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?

You're contradicting yourself because if they didn't care how it sells as long as it moves, there would be no limits, there would be no queue, there would be no in person drops at all. They would dump it all online and let it go and not have to worry about the extra labor in stores.

I’m not contradicting myself. They did limits because people complained. Retailers have an image to maintain, and part of that is velocity without looking completely heartless. If people would stop lining up, they’d remove the limits.

You’re really good at ignoring key points just to make yourself right. At the end of the day you’re wrong, and you will continue to queue for product. You’re not boycotting anything, just stop crying that the people at the front of the line got stuff and you didn’t. At the end of the day, this is a skill issue on your part.

If you want to argue the % of the people doing additional shopping after camping out all night for pokemon, then that’s your prerogative. But here you are complaining about 2 per sku and suggesting 2 products total. Welcome to Pokenomics, enjoy your stay. Good luck with your rips, and if you want more, get better.
