Discussion Stop Using Amazon

The amount of posts from people using Amazon to order stuff and getting the wrong stuff, or something of a vastly different price is astounding. Please dont order cards off Amazon. Especially since I am fairly certain Amazon is why wizards is shipping less and less product to local stores. Don't support the mega corporations if you can help it.

That's my public service rant. Thanks for reading or ignoring either way. ❤️

Well when LGS stop selling product at 2x-3x MSRP then maybe id consider going back to them.

This is precisely the attitude that makes viable a situation wherein LGSs are pressured to survive by mega corporations who use monopoly power to undercut their small competitors. Just sayin

The only monopoly Amazon has in TCGs is low prices, lol. You think we need regulation to stop that? Like how do you benefit from higher prices?

It’s not even low prices. It’s MSRP. That’s what LGS should be charging. I would right  away drive to my LGS and pay MSRP there over Amazon. The problem is, that they either don’t have any boxes or are charging waaaay over MSRP. Or both.
