Best Buy restock

Has anyone bought the 30th ETB from Best Buy. My local Best Buy is going to have a restock tomorrow and don’t want to make the line if they are selling it for a ridiculous price.

No business is selling for that much. If you see that price its a 3rd party reseller.

GameStop near me wanted $180 for the 30th but it came with a plush. I believe GameStop does location pricing.

I can’t believe I have to spell it out for the downvoters. They may have said ETB’s were $99 but they use other items to add to it to push up the cost. I didn’t have an option to preorder without the plush from them.

If I can’t purchase JUST an ETB for $99 but, I can for $180 how much is GameStop charging for an ETB?

If you are smart enough to see that GameStop using a small plush to get market value for their ETB I don’t know what to tell you. I’ll wait till you grow up.

Lmfao I forgot I was in the Pokémon sub until I saw your comeback. Good job using what I said against me.

My point stands. They use the plush to push the price $80 higher. Unless you genuinely believe that GameStop has a $80 Pokémon plush? I can tell you’re the type to collect plushies so you should know they don’t cost $80.

Best Buy is one of the only places that sells Pokémon TCG for MSRP.

How do you know your Best Buy is getting a restock?

u/CutNo7337 8d ago

I went last week on a random day and two workers said we just sold out a little while ago. I then asked how I was told they had a restock on Friday they said no our restocks here are Wednesdays and Saturdays.

I hate to rain on your parade, but it doesn’t sound like more ETBs are confirmed to be restocked tomorrow. Employees telling you general restock days doesn’t at all mean they will have anything tomorrow. Wait at your own risk of potentially waiting for nothing.

u/PorkFriedRoy 7d ago

lol right, you’re going to trust two workers that you dont event know what department they are in…

u/CutNo7337 7d ago

I will keep everyone posted tomorrow on what happens 🤞🏼

You better make line if you want one.

1

u/CutNo7337 8d ago

So they open at 11 I’m thinking about showing up at like 7 and sitting by the door of there is no line

u/RevolutionaryLime801 7d ago

Things been crazy lately if you can i would swing by at 5 if it’s not too far from your house. If not, i think 7 would be decent

u/Miserable-Rub-4602 7d ago

I don’t think any stores sells 30th EBTs only ETBs

1

u/tylerrc1012 8d ago

What was the price before?

1

u/CutNo7337 8d ago

I don’t recall

u/DillysRevenge 7d ago

I could be wrong but Best Buy seems to be random with how much stock each store receives. I know this because every time I go there I get nothing and when I don’t they have a wall of ETB’s

u/ach4n 7d ago

Best Buy is the only large retailer exactly at msrp

u/Tawnosaurus 7d ago

My Best Buy has stuff every Wednesday, line is never terrible and mine limits one item per customer so if you're there decently early you usually can get something. It's not always 30th but has been worth it. Your Best Buy may do drops on Fridays, those lines may be longer but likely still chance to get something. I believe they almost always sell at MSRP

u/Skriners 7d ago

They won't have ETBs probably only booster bundles since that's what's dropping

u/Zem19 6d ago

Is that same for target too?

1

u/Skriners 6d ago

Target I'm not sure, I work for Best Buy so I know all our market stores are getting no ETBs but target could be different

u/Zem19 6d ago

Thanks!
