After studying how easy it is to set up shill bids on eBay to drive up the price of Pokèmon cards (fun fact that if an auction winner on eBay refuses to pay and the auction gets cancelled eBay still lists the item as sold for that price) I realized the entire American economy is a house of cards.
>>543687995A fool and his money are soon departed, as God intended.
>>543688064Also a lot of the real sales for astronomical numbers are actually money laundering.
>>543687995I wish something this idiotic would make me happy if even for a moment
>>543688114Like 15% of all Americans waited in line for pokemon cards yesterday.
>>543687995that's not true, you need to have a valid credit card set up with auto pay to bid on ebay now. They did this specifically to eliminate non paying bidders
>>543688163They can setup a credit card and still refuse to pay.
>>543688159These people can vote. Just imagine that.
• id Retraction: The shill bidder retracts their inflated bid before the auction ends, leaving a legitimate higher bidder stuck with a maximized price.eBay Community+1• Winning and Ghosting: If the shill accidentally wins the auction because the real buyer stopped bidding, the shill simply never pays.YouTube·The Sports Card Dad+1• Unpaid Cancellation: After 4 days of non-payment, the seller can cancel the transaction due to non-payment, recording an unpaid strike on the dummy account.eBay• Disposable Accounts: Shill accounts are often burner profiles with zero intention of maintaining a good reputation, making platform strikes meaningless.
>>543688190eBay's auto-pay requires you to pre-authorize your payment. winning the auction charges the winner automatically.
>>543688300stop lying you kike.
>>543688607it's the truth. Your information is false/outdated. Bidding on Ebay requires a pre-authorized payment method now.
>>543688159they are doing it here as well. Its all adults.
>>543688722No it doesn’t your fucking liar
Never understood how that card game works, and never gonna bother to learn it.

>>543688159Look at these fucking troglodytes. >>>543687995>Memeflag>muh little kids card gameIsn’t there a board for you stunted poorfag geeks?
>>543688159Do Scalpers even make money off this anymore (considering fees involved, presumably using credit cards to finance all the purchases too)?
>>543687995I genuinely don't understand the appeal of pokemon, I remember being a kid in early 2000, they'd run the anime right before digimon, and I kept thinking how lame it was while waiting for my robogodzilla and angewomon cartoon
>>543687995>>543688159Imagine the smell
Let's rip a pack
>>543687995Who is buying all these Pokemon cards and other collectibles (including Legos) that cost a gorillion dollars? I don’t even think the majority of ppl who collect the cards know how to play the pokemon TCG
>>543687995youtube must have pushed some pokemon card feeds
>>543688300>>543688722Yeah I dont know I’ve not tried to scam the bidding process because I dont scalp, but I assume you could always just cancel the purchase or cancel the credit card through the credit card company. It would take more effort but is still technically doable.
i like pokemon cards and BIG FIRM RIPE MELONS
I didn't wait at all for anything.
>>543688105Correct, and the goyim niggercattle will fall for it every single time.
>>543691590You know, foids have actually a point that men just have to go to war and fight for something.This behaviour is unacceptable for grown men.
>>543688159i literally don’t understand why someone would do this instead of using the internet.
I get that people want to relive their childhoods...but why do people pay money for these new Pokémon cards?
>>543691569Stupid bitch.
>>543691783my brothers 1st gen charizard was stolen at a toys r' us meet up. the only one we ever went to. the security cameras "weren't working"to this day i think an employee stole it. i dont even want to look up the value of it. i remember 'back in the day'â„¢ it was ~100 dollas
>>543689462Doesn't react in the slightest the moment the actual rare gets shown. What a fake ass bitch.
I really don't understand how these cards have become expensive commodities.
All the west has are "financial products"they create nothing of value
>>543692708They're Millenialbux
>>543688064Shalom
>>543689468It's an asset bubble. People are buying them because they think the value will go up. Bubble will pop, someone will be left holding the bag. It's just musical chairs.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z29WpPZMDjk&list
>>543692708But enough about USD.
>>543691590Looks like Dumb & Dumber, Jonah JEW Hill edition.
>>543693100And why should anyone care about that bubble when it's literally tied to the millennial and zoomer generations being alive?
>>543687995Guys I got some first edition Pokémon cards in my basement, I should sell them?
>>543689462I would rip ear pack
>>543691569What are wrong with her fingers, they don't look like human fingers they're all weird looking contorts them into weird shapes doesn't make sense. And then her face that's not a human face that's like some sort of demonic creature that needs to have its head smashed in
>>543693176It's not. People are buying them because they think they can sell them for more in a few years, based on the increasing price. But the increasing price is just more people buying into the craze. It's got nothing to do with nostalgia. Tulips, beanie babies, crypto. Shit isn't new in the slightest.
