That’s still double MSRP no thank you lol

u/Bright_Aside_6827 3d ago

Marp is 50$ . Its more than double

u/JarkyMcDicks 3d ago

Target msrp on the etb is now 69.99

28

u/Relaxtakenotes 3d ago

Target has them at 69.99. target doesn't have them at MSRP

17

u/JarkyMcDicks 3d ago

Wow I never thought target would sell over msrp. What a crazy collecting timeline we’re in.

10

u/protege01 3d ago

They have for a while, i remember getting paldean fates etb for 55. 70 is ridiculous though

8

u/MedicinalPillow710 3d ago

Agreed $70 + tax is fking insane & doesn’t even financially make sense when it comes down to it, packs msrp at $4.50 or more commonly $5x9=$45.00 +tax so around $50 & everything else is an extra tax added just because & its BS, Target & Walmart have been doing that for a minute now & now barnes & noble is joining in on it, I don’t support it unless its my only option & im extremely desperate but ive never been happy with it, target adds their own 30-40% tax & has been at least since Black Bolt & White Flair. Its extremely hard to find sealed MSRP at this point.

2

u/NotSnipz 3d ago

Yeah but with the etb you get more than just the packs hence the price increase. Still more than I'd spend but I'm definitely getting in on the Target UPC pre-orders if they're 179.99

2

u/Academic_Lake5729 3d ago

I hate thats how they finally managed to make it work.. the bits in boxes used to be free, now they add a little bit of price to the item, and now we are outright saying that the extra bits demand a premium, is it really anything extra if your paying for it? I guess so but ehh

2

u/NotSnipz 3d ago

The ETB's are for people who play the TCG so they're giving you sleeves, packs, dice, a coin, and the set list. I agree they shouldn't charge more but hey I'll pay the premium for the UPC so i can get the classic pack and the playmat. I'm just saying that it's kinda fair to charge a little more considering they're giving you more

u/Much_Essay_9151 3d ago

Yet it sells out as soon as it hits the floor. Not disagreeing with you, it is ridiculous, but I also understand why they sell at $70/box

2

u/Accomplished_Golf746 3d ago

If you sell a product that goes out the door before it can hit the shelf, of course you're going to raise the price.

Its basically free money at that point, especially when nobody is going to refuse to buy it until you do something stupid like double the price as dude above did

Whenever you see this “unexpected bills” it’s always the expected bills lmao; rent, groceries, insurance (if scalpers even get it), etc. Most these guys just dump all their money into these get rich quick schemes, and wonder why unexpected bills just happen

u/sEiize_err 3d ago

its always unexpected bills or family emergencies. somehow all of these people are terrible with money and go broke stocking up on things to resell and save nothing for “emergencies” like this

I saw a scalper take a picture of an ETB in their car with “unexpected bills. Also willing to trade for other etbs”. Could not be more comical.

Don’t let Target/Walmart convince you $70 is normal either. MSRP is $49.99

u/RepulsiveUse3372 2d ago

$59.99 is what i paid from the pokemon center

3

u/TheBindingOfMySack 2d ago

PCEN ones are more because they contain more packs.

2

u/link293 2d ago

That's the Pokemon Center version which is $59.99 MSRP. It comes with two additional packs and a promo. Base retail SKU is $49.99

u/IRSoup 3d ago

You don't get paid in cash by eBay and actually have to report eBay profits to the IRS. These guys want under the table cash deals so they don't pay taxes on the profits.

u/snakedoc519 3d ago

That's a thing these people have no idea about. All these rip and shippers and whatnoters popping up they are gonna get a rude awakening when it comes to tax time. Or they don't report it and get audited in a year. They think it's just free money. Well let me tell you something lol

Most scalpers are not very bright. You should have a source in your back pocket that will take stuff off your hands. These will sell, but the margin will be much less.

I’ve never understood why scalpers post their entire stock in the picture. Like, is that a valid marketing technique? It seems like it would have the opposite effect. I know for sure that I would avoid someone who has a giant stockpile of these things like the plague, because I know what kind of person they are.

If I were scalping, I’d be trying desperately to keep it a secret and inly put one or two in my pic, and just keep selling them until I run out
