Does anyone else feel a bout of rage when they see those TikTok videos of the resellers tearing Target apart for the Pokémon merch? It's ridiculous. The only people worse than these resellers are the people who encourage them by purchasing those crazy markup prices. If people stopped paying insane prices for these scalped goods, then resellers would die out. Plus, if we all wait a while, these people will panic and start bringing the prices back down. Let them lose money!

What's crazy to me is that there is Pokemon merch EVERYWHERE! Why was this batch at Target so special?

I dont work at Target. I do work at a place that sells these tho.
We have grown men (always a man) come in the day of/after our truck and ask about the cards. One guy bought half a basket full of them. Not kidding.
I dont rage but that is complete bull shit.
Kids still try to find these-for fun. People like this clown are the reason kids stopped buying baseball cards.
PEOPLE LIKE THIS SUCK THE JOY OUT OF EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE.
Enjoy your little $$. Ya twat.

Listen, if you would mentally manure and GROW UP you wouldn’t have anything to worry about, because you’re getting bent out of shape for a kids card game.

Most of the Target stores in our area have dedicated lines for the resellers to line up in and they have purchase limits as well. This way the stores don’t get chaotic and trashed.

There’s nothing you can do. They’re scalping hobbies and turning everything you love into a quick way they can get rich.

Give bigger discounts for pre orders

When I was a device driver developer with 2 years relevant experience I had got calls from Nvidia and Qualcomm. Unfortunately I wasn't able to crack the interviews back then.

Is it a good idea to rebrand myself as a device driver developer so that I can get calls again?
