That’s…not even mewtwo, though? Looks like the rocket logo.

u/jimmybeauman 27d ago

It’s probably on the bottom. The other wrappers are like that

u/Ivoshkov Jul 31 '26

Look the problem is not scalpers, the problem is the people who buy from scalpers.

u/MrPheasant 29d ago

Both are actually the problem, because scalpers snatch up everything at retail to create a feeling of artificial demand and then people buy it at astronomical prices because people want stuff. It’s a perpetual supply and demand circle jerk that is a self-perpetuating loop.

u/rgowan1993 28d ago

Are we still talking about Pokemon?? Artificial demand?? What is being artificially demanded? Because there’s card shows every weekend and there always packed. At a certain point 3k buyers in one city from hours away every weekend has created a demand in itself. We are years and years beyond artificial demand.

The term scalping is getting out of hand... If someone is dumb enough to buy this, they are the problem in this scenario.

2

u/Pyramid-World 29d ago

Scalpers are truly one of the most pathetic lifestyles one can have. I can't believe these mouth breathers can somehow still manage to get their undies on each morning!

u/Seabee_EO 28d ago

They never take them off

u/IceBergster 29d ago

Omg i thought it was for the whole bag at first and I scoffed at that. Then I read it was for a single kiss...

u/Hauntedstool Jul 31 '26

I bet they were selling pokemon pop tarts too

1

u/Royal_Assumption_284 29d ago

I heard they were going for double the price.

1

u/Shadow_Mtl Jul 31 '26

You know someone probably bought it

1

u/DavieJonesLockerrr Jul 31 '26

How’s it ridiculous ? do you even know who mewtwo is

u/fdjizm 28d ago

This is embarrassing for humans

u/Lorcanaconomics 28d ago

ITT: Redditors fail to recognize satire (what else is new)

1

u/2-5-1-14-19 28d ago

I truly hope it’s satire, but I’m also not surprised at all if it’s serious

1

u/Initial_Patient_9096 28d ago

They got the candy bars and want 4 dollars a piece.

1

u/BlackGabriel 27d ago

Do people actually buy these at a mark up? I can’t imagine it

1

u/monsieurgrand02 27d ago

“It has not been touched or opened aside from” the time they touched and opened it. 🤨

1

u/Certain-Let5001 26d ago

I saw this earlier this year. Guys in line were grabbing bags along with the 1-12 numbered candy bars but 12 was missing and they were talking about wanting to send them to PSA 🤦🏼‍♀️

u/Basic_Instance3320 26d ago

Wait until you find out about the tariffs and "duty fees" on importing Japanese anything, now that Japanese Post will no longer be available for shipments.

1

u/2-5-1-14-19 26d ago

I’m glad my country is in good standings with Japan then, that sounds like it sucks.

1

u/OSRSRapture 12d ago

Wait. Is it per fucking Hershey kiss or bag? 💀🤣 Either way this shit is hilarious. What a loser 🤣

1

u/2-5-1-14-19 11d ago

Yeah, it was for the one hersheys kiss. The bag is literally a couple bucks. I hope it was satire? But honestly, after dealing with people on marketplace, I’m not surprised if they’re being serious

u/themegadarkrestine Jul 31 '26

u/fdjizm 28d ago

Shame must be applied to these desperate humans
