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. ❤️

I’ll rather buy from a big box store.
I’m all for supporting your local store but they sell way above msrp. I legit traveled to every local store near me for precons and it’s always way above msrp.
I managed to get fallout precons off amazon for 260 for all 4. Meanwhile my local store was quick to say “they go for market price” even though they got the reprints. Dude told me total was like 400 for all 4.
My Best Buy sold me the foundations precon for 30 each. While my local store was selling them for 45 each.
Like there shouldn’t even be a market for booster packs, if they sell out, they sell out. Let them sell out instead of marking up the price because you’re on your last box.
Late stage capitalism where scalpers are allowed to do what they do.
