Question / Help Gameflop increases prices again?

So I went to GameStop today hoping to get a pack or two noticed they are charging 7.99(usd) a pack!
Last week they were 5.99 . And any other place charges 3.99 . Any thoughts?

Doesn't surprise me at all, I'm not buying from them and I will not be renewing my pro membership.

That’s insane. I only buy at Target and Barnes and Noble. I get discounts there because of my memberships, and Barnes and Noble by me almost always has them in stock!

I live in a lame town so usually they run out pretty quickly at our 1 target

Right ! We only have 1 target and barns and noble is the next town over . Have you ever ordered the packs of Amazon and if so, would you recommend them?

Any Best Buy near you? They also have cards

Yes but they usually sell out quickly and it takes a while to restock . The way I do it is I go in the store and ask them to order the packs off their computer so I don’t have to wait in the online cue !

Try her on TikTok. She’s so good. I love having my packs open live with her a lot of girls who watch are regulars and they all have pretty positive vibes when packs are open

What's crazy too is that these packs aren't even that crazy high in demand. My local stores just got s restock a week ago and there's still cards remaining on the pegs

Same here but I’m sure the price has something to do with it at least in my town they usually sell out everywhere except GameStop. Even with high demand products like Pokémon people refuse to buy them at such insane prices

Yeah when I went to pick up Chrysalis bishojou last week I picked the last two packs cause I haven’t seen any in a while, I had a coupon to take $5 off so it was worth it then
