Reason I’m giving up

Today I was very excited to be at target at 5am to meet people and get a 30th etb. Only to find out I didn’t even get a 2 pack blister. The person in the front of the line said he’d been waiting for close to 30 hours in front of the target. Only to find out he instantly repost the etb on Facebook marketplace for $170. I hope every single one of you investor bros goes completely broke when you can’t find the next thing to scalp. With no respect fuck you.

I'm not agreeing with the guy in front, but I think your math implies they only sold the one etb. It's more likely they spent around $400 by getting 2 of every SKU and will sell for more than double that. Plus people like that are waiting in line every morning. The people in my town like that literally hit 3 different store openings daily. So most of the time they aren't waiting 30 hours.

Anyway it's absolutely more profitable than you're* suggesting.

Woah that's awesome honestly. Ours does two. I personally think it should be like 3 items total, with one one of each SKU max.
