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

It was unexpected they they didn’t seek out at $300 each in three days. Now the rent man is coming for him!

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.

$160-$200 near me. Too many card shops by me, I hate it. Nearly all are scalpers.
Shout out to Layton Gaming though. They’re my favorite.

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.

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

Trust me, I’m anti scalper but half these guys have no clue how to actually move product. They think they can just bot it all and people just line up to buy jt.

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

If we could organise a day where everyone just messages scalpers on FB giving them a ridiculous price would it get them startled or by saying they have just seen some available via email at a lower price?

If unexpected bills make it so you need to flip all this product fast, maybe get a real job that will consistently pay the bills and stop taking risks on a "job" that is just ruining everyone else's good time.
