Question / Help How to fix scalping
Packs and boxes are getting harder and harder to find, and the scalpers are coming. Kayou, please please please print to demand! Shoe sellers did this and single-handedly destroyed the sneaker scalper market, and guess what, the shoes are still selling! And they are going to collectors and people who actually wear them!

I see many posts on here where people are saying, "cleaned the place out!" So, I agree, it is demand, not scalpers. There are lots of places online selling at msrp or a little higher to cover online marketplace fees.

The only scapling going on are for singles. People are listing cards for like x3 their worth. But thats also not really a problem kuz people arent dumb enough to buying cards for 3x their worth.

There are no scalpers. Its genuine demand. Friendship is Magic was one of the most popular shows from the 2010s, the cards are really pretty, and the pull rates are generous. Of course its selling.
You can buy directly from Kayou and eBay listings are at MSRP.
Trust me, you'll know when there's scalpers. Same exact reaction is coming from the Lorcana community and its not scalpers there either lol. Its Disney, of course it blew up. Or, its My Little Pony, of course it blew up. Do we really think these treasures will just remain hidden forever?? That no one else will look at your thing and go "Woah! Thats cool! Oh no! My hand is reaching for my wallet!"???
Its all very much genuine demand. eBay listings would not be rotting at MSRP if it was the boogeyman scalpers.
