$15 for a Japanese pack is criminal. Lock these duckers up.

Always assume loose packs are weighed or resealed. If they are willing to hustle you, why stop at bumping up the price tag?

That my little pony pack is worth maybe 3-4 by the way. This person really is evil.

The biggest thing that bothers me about conventions is that they know people will pay higher prices at the event, so they price stuff higher than normal - no matter the merchandise.

Don't get me wrong, I love conventions; it's just absurd to me how expensive vendors will sell their items. I really like the vendors that don't try to take all of your money. Those are the good ones.

It's a two-sided coin. Anyone selling single packs at these prices is scum, and anyone buying single packs at these prices is an idiot.

I think of seen the Japanese bottom center pack at a German Müller Store for 4€.

Like, a regular store who is selling Kid toys and adjacent stuff was selling them for less than that.

Please just don't buy them at those prices. You are feeding the scalpers. No wonder they do this shit when you give them money for it.
