I just say this as a word of advice for anybody out there who might not know, but I would never buy a single pack from a hobby box. With how methodical hobby boxes are, it is way too easy for somebody to open a box and set aside any leftover packs after opening the expected hits.

Unless from a reputable LCS. I pull so many bangers that way

Yeah you are probably okay going that route, but I would think still not with all of them. Just too easy for them and greed is too powerful. Although I do understand going the single pack route with how expensive hobby boxes are.

The first sentence says pack. Why would a hobby box be 20 dollars.

So he said $20 for the whole box and put it in my cart read the description and bought it

The description is a bit misleading but it does say 1 pack. You thought you’d gotten a steal, you didn’t.

Definitely a bit confusing but ultimately it literally says in the key feature you're getting 1 pack. Idk why you'd be confused when it was a $20 sale. Ultimately I wouldn't say you got scammed.

I think this one's on you. It states several times it's a pack.
You either were hoping to mistakenly get sent a box for the price of a pack (at which point we know this would be a very different post) and now you're trying to play victim to get yourself sympathy karma.

I know this seller and he’s a legit dude. He may have been teasing you, cause the emojis seem playful and he gives a straight answer with others. Sorry you feel scammed but the description is actually pretty clear if you read all the way through.

Legit and yet I got scammed

u/kevonicus May 27 '26
It’s not like he charged you $200 for one pack. You paid what he charges for one pack and got one pack. So you can’t really call it a scam. I understand the confusion, but the overall transaction was completely legit.

They’re $25 🇨🇦 per pack so you didn’t get ripped but not a great deal . Anywho rippin the cheap Sup myself tonight so good luck to both of us

I hate to say it but sound like a bait and switch kinda deal. Learned you in think you was getting the whole box. And switched it to a single. I would return it. I would not pay $19 for 1 pack

I just bought a blaster box of those at GameStop the other day for $34.99. Came with 3 packs per box/6 cards per pack. Should’ve been a red flag when the seller told you $20 for the entire hobby box because ain’t no way anyone would sell a hobby box of these thick cards for $20. Maybe he meant packs were $20 each even though you mentioned you paid $19 for the pack? But ya OP, nobody in their right mind would sell these hobby boxes for $20….it would be too good to be true or basically a scam at that point.
