@TheIanCarpenter Nothing is in production
Retailers can't just buy more
You think distro just sends us destined rivals boxes? If they happen to "find" some you think they charge us MSRP?
(They charge almost market)

As a reminder I will buy your SIRS for MSRP

[Cake @CakeFTHomies]

@Yo_its_Mattox @CardGameNomad What do you mean?
They clearly are meeting the demand of the local community. People want to spend the money. Let them

[Cake @CakeFTHomies]

@Xhr0l @FB_WSB You are spending 30k to spend 200k more

[Cake @CakeFTHomies]

@Bleepbloop758 @Poke_Holics_ @SakurasCardShop @misanthropyplan There is a necessity

If I want to keep my store open I have to keep buying on the open market

We can't just call up john Pokemon for more boxes. We have to re buy are higher amounts. I am not going to sell a box and turn around and rebuy it from the same guy for more.

[Cake @CakeFTHomies]

@hodlfox @SakurasCardShop In general how do you know

If I got a box for $105 from distro
But I bought a box from a customer for $185
How do we know which one is which? I'm not going to sell a box I bought at $185 for $160

[Cake @CakeFTHomies]

@hodlfox @SakurasCardShop How do you know it came from distro at a discounted rate. After the first wave they charge near market.

[Cake @CakeFTHomies]

@Catscollecttcg A few things you need to be aware of:

1) The retail space is so small compared to the rest. If you are even remotely successful you will lose business on how cramped it is
2) you would need at least 100k to get inventory worthy of that much storage

@haydenhouser @factpostnews They're children books you fucking twat

[Cake @CakeFTHomies]

This is just so funny because it's just these guys posting up fake sales to each other and claiming their site has more volume.

[Parker @parkerstevenson]

eBay paid $300 million for TCGplayer and it only took 4 engineers a few months to do more volume on the hottest Pokémon products 😭😭

@gravis821 @GildedGroyper @Coinvo They have a right to *peacefully* exist

We all know they won't do anything peacefully

@Asmongold @UbermenschMind If you have to say "this isn't me being gay" that means you are saying some gay shit
No hate for saying gaying shit but at least own it

[Cake @CakeFTHomies]

@G_Benefiel @MattMorseTV They should pick themselves up by their bootstraps and get a fucking job.
All boomers are just lazy and don't want to work

[Cake @CakeFTHomies]

@PokeTeeJay The thrill of opening packs is minimized by being around it all day.
What I personally enjoy:

Making market predictions

Holding on to something that you think is underappreciated

Bringing out "old" products that are now rare

Enjoying the great art we get to see everyday

[Cake @CakeFTHomies]

@KatieMiller @TheDemocrats Unbelievable!
I need to share my disapproval!
What's her @ 👀

[Cake @CakeFTHomies]

@SlabDaBase @Arkonvale @spenny1412 @RandyTreibel I'm proud of you

[Cake @CakeFTHomies]

@Arkonvale @spenny1412 @RandyTreibel @SlabDaBase Clearly you have never been on the other side of it

After the 10th neckbeard trying to haggle you down you just start saying no

[Cake @CakeFTHomies]

@spenny1412 @RandyTreibel @SlabDaBase Unless something is actually mispriced you should respect the price.

The only thing there is wiggle is no liquidity items without a true baseline

[Cake @CakeFTHomies]

@RandyTreibel @SlabDaBase Old heads who would rather do anything other than run a successful business.
I will focus on making my shop better rather than pandering to the worst common denominators.

[Cake @CakeFTHomies]

@spenny1412 @RandyTreibel @SlabDaBase In a normal market 10% can be the difference between them being in business or not.

[Cake @CakeFTHomies]

@tmtfc206 @RandyTreibel @SlabDaBase Idk where this idea that customers are hard to obtain in this market.
I can just sell it online and save the infinite labor
Not sure why people think bartering is acceptable behavior.
