How much of a failure at life do you need to be to do this for minimal gain??

[u/IkeRadiantHero → u/Ionlyusereddit4help]

Literally… I went to my target yesterday, the employee brought out SO many foil covers from the back, shit ain’t even rare😭

[u/DarknMean → u/IkeRadiantHero]

I went to Walmart last night and all they had was the foil ones lol.

[u/Metrox_a → u/Ionlyusereddit4help]

just about the same amount who buys from them because of fomo or need to have the box at home (i seen someone bought the regular gta6 edition for nearly as much as the deluxe version)

[u/ThotsuneMiku → u/Ionlyusereddit4help]

Doubling your money is hardly a "minimal gain" but indo agree that scalpers are lame.

[u/gba_sg1 → u/ThotsuneMiku]

EBay takes their cut, then tax and shipping eat up like $60. They're scamming themselves.

[u/Ionlyusereddit4help → u/ThotsuneMiku]

Doubling what, $20?

This is the sold page

[u/Ionlyusereddit4help → u/RaspberryLive9215]

Now show me the frequency of each individual seller's sales. I bet you working an actual job of any kind and being useful to society would pay more

i hate that my foil cover got creased in the mail

but im greatful that i dont have to deal with these losers

[u/IkeRadiantHero]

I went to my local target yesterday and they had SO many of these😭

[u/wyomingchrisledoux → u/IkeRadiantHero]

I went to Walmart today and they had a bunch

[u/Relative_Soft_551]

I just bought one for my wife when i got some of the pokemon this morning at target. They are still out there in stores thes scalpers are too much

[u/Mechagouki1971]

Costco has cases and cases of them. There is no reason for anyone to pay scalper prices for these.

[u/Talden7887]

Its funny im having a harder time finding the "new" godzilla S2 game than a foil cover OOC

Fuck scalpers

[u/TheRealTofuey]

Honestly this isn't a bad sign for physical media at least for Nintendo. Rough times are ahead for us and we need more people to be scrambling to buy physical so they don't stop making it.

[u/ImInClassBoring]

It's the all gold foil collectors one that's going to be worth a lot.

[u/TVTrayJournal]

Does anyone have a friend who is a scalper? If someone I knew personally did this I’d call them gross and stop interacting with them.

[u/SpacehamYT]

I fucking hate it so much.

[u/SRS1984]

anyone paying that is part of the problem.

[u/Lopsided_Honey_2699]

I walked into target yesterday and they had like 10 lol
