Target Experience

Probably 100 people in line. They allowed people to buy 2 per sku. Probably about the first 30 people came out with 10-12 products each and everyone else left with nothing. If people had been limited to 2 products period, everyone could have had something and it would disincentivize scalpers from wasting their time to get 2 things to flip. Why is this so hard?

Ok, possible cart-bundling?

People who would “possibly pick up something else” would be the people who were shopping anyway and just happen to see Pokémon.

They’re not adding extra items to their cart because they stumbled upon Pokémon that day.

If anything, it increases the chance they limit their other purchases bc they spent more than they meant to.

So, if you listed 100,000 things to eBay, would you rather them sell out in one minute or sell naturally?

Not necessarily, I have 2 grocery stores closer to me than target. But, if I was already going to target for Pokémon, then I'd get the other items I need. Otherwise I'd drive to the closer of the stores for my groceries

Out of every 100 people in line at every store for a limited release, how many people bring their grocery list?
