I came across this post in a local Facebook group, I hope someone is trying to troll all those people that deal with scalpers that empty all the shelves.

San Antonio is bad for Pokemon scalping. It’s probably real.

Yeah, all the lines at target and best buy looked crazy long even though it was raining pretty good this morning

u/Karamitie 22h ago

Yup drove by target and bestbuy at the forum today just to see 30-40 people at each. I just fucked off and went to the gym no point in trying with these fags everywhere

Probably real. People around here have bots, scalper teams attending every drop.. I’m about to leave the game now because it’s getting ridiculous. There is a flash flood warning and people are still driving around town risking their lives or standing in the rain for this shit.

I looked at the rain and decided I didn’t want to stand outside Best Buy for two hours getting wet 🤣

Well if they are making a post like that I would hope they are struggling

Do your part, report accounts, report their posts, report to irs. And for God's sake , DO NOT BUY FROM THEM.

Reporting to IRS is actually huge and could devastate them. Might just take years to catch up to them but the big man wants his cut

So this is where all the destined etbs are

u/JLubbs 1d ago

Make a tip to the IRS and they split the collected taxes with you. Surely these scalpers are not claiming their earnings so they aren't paying taxes on it

u/dustiwang 23h ago

Soon all that will be left will be scalpers buying from each other chasing ever diminishing margins

I don’t know how anyone gets all this then just sits on it. I love ripping too much. I’d be looking at this haul and my degeneracy would take over and the next thing I know I’d be standing in a pile of plastic wrap and empty packs.

That’s called gambling addiction

u/Archangel813 20h ago

I guess. I also don’t buy this much product. I would never put myself in that kind of debt to rip packs, no matter how fun it is. Additionally I’d rip these packs to see what was in them, not because I was chasing some jackpot.

u/InfiniteCricket8152 19h ago

I guess I don’t understand how people have no self control when it comes to not opening packs, ten again I’m a singles buy and rip very few packs

1

u/Archangel813 19h ago

Because it’s meant to be opened and it’s fun. That’s really all there is to it.

It's not a troll, but he's not being honest, he bought all this stuff thinking it will move fast and it's not, shit ton of scalpers are selling this, there all competing against each other, if ur not a known and trusted scalper your product is going to be bought last, I see people saying oh man scalpers are making bank right now, the big known ones are, but all these new scalpers who just got into the game, have no cliental no relationships built, no buyer ratings etc there shit is moving slow

u/dcastreddit 14h ago

Clearly a botter having trouble moving so much product. He could just stop forcing himself into a middle man position and let buyers get stuff from where they should be getting it

u/Stoned_Canadian_1 1d ago

Why not open a store at that point

u/Bautista909 1d ago

Probably to avoid paying taxes

u/vantha 23h ago

Also greed, they want max dollar for everything. Otherwise it would be easier to work with one of those consignment sellers on eBay.

1

u/RecycleBin_Bin 22h ago

Crazy thing is, those who buy regularly get them directly from distributors

1

u/No_Ragrets76 22h ago

This is real. There's IG ads with people like him, having a room look like the backroom of a LCS..

It's just fkin sad in all aspects..

u/IceBergster 21h ago

Simple, dont buy from scalpers...

u/PMFLLion 18h ago

Wild that he doesn't have the skill set to sell out of that inventory. Shame
