>be me>naive, not too interested in Pokemon since around 2014>list on eBay a couple of empty Pokemon booster packs that I've had stashed for 20 years>doesn't even take 3 hours to get messaged by a scammer>block and forget them>the next day get two more people messaging me>both have similar feedback as Scammer #1, saying they either scam sellers to get packs free, reseal opened packs to scam buyers, or bothI removed all the listings and guess I'll keep them for now. I could sell locally, but I don't want them to be used to scam someone who might pay a lot for an Ex Deoxys pack they think could have something good inside. I hope future kids see the drama and greed that pervades this hobby and move on to something else, and Pokemon card collecting dies as a hobby to anyone under 40.
>>11847067There's a ton of videos on Youtube showing how much Pokemon scalpers are absolute scum. Just be grateful that they don't know where you live or you'd find your home broken into.
>>11847067what are you even talking about? Why do you care if something you sell gets used in a scam later? Just sell your stuff and move on, you can't even rip eBay selllers off anymore
>>11847178Did you miss this part?>both have similar feedback as Scammer #1, saying they either scam sellers to get packs freeThey were going to falsely claim to eBay that the packs OP sold them were fake, or resealed, or whatever so they could do a charge back. Scammers don't only try to scam the people they sell to. They scam everything they can.
>>11847210I caught that, did you miss where I said you can't even do that anymore? eBay just pays out both parties nowadays
>>11847178>t. scumbag scammer
>>11847067Sell them in a fb group
there are literal channels on youtube that make bank just by constantly posting compilations of pokemon card "collectors" being extremely cringe. It would be hard to find any kind of group that has the same combination of scumbag/subhuman mix that these guys have.
>>11847812t. guy with thousands of ebay sales completed, I just know how things actually work you sperg
>>11847067I am so happy I never got into Pokemon cards, I can't imagine how stressful it is to collect them now.
>>11850967same, I just have my old shit from when I was 12 and that's it.Actually why is this thread even on /toy/, this should be on /vp/op biggest fag that ever fagged
>>11848946The worst thing is no matter how remote or rural an area is, no matter what, you'll have at least 1 guy thats an absolute scum of the earth tier guy trying to scalp anything and everything.>watch em do it with funkos for a while>funkos solution is to send an entire case everytime 2 funkos sale>scalpers cant compete as stores receive tidal waves of funkos>similar is now happening with needoh toysOnly reason they can get away with it with cards and hotwheels for instance is because of the 1x or less restocks per week.Pair that with rip and shippers and youtubers needing an obscene amount of packs of cards to open everytime they're online and dipshits with poor impulse control and more money than sense and it gives them a market to sale at almost any price.Fakes is ultimately what's going to crash the market
>>11851369in those remote spots you'll have 300 guys that think "no one around here knows about this shit, I can corner the market!" and then they all fuck each other
