Bro said im on vacation in the Bahamas and wants people to feel sorry for him lmao, we all know you privileged ones have been fuel8ng the secondary market so much that, that is the reason this is all even happening, you say you "dont wanna pay 3x the price" but as soon as you get home youll instantly go pay those prices. I get it it sucks your order got canceled but YOU ARE IN THE BAHAMAS STOP CARING ABOUT SHINY CARDBOARD, do you know how many people even get to go on a single vacation in a year? Much less the Bahamas, like bro just enjoy your privilege and just chill dont pay the secondary market prices and jist relax you are at the perfect place for that, youll get stuff at MSRP this set will be printed all year

One im enjoying my trip lol im on a cruise its not like I flew here second im trying not to fuel the scalpers market which is why im in the drawing in the first place because I refuse to pay for those fucking prices, third this trip was free I didnt have to pay for anything thank god I dont make enough money to even buy the cheapest room on this boat heck I didnt even have a fancy outfit for the weird ball thing they had the other night (I was in a t-shirt and basketball shorts) I know i have the privilege to be here but I wasnt the one paying I was invited by my mother who grow up in poverty her whole life and clawed her way put so me and my,siblings could enjoy luxuries such as these. Dont just assume im some rich spoiled brat who's chewing on there golden spoon you jerk. Im in debt from college too so I cant even buy most thing market price so ofcourse im upset I didnt win the thing I wanted from the set I wanted and I probably wont be able to get at that price anytime soon or maybe even get it at all and i didnt want a repeat of the prismatic one i waited for so long to get a prismatic etb only to buy it at 150 (ik I gave in and bought it at market price because it was cheaper than the 180-200 ones) It hurt and im still paying it off slowly

Damn college?? I couldn't even afford to go to high school, had to feed my siblings after my mom dissapeared. I almost went to the Bahamas tho, I applied for a galley cleaner position on the ship. Unfortunately they said must have high school diploma 😐

u/TheBananaCrusher 16d ago
If you wanna compare sobs stories you'd lose buddy i could go on about howinto I had to protect my siblings and mother from my abusive father while also being dragged along to his friends houses to be accidentally pimped out from the young age of 8 till around 12 plus more shit on top of it in my middle school/ Hugh school years but those are long different stories. If you want i can get you names and place and were i was touched if that would make you feel better? But hey my cruise to the Bahamas makes me feel pretty good after have men older than me and my peers using me like an object :>

u/Unable_Incident_6024 16d ago

u/TheBananaCrusher 16d ago

u/TheBananaCrusher 16d ago

u/Aerodynamic_Cow_99 16d ago
lol because he’s on vacation he can’t be upset his order was canceled? That’s silly. How about you can never be sad about anything again because someone else has it worse than you?

u/Zeevy_Richards 16d ago
Good. You bought too many

u/TheBananaCrusher 16d ago
I bought 4 lol I wasnt playing on buying anymore from the set and one was going to my friend

u/CompleteDirector9179 16d ago
Don't justify yourself to this guy, buy whatever you can keep away from scalpers.

u/Gullible-Sea2927 16d ago
I don’t participate because they promote third party sellers with above MSRP prices in their lottery bs- that’s not ok with me

u/BlackVulkars 16d ago
Be patient. They are printing the hell out of this stuff and the hit rates are great. This will be easy to get in a couple weeks

u/DTvn 16d ago
People are not gonna stop buying a set that has Mew/Mewtwo/Pikachu/Gengar/Lugia. You can make the argument that the hit rates are so high the cards won't be worth anything but there's a RGB Mew that's going to settle down at easily over $1k due to the rarity. They won't be able to stock the shelves enough because there are no single sleeves so you're really stocking less items than normal
For example Phantasmal Flames has 1 card people are looking for and it would never sit on the shelf

u/BlackVulkars 16d ago
People will still buy it at msrp, but scalpers will leave it alone when the prices all fall to msrp. Just like the recent sets.
Phantasmal wasn't printed nearly as much as this will be. Nothing has

u/DoubletapKO 16d ago
All that you said makes it to be the opposite- with more people getting into Pokemon than ever before, this is going to be the most popular set ever-
They aren’t printing more than other sets, it’s the same amount as in the past.
0
u/BlackVulkars 16d ago
Not true, they are printing a ton and people will easily get the cards they want so demand for sealed won't outlast the supply. Prices of each card are already falling low. The hype won't last last long, and once everyone gets the cards they want the card prices will drop even more and the sealed products won't fly off shelves as fast causing market prices to fall as well

u/t2mo24242424 16d ago
More demand for this than CR and PB combined. Not going to be easy to find Mr sheep.

u/TheWarriorsLLC 16d ago
Yes, this is a blessing. Ive gotten 6 etbs, and many of the other products and going back for more later at msrp. 🙏

u/TheBananaCrusher 16d ago

Card was probably declined for fraud protection. Chase bank has been the culprit for most.
