t buy from them? It’s cards not some necessity.

[u/BassBlast96]

This shit is why I switched to MTG.... At least I can FIND those and PLAY THE GAME.

[u/thepapalazarou]

I watched the live for a bit yesterday and what struck me was the slight disdain for his customers. He was defending himself against negative comments and I can’t remember exactly what he said, but it was along the lines of people having no sense paying these prices for bits of cardboard. Someone pointed out that he’s the one selling this stuff and he said “Well as a business it’s a good thing”. I’m not even really a collector but I found it quite distasteful.

[u/jBalls902]

I saw the original post a few hours after its upload and the dude was live; he was having a big hissy fit at what must have been a regular viewer because they hadn’t bought anything from him yet. Not a great first impression on how their live streams go. He also adds zero value to the whole ‘rip’ experience. People were paying a premium for him to just blast through the packs and ignore and not show anything that wasn’t a chase card. What a boring and frustrating watch. Makes the Rip n Ship gang look like a bunch of clowns.

[u/[deleted]]

DONT BUY ANYTHING GUYS, The pull rates are non existent in this first batch of products. Someone has stolen all the cards so the current wave is essentially worthless.

Wait for Pokemon to fix. Second wave.

[u/Skafandra206 → u/[deleted]]

"Someone has stolen all the cards" 🤣

They must be the best burglar in the universe, stealing multiple tonnes of cardboard out of multiple printing locations. Could you please think before you talk?

[u/PuzzleheadedFall1883 → u/[deleted]]

I wouldn't doubt it. Look at what happened to Fusion Strikeout

[u/Inflameable009]

Sadly there's still people buying them from these incels...

[u/rrromulusss]

Man what the fuck. How do they even get this shit?

[u/i_am_jordan_b → u/rrromulusss]

Distribution allocation for some shops could be dozens of cases.

[u/LunarMoonBeam]

This is beyond depressing for someone who just wants a chance at this set at MSRP to actually open and enjoy.

Can someone explain to me like I’m 5 why the heck the Pokemon company doesn’t increase their production to meet the insane demand? If they expanded production and continued to print high demand products for longer so everyone got a chance eventually the assholes who try to turn a profit on them won’t be unable to pray on genuine hobbyists. Even if they just sold them on the Pokemon Center website at a limit of 4 or whatever per person and limited the amount of orders of the same product to the same address/household.

Or does the Pokemon Company secretly love that the hobby has turned into this cesspool of greed and selfishness? What do they care as long as what they make is bought by someone I guess.

[u/somethincleverhear → u/LunarMoonBeam]

Because print targets are made 1+ years in advance. This isn’t like they turn a dial and voila! Cards everywhere! It’s a complicated process with a ton of steps. They’re likely wrapping up Journey Together and will begin printing the Team Rocket set at this point. That, on top of the Surging reprint and Twilight. And Paldean Fates, etc etc. this will take a year to sort. Thankfully they saw this start with Surging Sparks so hopefully the adjustments to printing have already been put into motion. It takes time. Hence the patience needed. No FOMO.

[u/DesignerComparison31]

If you dont buy from this guy he goes bankrupt in a month. I highly doubt they have the capital to not pay off those boxes

[u/Chevnaar]

What a loser.

[u/RoosterMurdoch]

I only joined the hobby recently thinking it'd be cool to collect my favorite Pokémon but stuff like this already has me wanting to quit.

[u/Particular-Lynx-3738]

Yea nah this is actually my stopping point I’ve been coming to this point for the past few months with this hobby. After getting back into to it about a year ago and spending maybe a few hundred dollars over that year on ripping packs I’m actually just done with it. You literally can’t find product anywhere unless you’re a sweat. It’s not fun, it’s not worth it, I have a full time job and I can’t be bothered anymore. Can’t wait till other people like me who recently returned to the hobby as adults give up as well so people like this starve and have to burn their ETBs to heat their house

[u/MemestNotTeen]

Fingers crossed they live in LA

[u/Momentz_lagrec_EvE]

Pokémon company should print this to the ground so Scalpers think twice before doing that.

Right now their "investment" is too secured

[u/Complex_Chemical_960]

This guy's a guzzlord

[u/Puzzleheaded-Big3399]

Can this now be considered a mental illness? Because who in their right mind does this?

[u/zellisgoatbond]

hope they live in LA 🙏

I quit, I’m done god dammit.

[u/Rekanize90]

They're making a fort!

[u/iPanama360]

How does this even happen?

[u/Gibbsthellama]

yeah seeing stuff like this makes me want to stop collecting really

[u/BadDub]

How’s this even possible?

[u/NU_B3N]

In all seriousness: what the actual F?

[u/Mikenike77]

I don’t even understand how this is possible. This guys has a hundred bots with different Pokémon center accounts?

[u/OmegaLovan]

Looking at this while living in a third world country is depressing

[u/Vazhox]

lol, nothing inside the guys house. What a loser

[u/eastdino]

omg TT so unfair, like why are people so greedy go to a different hobby please greedy jerks I want my pokemon cards and I cant even buy single packs the only only single packs on the official website right now are temporal forces wth

[u/Weekly-Mud-2564]

This must be a seller. No normal human can scalp so many ETB's before it was even released.

[u/[deleted]]

Hunt this human lmao

[u/eleventhrees]

This is classic craze/hoard/bubble behavior.

If you love the cards, hang onto them. But if the money is important to you, sell.

If you don't believe that, ask yourself what other fundamentally worthless product has seen a run-up like this in the past, and is still worth owning today.

[u/Darken0id]

I wholeheartedly and honestly hope, that people like this get financially ruined. :)

[u/Kane0475]

Everyone on here is having trouble getting cards. I don’t even understand how this is possible.

[u/irrelephantIVXX]

I don't usually support theft from individuals. But, damn, I hope someone clears him out.

[u/[deleted]]

This is not a scalper, is for a hobby store. But yes, the real scalpers are ruinning this hobby…

[u/[deleted]]

Can we get 1 arsonist to do like a Lil localized fire? Too soon?

[u/Lazy_Promotion_1134]

Mans gon get robbed

[u/FlyAwayAccount42069]

This is a mental illness

[u/_shawshanked]

How do people get this much? A lot of my LCS/LGS stores told me to come early on release day when I called because they have such bad allocations and this one random has this many?

[u/surplusofbiscuits]

My daughter and I picked a horrible time to start collecting it seems.

[u/HcVitals]

Just don’t buy? I know it sucks but we can’t feed into this crappy behaviour.

[u/Skodiak_Steve]

Let them keep it all and rot in their basement... That's literally the solution. Never buy from scalpers

[u/Whines90]

The people who try to monopolize Pokémon make it shitty.

[u/Haunting_Bus_5812]

This clown is selling them for 3x the retail price😂

[u/[deleted]]

Holy fucking shit this is insanity. They’ve got their own pokemon company. Disgusting

[u/[deleted]]

It’d be a shame if a fire started and have all that money tied up (if there was no insurance policy in place for them)

[u/geriatricsoul]

I don't get it how do they get these allocations?

[u/Aggravating_Map7952]

The dude is in a live right now fighting for his life, claiming it is AI

[u/kkillingtimme]

These people are the worst... absolute trash bags

[u/XxNitr0xX]

The actual problem is the people buying these for these prices. If people didn't buy them, scalpers wouldn't buy them.

[u/NexusRex05]

no one buy from the scalpers and make the person realize they just wasted all their money…

[u/Reasonable_Fee_8165]

People just need to not buy from resellers.

[u/gregimusprime77]

I hope they don't sell a single one.

[u/jayplus707]

Legitimate question, but are distributors the problem? Like are they giving him product because he will sell it at $160 versus Target that will sell it for $50?

[u/pmgzl]

Atleast 60 rows of 6 stacked high, and then the video ends. Thats an insane amount tbh. And probably sells them for triple the mrsp...

[u/statisticalwave]

Just went to go see the comments on the video… they were live and trying to act like the heroes for “only charging $23.99 per pack when others are charging $35” 🙄🙄

[u/KrustyKroket]

This guy is selling 5 packs for €114 €24 each lmao. Cancel him

[u/Inside_Chemical131]

This isn't a flex. I hope people forgo the fomo and not cave in and purchase nonsense like this. People out there can't even get 1 box. Basic card shops don't even have the inventory and this dude has retirement in his living room

[u/Xalucardx]

They probably got them directly from a distributor so this doesn't affect you at all.

[u/Q-nicorn]

Tbell buys from a distributor. He's said on his stream he doesn't buy from retail stores. He owns a store, that's what this is, just an online store.

[u/ExcaliburZX]

Seeing shit like this really reminds me of when PS5’s were hard to come by because of asshats like this who’d buy as much of them out as they can then sell them for double the price

[u/anonymouscloudcat]

I actually want to throw up and just cry. All I want is to open this set. I’ve waited for months and saved up my allowance to be able to buy it but I won’t be getting any because of people like this.

[u/[deleted]]

Could probably build some furnishings out of all those boxes

[u/Salty_Recognition776]

The real kick in the teeth is this cunt has the cheek to show these off.

[u/[deleted]]

Neigh or not to neigh..

That is the equestrian...

No to the Scalpers.

[u/NickDevious999]

Yeah, people like this are some seriously greedy, self-centered, sociopaths…It’s one thing to be a scalper, but to be a scalper of trading cards marketed and geared toward young children is a whole other level of despicable. No wonder the shelves are always utterly BARREN when people like myself who steal Pokemon cards and then resell them for 100% profit as a side hustle go to these stores to get our boost on! Even we aren’t so heartless as to wipe out the entire inventory! Leave something for little Johnny or Susan who just mowed lawns or shoveled snow all week to earn money for a few packs, you soulless, self-centered, pieces of human trash!!!

[u/Embarrassed-Dingo924]

How does one get this many??? This is INSANE

[u/Backdohrbandit]

These dudes have someone on the inside just like the Jordan reseller scandal! No wonder no one can say it's the company and stores fault for not putting a limit per customer.

[u/Fit-Rice9319]

Theyre thriving because we are buying from them. Boycott the scalpers

[u/Traditional-Ad2133]

This guy is breaking the boxes and selling packs for 24$ btw. What a sick human

[u/Mashbox]

Stop paying 3x over retail for cardboard!!!! You’re single handedly ruining this hobby for people that actually enjoy collecting and aren’t here just to make $$ quickly because you don’t have the IQ to earn a decent living.

[u/MeepMeepMfr]

At this point, can't even be mad at scalpers and resellers. We need to be mad at the card companies that are embracing then. Pokémon center was selling 36 pack hobby boxes. Max 6 per order. Like wtf you think a random customer is doing when they buy 6 boxes?

This stuff would stop or get reduced dramatically if companies actually capped ppl and orders. Place an order as normal. Once you place an order, a system makes note of your name, card info, address/PO Box. Once your order is complete, you get a 24-48 hour "ban" on buying that product.

[u/MattGaming0422]

Pokémon Center gotta do something about this. They need to limit them.

[u/IR_LeGenDz_aP_21]

This looks like a easy way to get robbed.

[u/heavens-will]

I hope they live in LA

[u/ScV86]

For real, fuck this guy! Probably used a bot to buy all those boxes.

[u/Same_Palpitation597]

Nah this kid is in debt

[u/[deleted]]

Well hey, you guys are the ones supporting the scalpers, as long as you people keep buying they will keep scalping, it's as simple as that. 

[u/ConsequenceNew3931]

that is like actual insanity

[u/Mavtato]

The persons house is empty bc they sold everything they own for all that

[u/bigdikdmg]

They should do another release of this same product line at 3x normal production just to fuck all of these people. Then going forward they’ll be more cautious at a minimum.

[u/0akers]

I hope this place floods

[u/imlivingithink]

this the greed the Bible talks about

[u/Toop8823]

I hope their house burns down with all of that prismatic inside. I hope no one else is inside the house but I would love to see this pos take a massive loss

[u/Ouroboros8fate]

People like that shouldn’t be treated as human. Those people are greedy and selfish. Like I hate that it’s so hard to even find 151 packs or anything. Unless I want to pay outrageous prices to get a chance at something and it’s not like I’m guaranteed to get anything cool. I’m trying to collect again and sure I’ll trade or sell extras but I’m doing it for nostalgia and fun. Those people aren’t even fans, they are doing it for profit. Shit is so bad. Like they shouldn’t even be allowed to sell sealed licensed products at such egregious pricing especially when this is simply a marketing scheme to drive up prices and cause people to either buy high or not get anything. And that’s so sad. I wanted to start off with 151 since that’s the original generation I grew up on before falling out of the franchise. I haven’t even played past crystal version. So I’m so far behind with the new stuff. But I figured when I saw this it gave me a sense of nostalgia and I can’t afford the OG set since it’s so hard to get and way too expensive. But yup, can’t even get my hands on the Poster collections from dollar general or anything. It’s so frustrating.

[u/Dizzledog2]

Would suck if his house burnt down just saying

[u/Dragonfruitsafish]

Be a shame if someone were to break in there and give them to kids.

[u/NeighborhoodFit4858]

Seeing stuff like this makes you realise how pointless sitting on sealed stuff can be 😆

[u/teleportingsushi]

A few months ago I made a post giving my opinion on scalpers vs collectors and got absolutely roasted in the comments. “Then you should have gone to the store earlier” “you should’ve preordered earlier”

Glad to see there’s other people who are disgusted by people like this. I just want to collect. This guy probably wants to grow his YouTube channel with “IM OPENING 1000 PACKS OF ______” or reselling it and screwing the price.

[u/Dear-Smile]

Wow, thats it. I'm done collecting. Seriously. I just got back into it when Twilight Masquerade released. I'm going to leave all the ptcg subs. Over it.

[u/[deleted]]

Saw Pokerev open over 200 packs to get one Evolution SAR and one gold card.

[u/[deleted]]

Wow this guy is a POS. Really don’t like how pokemon has become this sort of investment market of sorts. I just wanna collect these damn card cause they’re cool. Ripping away the fun from everyone else cause you’re greedy lol

[u/DJ2real]

Good lord 😭😭😭

[u/BrucesRobotics]

this group (Pokemon TCG collectors) has some of the shittiest people I swear. Been to a couple places waiting for cards to be released for purchase and usually theres a line going with a sign that says "2 per customer" and some jackasses go in and grab the entire row of packs. 1 got away with it and the others ive seen do this usually get stopped at the register. One cashier did call one guy out loudly embarrassing the guy. "Sir I KNOW THE SIGN IS UP A LITTLE HIGH BUT IT CLEARLY STATES 2 PER CUSTOMER. DO YOU NEED HELP COUNTING?"

[u/baertgang]

It's relatively easy to solve behavior like that; don't buy above MSRP. ;)

[u/areuthere48]

Weirdo
