The only way to stop scalpers is to not buy from them, its pretty satisfying to see scalpers whining that they haven´t sold anything at their inflated prices
exactly right...course boneheads will keep buying from them Ebay is raging and while i enjoy Pokerev's videos to a degree, the emotionality is WAY overdone, and the reality most folks and most packs don't pay out in pulls like one would think. Collect and play because you want to and/or the cards look cool not because you hope to make money doing it because these videos are the exception not the rule.
Bro me and my mom found a loophole it was so funny we just went in and grabbed 10 things of Pokémon cards at target and they told us to put 5 back we said it's 5 per person so there's two of so 10 and it worked
As a Costco employee, this upsets me. Had a similar situation when we had the 151 UPCs. No consideration for other's safety whatsoever. Then the staff got abused because there wasn't available stock for everyone 😢
You should be calling security (or police, if there isn't security on site) down when they start harassing the staff (and other shoppers for that matter) and stop caring about safety. Even if someone wasn't planning on going into that mess near the pokemon stuff they could still get caught in the crossfire, this is black friday levels of "injury risk". If police need a reason, say they're Disturbing the Peace and presenting a safety risk.
I work at Sam’s I know what you mean, our store has an absolute no tolerance rule on that type of stuff but I know there’s some that don’t unfortunately
Scalpers are really childish. Imagine if your a kid and you see a bunch of adults figthing over some pokemon cards. They should give the right example.
Agreed. "Investors" that buy up these set boxes, ETBs, booster bundles and just seal them up to sell at a higher price later on are cringe. You greed driven scalpers suck.
Its crazy to see how people are grabbing those mini tin boxes... sure sell them for higher then MSRP... but buy singles from a TCG store would end up being alot more cheaper! 😅
@@justuh5625there's other vids. I went to 7 Costcos to try and grab a few. Every single one, people where bum rushing the store and loaded up their carts, knocking things over. One guy already had 6 cases in his cart by the time I got there. I was only 8 people behind him in line to get in.
I saw the clip on twitter and the funniest part was one of the scalpers giving one of the ones he took to someone who couldn’t get one, like alright ig there’s still a little humanity out there. 😂
Same 8 had to go to all my local dollar generals to look for the $15 151 poster collection and actually found 3 but I haven't seen anything recently sadly...
I just got into collecting pokemon cards since childhood, and its sickening between the rampant scalpers/"investors" and massive 250+ card sets every few months. Cant find anything in stock and cant ever truly "collect em all".
right , i picked up a few boxes and i feel like people will regret sleeping on the paldean fates, bc they where mad/sad they didnt get the 151. i feel like they forget about the bubble mew.
@ definitely a top tier Pokemon card set for scarlet and violet. Almost every pack has a hit (I count a normal shiny Pokemon card a hit) in it, or at least that’s my luck
@@jessicamagri8211 So im making a guess based on intuition of current events, I would say that inflation will keep happening until a few months of 2025 and then things will start decreasing, could be early 2025 but i feel like things will decrease around that point
It sucks because I always miss out on things because scalpers are able to grab them before I can. I appreciate you talking about it and bringing more awareness to it though :)
There's a reason why my local Costcos have all the 151 boxes in a secured room, with a 3 box limit per customer 😅 Luckily my girl & I were able to get some and avoid the chaos.
It is so frustrating dealing with inflated prices like this. I am just trying to finish my 151 collection, but I cannot find the cards, packs or bundles anywhere at all reasonable price!
Same here. And anytime they get stocked at a reasonable price, they sell out in MINUTES. It’s truly insane. My husband and I have pretty much given up on this set because of all the craziness :/
Love 151! I would love to get my hands on one of those. My friend and i Actually recently startet collecting again and TODAY we decided to start a channel:) It would be fantastic to be able to get to open some mini tins on the channel in the near future!
Resellers are strong right now in the Pokemon TCG world. My son just got me back into collecting them and. I love that we have a hobby we can enjoy together!
Was fortunate to grab some when I could. Last time I went was chatting with a kid that wanted to open 151 for the first time… saw a stray box sitting alone. Snatched it and gave it to the kid.. good luck kid you are our future!!
There was some 30 boxes left at my Costco and my buddy was like "You should buy them all!" And I'm like "But we gotta leave some for everyone else." Ended buying half of what they had.
I've collected Pokemon cards for 15 years kept all of mine mint and have a binder full of rares. I did it for the hobby not the money. The reality whether you agree or disagree doesn't matter the hobby has been ruined. Its so sad. Its all about trying to make money and not for the hobby. Sad.
151 is the set that got me back into collecting. I absolutely love this set, it’s so beautiful. I have a Costco in my town but haven’t been able to find these things. That video of the people falling over each other is so sad and embarrassing!
It's crazy how fast scalpers get to these boxes. Even when Costco says they limit them, the scalpers just get back in line with a cart full and slowly checkout with all of them. No consequences either...
I live in Alaska and even here Costco was sold out of them in like a day, I didn’t even get a chance to check and when I called them they said it was gone in minutes and it was getting deleted from their system and no restocks in the future, said screw it and ordered a box off of pokemon tcg for $80
The new Charizard collector box has been upward to $100, Costco has plenty of them for $58 (Saw them yesterday), the aftermarket has been insane, I think if people want to sell maybe buy wholesale and make the most out of the product, rather take product just for a small gain and screw everyone that doesn't have an opportunity to purchase.
The scalping issue is not just in Pokemon but it's nuts that I see it being the most relevant for the Pokemon TCG. I really hope they bring back the purchase limits that were in place in some stores at the peak of the pandemic because this is getting out of control. In the meantime... we need to stop buying from them period so they will realize it's not worth it and are sitting on a worthless "investment"
whats messed up is the employees that openly admitted to me that they hide Pokémon card product from the customers at Dollar General so they can buy it. it's getting ridiculous
This takes all of the love out of the hobby. I really feel for the employees at these places, but I hope these stores start really enforcing strict limits so that regular people can actually find these things. Thank you for making this video and for the giveaway chance!
It's insane looking back at when all these products were at a reasonable retail price, and looking at them now. A price increase of 100% if not more for some products.
As someone who hasn't bought cards since I was a kid and seeing prices for them now, prices are ridiculous. Yeah I probably shouldn't have stopped, but life happens and it seems I have missed out on some really awesome cards that I'll never get to have, let alone afford. Oh well I guess
Found a few of these tins in local shop yesterday, didn't realise it was 151 til I opened so pleasantly surprised and will be popping in later today to grab more if they still there 😅
It'd be great if I could teach my youngest the thrill of the chase and lore of the game and cards value without having to act like it's black Friday everytime there is a restock smh 😅
My 9year old son and I opened a few boxes of that from Costco and didn't get much of anything. The paldean fates ones on the other hand, we had hits in almost every pack including a bubble MEW!
Really sad that pokerev packs were still for sale a few days ago, and just when I was about to save up enough for Christmas, they all got sold. Hoping that he adds more online soon, but I doubt it
I've never had a chance to rip 151, impossible to find anywhere by me. Pokemon is getting nuts again, reminds me of black friday back in the day with the way people are fighting over stuff. Wild times!
The Costco's in my area sold out weeks ago, wish we could have at least one. Like why make them exclusive to a costco which requires a membership to even go inside? Only for scalpers to take everything.
there was a instances in a target parking lot where i live back in 2021 where people were getting into fist fights for these cards dude, early 2020's were wild times
I don’t see why people go crazy like that when it’s not even guaranteed to get anything good. Especially trying to sell for double the price. Still blows my mind.
I'm buying up all the 151 stuff I can find. My 7 yr old nephew just started to get into Pokémon and I'm going to be dropping the 151 stuff on him in a few years when he's a little older.
The only way to stop scalpers is to not buy from them, its pretty satisfying to see scalpers whining that they haven´t sold anything at their inflated prices

they cant even sell the DG 151 poster collection in my area LOL
There is a Costco near me that has good stock on these. I will definitely go there tomorrow
@@sdebach buy some for me plz lmao
Even if people don't buy the boxes, people will buy the loose tins. The scalpers will sell them easy enough.
I'm so sick of scalpers. How have these stores STILL not put purchase limits per person/account. It's such BS!
Because the retailers are getting paid regardless so they don’t care
Agreed
Sams
In germany there are many Shops with a Limit.
Bro me and my mom found a loophole it was so funny we just went in and grabbed 10 things of Pokémon cards at target and they told us to put 5 back we said it's 5 per person so there's two of so 10 and it worked

If they are abusing you guys you have every right to defend yourself

Tell them to p1ss off, nobody has the right to abuse store workers
You definitely should talk to the shop manager about limiting them. It must be hard for you

@Ren3gade They are greedy worms lol
yep. And it sucks for peeps who truly love playing the card game and collecting for joy not selling to make money 😑
Its crazy to see how people are grabbing those mini tin boxes... sure sell them for higher then MSRP... but buy singles from a TCG store would end up being alot more cheaper! 😅
They just need to put purchase limits on these products. This ruins the experience for 99% of people.
Die Schicken ihre Mutter und ihren Vater und ihre Oma und......zum Kaufen 😉
People just need to be quicker
It’s really sad how scalpers buy so much and leave nothing for others, I saw a video of someone who filled their cart entirely of the mini tin boxes
its only this one clip lmaooo
@@justuh5625there's other vids.
I went to 7 Costcos to try and grab a few. Every single one, people where bum rushing the store and loaded up their carts, knocking things over. One guy already had 6 cases in his cart by the time I got there. I was only 8 people behind him in line to get in.
Reminder to let non-official sellers sit on unsold inventory. Only buy at MSRP from official sources.
Yeah, this video was not the biggest help to accomplish that goal...
Not enough supply, sadly
all Costco needs to do is put a 2 per person limit but they are dumb and dont care and will let one dude buy them all.
I saw the clip on twitter and the funniest part was one of the scalpers giving one of the ones he took to someone who couldn’t get one, like alright ig there’s still a little humanity out there. 😂
Yeah gave one away then walked off with 2 trolleys full of them if I remember correctly, oh the humanity 😂

pretty new to collecting but your passion for it and this amazing community has been brilliant and so inviting

This is ridiculous because I am a more recent guy trying to collect these cards and I haven’t been able to get my hands on them.

Pokerev: these scalpers are crazy! Then proceeds to buy from scalpers
Gives me 2020 toilet paper vibes😂
If it’s this bad right now imagine what will happen on Black Friday
I’m horrified for Black Friday… not even pokemon is the issue, I’m wanting a Lenovo leigon go and I know it’s NOT gonna be on the market for long…
Scalpers entering Costco: "Welcome to the Thunderdome".
That intro clip looks like a s end you would see in Christmas movies😂😂❤
Trying to find stuff for my little girls to open getting harder and harder everyday hahahaha 😂 Thanks for the video!
Scalpers die if you quit paying their prices.... But you won't do that, will you? 🙃
That craziness was for real!!!!! We went to several locations and found only a few Paldea left.
Personally, I think the real crime is disrespect to Paldean Fates. I think it's a good set 😆
Agreed, I would like to get those Paladean fates. Bubble mew
right , i picked up a few boxes and i feel like people will regret sleeping on the paldean fates, bc they where mad/sad they didnt get the 151. i feel like they forget about the bubble mew.
Shhh let’s keep paldean fates a secret so we can enjoy it
I love that set. If they have that one at my local Costco, I’m totally getting that too
@ definitely a top tier Pokemon card set for scarlet and violet. Almost every pack has a hit (I count a normal shiny Pokemon card a hit) in it, or at least that’s my luck
I think they’re actually doing a reprint of 151 in mini tin format. Today, I found FULL boxes of individual 151 mini tins at my local Walmart!
its crazy how grown adults fight over this in costco and no one is there to stop it. this honestly might be worse than 2021 if it escalates
Well if inflation gets worse in the future…it’s going to become a complete crap show :/

I was travelling for work when these hit the stores and I missed out. Pretty bummed
brother instead of setting an example you still bought from those scalpers at that price....I thought this was gonna be a different video
I disagree, this video authentically shows you what you get when you buy this from scalpers

lucky. i told and showed hella stores that video if people buying them all up but still no limits and what do yk. resellers took em all
I don’t blame the scalpers I blame the buyers of scalped products. DO NOT BUY THEM at $100!
This.
and yet this opening video exists because of it 🤣
Facts
The end!
You are so talented, don't stop creating videos!
Fun fact: pokerev shares the same height as Kadabra coming in at a whopping 4' 3" . 😂

They where fighting for just a tin😂 btw amazing video🎉
Dude when I went to Costco and an old lady had the whole stock in her cart. She was so aggressive😭
It’s like a pack of lions fighting over a gazelle

Thats crazy😂 There is nothing like that here in Norway. To fight over pokemon products i a bit extremely I would say

Never get deals like this in the first place in the UK 😂
I don’t see why people go crazy like that when it’s not even guaranteed to get anything good. Especially trying to sell for double the price. Still blows my mind.
I'm buying up all the 151 stuff I can find. My 7 yr old nephew just started to get into Pokémon and I'm going to be dropping the 151 stuff on him in a few years when he's a little older.
Definitely wish stores puts purchase limits on these 😢 but thank you giving away one of these sets!
