The scalpers in the picture probably punched a young child just to get their grubby mitts on some cards. This doesn't just happen to TCG products either. Tech parts, and essential items get scalped too and the government does nothing except ban it for concert tickets for some reason.
If governments actually did something about it retards would mindlessly screech about Communism.

>>59663452>survival of the fittestFriendly reminder that Darwinism is incompatible with the Christian faith. "Survival of the fittest" is not exempt from this as it goes against God's word implying that His creation is flawed.And identifying as an "alpha male" is a form of pride while also challenging Jesus Christ when he said that he was the Alpha and Omega.
>>59663462Bodied that freak!
>>59663440Notice how it is always non-whites?>>59663446Make scalping Pokémon cards punishable by death through getting eaten alive by maggots.>>59663452Get a real job useless SAAAAAR. You must contribute to society if you wanna eat.
>>59663440Ok but what'd you actually do to stop it?
>>59663440how come scalpers never dress well?
>>59663468If you buy more than 4 packs of Pokémon cards the clerk is legally required to blast you to ashes with a flamethrower.
>>59663446Because retards don't understand Communism and will call anything they don't like by that name.>>59663452Get a real job. One that actually helps people rather than hurts. I understand it's hard to get one these days. That's why I joined a temp agency until I was able to get a full time job.>>59663460Is this change.org? Doesn't do shit but I'll consider signing it anyway.>>59663467>Notice how it is always non-whites? I've seen more whites doing it. It's also always overweight unemployed losers who claim government benefits because they're retarded.>>59663468>Ok but what'd you actually do to stop it?Resellers require a real license. Large retailers like Target or Walmart would easily get one. Also redefine scalping as 'intentional buy out of a high demand product in order to sell for a ridiculous markup.' Stores would be required by law to enforce limits on high demand products. They'd also check purchase history if applicable and reserve the right to deny service to scalpers.
>>59663474spending money on clothing is inefficient. it's better spent on merchandise to resell
>>59663481>Resellers require a real license. Large retailers like Target or Walmart would easily get one. Also redefine scalpingOk I'd just set a hard cap for the max amount you're allowed to resell for. Like a 10% markup at most. If MSRP is $500 then the max it can be sold for is $550. Most scalpers would actually lose money with a law like this, causing them to give up and actually try to find a job.
>>59663484Explains the scalper I saw at Walmart who was wearing nothing but a pair of swimming trunks and a MAGA hat.
>>59663489>Scalpers are whiteNo, good SAAAAR, you wish they were.
>>59663497How do you know he didn't buy it from a second hand store, or was one of those retards who voted for the guy that hates them?
>>59663446We don't even need governments to do something. TPC themselves could do something about it anytime just by overprinting the cards like Konami does with Yu-Gi-Oh. TPC has obviously chosen scalpers as their target audience for Pokemon cards, so everyone with morals and self-respect should just move on to better things. Simple as.
>>59663481>Because retards don't understand Communism and will call anything they don't like by that name.The Red Scare and its consequences. And it's all by design too. An extent of this would be "protecting children" and "fighting terrorism", which are both tactics of emotional manipulation for people to give up their rights and embrace mass surveillance. See: the PATRIOT act and the push for age verification.Note that I am not defending Communism before some MAGAtard accuses me of being the demon of postmodern Jewish pagan wokeness or some other stupid made up defecated nonsense.
>>59663554We need to bring back shame and bullying.
>>59663468All shrink wrap on sealed boxes are to be opened at the time of purchase if bought at MSRP. Wanted it still sealed? You pay the 100% markup. You can figure out the exact percentage via analytics, that is just a quick thought.
>>59663446If you want a "middle ground" you have to let people be retarded with things that aren't necesary to live like trading cards.tl;dr you're a commie.
>>59663468Completely changing the business model and selling only sets of fixed cards, more like most board games.
>>59663440sucks to be poor. now suffer in silence.
>>59663446You just parroted the millennial meme, except for changing socialism to communism.
>>59663489no shirt, socks, or shoes?
>>59663462Social Darwinism: survival of the most sociopathic. The biggest, strongest and meanest bullies should rule the playground.
>>59663440Pokemon is in it with the scalpingPokemon cannot control distributors and big box retailers who are also scalping products; you literally have scalpers hoarding hundreds if not thousands of product through botsThe only way Pokemon can do is to open more printing facilities and print every single chase card to the ground, even adding tons of so called "god packs" in every piece of TCG merchandiseBut Pokemon won't do both, instead they'll eventually pull a half-assed sports card/MTG split where expensive chase cards are going to be obscenely expensive and rare like specific sports cards while playables will become even cheaper and bundled together so scalpers avoid them naturallyPokemon TCG "fans" also don't defend their hobby, all it takes is for a few true fans to sacrifice a few scalpers and it'll stop overnight
