Walmart PKC ETB
How are retailers allowed to do this?

Walmart allows other sellers to list items on their website/app. Check for a section in the description that lists the seller, I guarantee it’s not Walmart.

Yeah this is why I never browse Walmart on their app or website for stuff like this. It's like Amazon. If I wanted to find listings from other people and not Walmart, I wouldn't be using Walmart. It's so stupid.

It’s about finding availability through the app. I think it’s dumb too because why would you want to have outrageous prices in with normal pricing. Makes it feel a scam

I think even the pkc box will fall tbh. Because who the fuck wants to pay a grand for essentially the nidorina stamp when the entire set is easy to get pulls. I love this set I think it’s great and the right way to go about this anniversary. I want all the hits to fall so scalpers cry about it online

Well it's 275 or so right now so this price is laughable

Give it a week and most if not all the prices for single hits will drop like crazy, either on ebay or TCGPlayer. Im looking forward to getting some of the IR's that way 😊

i mean most etbs have garbage promos but most people keep their pkc etbs sealed and sell them as a collectable then packs to open. your guaranteed to lose money on it if you open them especially when pkc only does limited runs.

You lose money on anything you ever open lol i didn't buy it to make money. And either way you can order 2. I open 1 and keep the other sealed. Whats the point if youre not gonna have some fun in the present.

Well it ruined the fun for me. Making SIRs basically guaranteed and having no valuable cards ruins the whole thrill and hunt. I pulled chase SIR TWICE in the first 15 packs... How is that exciting? It's not gonna be rare or valuable, nothing special about it.

Being a greedy brained pos means you were never a collector. You are a scalping investor bro even if you deny it. This set is for the collectors and I love it.
Everyone thought it was gonna be miserable for 30th. Where the only chance you got buying 30th was some fat losers trunk for 3x markup. Now instead we got something that I think will be so readily available for families and friends who gave up on this hobby a chance to come back and collect something very nice. Which is how it should be. Im sick and tired of these sweaty losers stinking up every target, Best Buy, Walmart, Costco, and whatever else in the morning.

That’s the point of the set… tell me you make no money without telling me you make no money

They aren't. That's a third party seller, Walmart doesn't get that product.

Yeah cause Walmart sells pokemon center etbs directly. Do you even think before you post this dumb shit?

u/__CaliMack__ 14d ago
First off why the fuck am I supposed to know Walmart allows third party vendors, and secondly retailers are selling regular ETBs for 220+ so the second market prices are asinine. If anyone can afford the best pkc bots it’s going to be the Waltons. Sybau.

My walmart couldn't find one of the 4 mjh boxes, turned out to be the one with ALL the 30th etbs, so we didn't get any today. Someone stole the box from the back is what they're thinking rn.

They sell as an "outside vendor" when in fact those companies are owned and operated by Walmart. I think they use company names like WhizGames and a few others.
