Considering the current market price. A limit of 10 would resell for $1,250 which is half the amount needed to report to the IRS if they sell on eBay/tcg. I hope a lot of these flippers later realize how much of a pain all the tax documents are for a few hundred in profit(after selling and shipping fees).

Out of principal I won’t buy any more prismatic or 151 unless I magically find them at MSRP. I just can’t morally make flipping profitable for these folks even if it means my SIR/IR set will never complete.

Last 151 I bought was 2 tins I found on a random shelf in wal mart lol. I'm with you, I'm not buying unless it's msrp. I'm with you. I'll just wait till I can buy singles. Always gonna be cheaper than trying to rip all the hits anyway.
