>flipping childrens card games is more profitable than working a full time job with less than 10% the effort What the actual fuck is society even doing? Its NEVER been less worth it to wage and "contribute" to society. Whats the fucking endgame here?
>>524237269Welcome to capitalism retard
>travel to Japan>buy Manga at 5% of the online price en masse>sell to nerds>???>profit
>>524237269Realistically this guy probably went into negative profit with this.You need multiple CASES for big hits now - not just a few boxes.
You can go dumpster diving and sell the shit you find out of there on facebook marketplace
>>524237345Kikes printing trillions at will and giving it to their friends isnt capitalism dipshit.
>>524237269>mystery booster box the only thing worthwhileAh well give it ten years I guess
>>524237269who the hell is retarded enough to buy MTG for profit beyond the core sets?pretty much everything post 7th Ed is overprinted slop
>>524237404What do you think would happen under your retarded libertarian version of capitalism? No regulations, pure power to the corporations and their Jew rulers, they wouldn't even need to bother printing monopoly money
>>524237646Ancap retards are like a funny fossil of pre-2016 times, when society was still rich and functional enough to enable them larping around
>>524237404now think about how many Times the must have favored their own kind in insurance claims for example.
>>524237269That's a bubble too, everything is. They sell to other flippers and/or youtubers that open packs on cam to gamble for a big hit of some shiny card to sell. Kids dont play or get involved from their rule parents that buy all the plushies and shit at the shows, even then they mostly collect. No one desk builds from imagination or from the random cards they got, its meticulously pieced together from and online min/max deck and purchased singles, fun. Sports cards are doing something interesting at least by adding actual memorabilia (autographs) in the cards themselves. Regardless its pathetic man children making a soi face and screeching like a monkey when they get a certain trading card is not talked about enough maybe because it involves money so women think if their man hits it big they will spend some on them
>>524237269> 2019 slopno one is buying your gatewatch bags lmfao
>>524237269It's really not. People online pretend it is, but the fact is that card hoarding, in addition to ruining your reputation because everyone sees you as the towns manchild, isn't profitable. >Spend $1000 on cards >You may get one valuable card worth $700 and a bunch of <$1 >Pay to have it graded >Pay to sell it >Very few actual buyers >PSA is random with grading so $700 card is now $650>After you pay eBay, taxes, and/or vendor fees >$625 >Now to sell off 400 $1 cards for a profit! >After you sell in bulk you get maybe $200 if you're lucky >Spent:$1,000 >Earnings: $825 (if you're lucky) >Profit: -$175 Also that process takes months.
>>524237745The manchild generation completely ruined card games. It's pathetic.
>>524237269Good luck reselling boxes of race-swapped LOTR and ATLA, and fuckin' Spiderman.MTG hit peak ensloppification a while ago; I reckon the market is contracting.

I don't even want to go back to work when my unemployment runs out. Construction is entirely jeets now whereas before it was a cool mix of white people in various stages of life and drug addiction. I wanna puke by lunch time at most sites with the sheer stink of 50 jeets.
>>524237404Today, OP wasn't a faggot.
>>524238074It's a multi-pronged attack, the man children and (((they))) make everything fake and gay so even if I wanted to play magic the gathering with my son when it was 12 or so I couldn't because wotc made it all fake and gay removing cards, making black aragron, furry/trans cards, etc..
>>524237589nah lands is always worth getting
>>524238596Sorcery, Contest Realm anon
>>524238533>Construction is entirely jeets nowNo fucking way jeets do construction
>>524238596The only card game worth playing casually in 2025 is unironically One Piece. The starter decks are optimized as fuck
>>524237742browns in the west do this on a regular, each time you hear them tlaking in their demon tongue instead of the one of the culture/society they are diluting and undermining with their out of place presence. traitors first
>>524238533You whites are objectively the most sniveling spineless cowards in all of human history for tolerating this.
>>524237347It’s in Japanese and holds a lower value in English speaking countries because nobody knows what the fuck the cards say. They are still collectible but only in Japan and among weebs.
>>524237404kek, this 100%
>>524238693Not plumbing/electrical/HVAC or framing obviously, but basically all other subtrades are filled with jeets here now. No people I can communicate with and shoot the shit. Just literal shit stinking fresh off the boat cackling in Punjabi to one another.
>>524237269>>flipping childrens card games is more profitable than working a full time job with less than 10% the effortno, flipping childrens card games is another power law activity like onlyfans and dropshipping where 0.1% of participants make decent money while the other 99.9% end up with nothing (or in the hole). Many such cases.
>>524238533i work in construction and we specifically do not hire jeets. ive never seen jeets on a job site anywhere either. quit lying you faggot.
>>524237745Kind of like the pinewood derby in Boy Scouts. Not to even get into the "Scouts" thing ffs. It used to be you'd build your car the way you thought was cool and your dad helped a little. Now it's just dads or kids that go on youtube to look up the best design and they all build the same gay car
Many of the Pokemon scalpers are brown subhumans.Thank fuck it's gotten slightly better if your kids are into Pokemans.
>>524238044plus youre competing with literally thousands of other people doing exactly the same thing as you, some of them have min maxed it down for decades who not only know how to mail the cheapest way but who also have higher ratings than you thus more buyers, plus you have to deal with scammers saying they didnt get their card or that theyre not near mint even when they are, or they announce a reprint set before you can sell it all crashing your value, plus you have to do all the work of listing and mailing, card games are not a fucking real investment, the thousands of 25 year old loser mexican males doing this shit will lose out the hard way in the end. And the little kids who just want cards also end out losing as well.
>>524238948I'm done with housing I can always make more money and get benefits at any commercial site. And yeah unfortunately at those with large Chinese or Jewish contractors there are large jeet crews hanging sheetrock, sweeping shit up, putting horrendous smelling food in the microwave, conducting conferences and team meetings in the middle of stairwells, pissing in bottles and desecrating porta-potties to where the pumper truck guy leaves after filing a complaint. I do work here brew.
>>524238533you let them build your buildings…….
>>524238691Gothic is the most beautiful set I’ve seen, it’s like what it must have been to see the first magic sets in the 90’s
>>524237269Right but thats supposed to be if you get laid off your job or something. The cards aren't gonna last forever. You dont think I have something like that? But I'm not gonna quit my job to do it. I'm seeing how much I can get away with until they fire me. Like a normal person.
>>524239982>it’s like what it must have been to see the first magic sets in the 90’sI remember playing it in late elementary school. I had a sliver deck I thinkTragic: The Garnering
>>524237269Remember, eBay almost always sides with the buyer in the event you 'didn't receive' your goods.
You're deluding yourself. Giving your boss more money doesn't contribute to society
>>524237269I thought those were boxes of ammunition and was "that's cool" then I looked closer and saw it's fucking magic cards
>>524241086we dont care

Honestly why the hate for jeets? They are the most non-threatening people in the world. Their accent makes them sound like complete idiots so you get to laugh at it and all you need to do is show the least bit of friendliness and they show it right back. So why the hate?
>>524237404That's literally what capitalism is though if you look at history

>>524237646Your IQ is far too low for a discussion like this if you start with a retarded strawman right out the gate.
Respect the grind bruh
>>524248461> What do you think would happen under your retarded libertarian version of capitalism?That’s not a strawman
>>524237269We live in a post-scarcity world. While brainlet retards will throw out retarded jewish terms like capitalism and spew their marxist mantra, this is what it actually looks like to live in a post-scarcity world that hasn't made the switch to UBI.The technology used to make most things is so efficient that we can realistically feed, clothe and house every single person on earth.The people who work are so efficient that it gives more product for a company to even know what to do with. Because of this constant push for efficiency they chip away at the wages of the employees and want them to work for as long as possible while paying them as little as possible.At this point if you are working, you are a sucker and you are destroying your body for nothing, while everyone else lives.The minority of people who work real jobs can't even afford all this trash like card games and funko pops. Everyone else who doesn't work gets this shit. They have such an excess in resources they can trade plastics costing more than what a wagie makes and they can ship them across the world.This is the world we live in. We had to switch to some system of UBI a years ago. Maybe a system where workers are drafted like in the army. You go into the work market and you serve for a few years and then you can retire and enjoy UBI. Something like that. A small team of people with machinery can feed millions of people. A small team of people can build many houses. And all of this shit is so basic that anyone could do it.
Anyway, who pays for nu-MTG with fucking Spiderman?Various ways to play on your PC with all the cards available for free.Then, if you want to play those decks IRL, print them out as proxies either on regular stationery paper and sleeve them above cheapo bulk cards or order them online and get cards with arguably better cardboard quality that official ones.>>524248765>No regulations, pure power to the corporations and their Jew rulers, they wouldn't even need to bother printing monopoly moneyThis is.
>>524248786A human-run UBI system will inevitably shit the bed because of inherent meatbag greed and corruption.Meatbags grow old and expire, and this drives them to hoard resources, and sooner or later the ones in charge of distribution will at the very least begin skimming off the top, and in a centrally planned system, this will be fatal.Only an AI can be trusted with fairly distributing resources, and we're nowhere near proper AI technology.
>>524237404openai and co. are doing the same with stock it is 100% capitalism
>>524249548All systems fail because humans fuck eachother over. We are currently living in a system that is failing because powerful people are exploiting it as much as possible.The goal shouldn't be to achieve some perfect utopia, it's to adapt to what is happening and make changes to improve the situation.UBI wouldn't solve everything but you could get rid of a system where a small minority of people work basically slave labor while everyone else does nothing or goes to adult daycare.A system created by AI would also be exploited. You'd learn what the AI values and you'd minmax what wants to get the most value.The important thing is to change what we have now. We can whine that the new system isn't good enough later.
>>524237269You the nigga that robbed that nerd store earlier in the month? The town name rhymes with Trashheap.
>>524237269>10 year old boxesWorse returns than a treasury bond retard, you're behind inflation and nobody will pay store price for your singles.Yeah "Kikes printing trillions at will and giving it to their friends isnt capitalism dipshit." You literally just described wizards of the coast only they can only print billions because JPM is the real kikes
>>524237269I think total breakdown is the goal. From the ashes will rise an even better invisible system that will control the shit out of your shit. But it won't work. Timmy will grow balls. But really I have no fucking idea. All I know is we are well past clown world at this point.
>>524237269You should see the videos of people cleaning out charity shops before items even hit the shelves. Totally organised, many seedy bed fellows. Garages, houses full, rack after rack, palet after palet of donated stuff sold in gay online shops for silly money. Complete bypass of charity prices and spirit of charity. Haha the very thing aimed at kindness...turned to cold blooded greed.
>>524237745>no one desk builds from imagination or from the random cards they got, its meticulously pieced together from and online min/max deck and purchased singlesRetard. Thats selling point. Picture Chess. If you "brought" your pieces why would you want a Rook when you could buy a Rook who moves in 6 directions. Magic has straight upgrade or best cards, and those hold price over years and through reprintingMTG is played, pokemon is collected; no statement on sports cards
I just bought a One Piece starter deck for $14 to play with my coworkers whereas they spent thousands to build their decks, that's as far as I'd go.
>>524251927And I might add the flippers are the exact kinds of people you'd find trying to sell hifis out the back of unmarked white vans in carparks. Though they present themselves on their videos as reasonable, normal people. No. They're slippery and sly as eels.
That's coming to an end next year. Card production will ramp up and flood their own market. Hope you saved your money.
