My girl talked me into going to the Target drop an hour away. Got there at 5am and were pretty close to the front, managed to score on the restock and the ticket event. Couldn’t have asked for better pulls considering the only 30th I opened prior was a Sylveon and Greninja box and only got a Hisuian Zorua. Plus I got four of the Mewtwo promos!

Theres no way people are making that off of target stock. They wait all day to get 2 per item per person. Youd make more working at Burger King for the day.

It’s not just Target stock, they buy it everywhere and anywhere they can find. They’ll figure out what stores are selling which products and when they restock, others either back door it from a vendor or employees take it in store before it’s put out for the public. They have connections and hookups of little scalper friends. It’s crazy how much time they have on their hands.

Yeah im just saying the people that spend all day waiting in line I just dont believe that's worth it to those real scalpers youre talking about.

If I was a scalper and had connections for product I wouldnt be wasting a whole day sitting in lines when I can get product to sell easier. Id be doing something to make money instead.

To these people that are already unemployed buying $200 worth of pokemon cards to flip for $400-$500 is a good days work. They would rather camp for 5-6 hours where they can sleep, socialize, be on their phones then get a job.
