- Scalpers are an absolute plague on the planet, and their participation in TCGs have absolutely made the hobby worse. It's time to rip into these people.

Scalpers ruin EVERYTHING. Card games, gaming, miniatures, books, etc. Where there's a product on high demand, they'll make sure we have to lay higher for it.
Scalpers are why there are no cheap hobbies any more. Card games, comics, collectibles, lego, and other fun little stuff that was meant to be affordable for people to enjoy is being hoarded thus eliminating the fan base that these things are meant for.
walking. No wait the might scalp the shoes lol
These hobbies being taken more seriously is both a good and bad thing, because it means more people get into them, but some of those people are awful
I loved paying quadruple price to go to concerts growing up. Now I get to enjoy paying quadruple price for EVERYTHING
YIPPEE
Part of the problem is that people are paying the prices the scalpers are asking. If people would stop paying scalpers they would go away.
@@sorcererscircle535 Sneakerhead. There is even a term for these people.
I'm sad Lorcana isn't sold in my country... But I got into FaB this year and it's now my favorite tcg. This video was great!
Same here, great game
Love me some FaB
Thank you, and super glad you've gotten into FaB! Game is amazing
Finally someone says it without tip toeing around the bastards that do this, thank you and now I’m subscribed
Glad to have you 💪
I would have bought a PS5 3 years ago, but no, scalpers!
“God damn the scalper man.”
Totally agree with you on the "fuck scalpers" front, but god damn did Ravensburger shit the bed on this one. They knew 6 months before the game even released that they were up to 80% short on distributors' demand for the product, yet they waited until release to order a new print run (a print run competing for space with their first expansion, no less). They make ZERO dollars on the absurd markups on the secondary market, and hell, even the LGSs in my area were selling boxes at $300. This level of buffoonery by Ravensburger shouldn't go without at least as much mockery, and someone deserves to be canned over this. They left millions on the table, and who knows how many customers they may have lost already due to scarcity of product?
But yes, even still, fuck scalpers.
Oh yeah, Ravensburger dropped the ball for sure, but I like to keep my videos focused on the main topic
Scalpers suck. Human scum. But like I’ve always said,if you buy from scalpers you’re literally half the problem. The video fails to mention “lack of self control”. I waited a year to get into the Digimon tcg becasue of low stock,and scalpers. Wasn’t gonna pay $90 for a starter deck. I’ll wait for lorcana to be just as available as Digimon. And if it never is,and scalpers kill the game,then so be it. Ravensburger can just over stock the shelves into oblivion and begin to fix the problem,but they’re not,and probably won’t. If every can get it,prices will drop,and scalpers will stop.
And accurate
If scalpers had class they would only charge extra for "early access" that they got for being a card shop like DM Armada did with Lorcana.
So, it's because of these people that I can't buy yugioh products at Walmart anymore.
Probably, yeah
@@Sloopdoop Idk why I'm complaining, I'm working on learning f&b anyway.
@@seanfowler3966 heck yeah! I did a video comparing YGO to FaB. I think FaB fits YGO players well
@@SloopdoopI just hope it doesn't get power crept like ygo has.
@Snarkcom Hey, I am no thief.
you said it was going to be brutal, you did not disappoint
I came for blood
@@Sloopdoopyou came for flesh and blood 🩸
In 2020, a group of absolute legends formed Collectors Helping Collectors to combat action figure scalping. CHC is an awesome community that would be a great addition to the TCG hobby.
As a person who just hates scalpers and hopes they all gain a never-ending case of *poopypants*, I applaud you! You earned my Sub ;)
it took me around 5 minutes why you're wearing another color frog hat..... god I feel dumb
There's a spot where I cut the green screen effect, then put it back on, and you can see the colour of the yellow hat change lol
Welcome back!
The quality is just unbelievable
Why not bring the podcast to the main channel?
I keep the podcast on another channel because this shorter, well-edited content doesn't mix well with the longer, unedited conversations. I think it would just end up hurting the channel because it would split my audience to some degree
"shut up nerd" - kino response
“Soyboy Supreme” yep username checked out.
I felt it was fitting, since I didn't want to share the person's actual full name lol
I feel attacked! As someone who wears sweatpants, and is incapable of pleasing a women I don’t like you lumping me in with scalpers!
I am so sorry
OP tcg jp got scalped so bad rn Im thinking to get in the game it’s kinda discouraging if I need to deal with this again and again 😢
Just don’t sell the cards after buying them out, then it’s an investment 😎
I wouldn't call the Van Gogh Pikachu promo a low-supply item. I'm pretty sure Nintendo has pallets of the card hidden in an unknown warehouse. They're just waiting for the right time to open the floodgate. Those scalpers are destined to get burned.
God I hope they release a ton of them, although most of these people probably sold by now
I heard rhat some of these people work at distribution hubs for the box stores and set aside a lot of the product before it even hits the store. Someone local said his brother was doing that with One Piece.
Businesses need to understand scalping behaviour while good for their short term sales figure.. but it will deter any future long term fans from buying in into the card collection game. Eventually the product does not get to their intended customers, the fans.
Also, Lorcana is not made by Disney. It's not their IP. It's just another trap card game painted as "safe investment"
Nice to see you again Sloopy. Stupid algorithm hid your channel!! I had to go looking for your video!
To be fair I don't upload very often anymore lol. But I think the videos are way better for it
It's even sadder when the LGS is scalping lorcana.
I'm on the fence with how I feel about it. On one hand it's shitty, but at the same time, they don't make much money and I can't exactly blame stores for wanting in on the hype when a lot of the people buying the product don't actually want it anyways
At least Lorcana is easy to find now, but it’s still almost impossible to get One Piece at MSRP.
Gosh your videos are just getting better. Very entertaining 👌
Thank you very much!
I like target's solution of limit buying 1 to 2 products. The other problem is the limited number or time idea. I get that the first run of lorcana was small since the company had no idea how big it would get. Hopefully by set 5 or 6 it will be solved but for now im just gonna play online.
Multiple people would still buy it all
Theres even public discord servers than capitalize on scalping
About everything, where to hit, what to look out etc etc
Limiting it only makes it a bit harder
Scalpers (especially on Ebay) are absolutely ruining everything. Remember those 12 foot tall skeletons from Home depot ? Yeah, well Scalpers bought stores out of them and are now selling them in Individual PIECES for 30-200 dollars per piece !!!
I hold a special hatred in my heart for scalpers. Warhammer books, One Piece card game, hell even toilet paper there is no limit to their degeneracy.
Fluke and Box, the biggest scalper on the fab community.
I'm not gonna blame just the people for this, the fact the event even allowed people to buy multiple copies of this is part of the problem
Mr Ribbits is my spirit animal! well fucking said
The Pikachu Felt Hat issue wasn't on the side of scalpers, it was The Pokemon Center's fault. Initially there was a buy limit but they decided not to have one on the full release of the merch.
Despite this blunder, TPC did not even notify people that they could buy Van Gogh merch during either time, and the 30 dollar value trading card promotion stayed up for almost 40 minutes. It's unfortunate for people at work or in class but there was no way those cards would stay up any longer.
Also Metazoo was the biggest scalp of any in percentage. Just with the difference that it somehow was appreciated by the company that some peops hord hundreds if even thounsands of boxes. Ive seen pictures.. its sick.
Couldve been fun besides making some profits here and there. But naah, lets do nfts for the scalpers instead.
MetaPoo*
@@Sloopdoop naah, its not that simple, really. 😅
Want that to be healing. It really couldve been fun.
Or was that a gen$jutsu?
And now they're bound to be worth nothing, now that the company closed down.
Pokemon 151 booster bundles are sold out nationally in Australia but they are flooded on Facebook marketplace. I hope they overprint 151.
i tried to get into one piece TCG... spent like $300 but i had to give up... I cant justify it.
Man, when you're right, you're right. Great video!
Hell yeah shots fired. Love it.
I wanted to get into Lorcana cause I love Disney ever since I played Kingdom Hearts. Even got it tattooed. But then scalpers... Needles to say I wasn't able to get a single starter deck and am not going to until probably set 3 or 4 when hype goes down and supply meets demand
Great work man! ❤
Thank you very much!
A lot of people in my area actually ADMIRE scalpers because they want to be like them eventually...
this is amazing!! Yes!
This is how I feel about the One Piece TCG, I love one piece and I just want to play the game but there's way too little product and people just end up buying up the products to hold onto so they can make profits down the line. It was so hard to get the first Booster box of One Piece, that I gave up on playing it and only got into playing it recently now that they've reprinted some of the cards I need to play the deck I wanna play.
Exactly
Funny how the major influencers involved also have a financial interest at play. 😂
Yeah but a lot of video games coppers are probably going to be discouraged from doing that in the future. They didn't exactly make a profit with the PS5 in Xbox. In fact they were crying about it and playing victim well their tears in my enjoyment.
I am so glad that my hobby hasn't been hit as hard by scalpers. Japanese translated novels still are pretty niche and I appreciate some companies like Dark Horse re-releasing their popular novels as big omnibus books.
Scalpers are the worst. They're one of the many reasons why the one piece card game can't be found in most stores. That and bandai not printing enough.
Your Garry V impression was hilarious 🤣
This is a great video
Loved the magnifying glass. hahahahahah
I spent 10 minutes finding a good credit card to photoshop "Mommy's Card" onto for that same anatomy picture
you can't even see it because it's too small lmao
man i hope all tcg producers do limit to (max copies of a card) number of products to a person
Just steal from scalpers at this point, or just not buy from them and watch them lose money.
I can't love this video enough. Scalpers are essentially punks that can't actually provide value in the market place so they have to hunt for toys like little kids to make a few dollars. Real men have jobs or own a business and make real money. Completely agree they should be mocked.
Anyone who invests or makes a business around TCGs made their money elsewhere. It's also hilarious how scalpers call what they do a business or hustle, since if it was, they'd get their product through distribution - not Walmart.
In One Piece Card Game is HORRENDOUS.
U are a hero among us tcg players
I almost spent 90$ for a ETB box of hidden fates thank god I never did 🙏
Ugh! It pisses me off to no end! Love this video though.
thinking about dropping One Piece TCG cause people are scalping like crazy on new sets.
Secondary markets should really not allow this, make a button to report scalper!
E: just look at alpha investments. He‘s seen as a legend while openly scalping hard, while usually only crying out about losses in his vids.
Gold.
One piece too I would of used it as an example
Great video
SLOOP!!!!
this is too good.
Sorry I'll make my videos worse next time
Worst kinds are those that scalp and hoard essentials during times of need like face masks during covid.
scalpers are like landlords. Without them we couldn't get access to these things (because they are hording them and extorting it back to us at a heavily inflated price) so they are....uh heroes?
Scalpers are why new FaB boxes are under Map before release
One piece was/is crazy too.
Was! In a group. Some peops bought hundreds of anniversary binders that actually hold quite the emotional value to fans of the manga. I mean hey, maybe a few month later they got cheaper since they overbought but still, this needs to be prevented somehow imo. Just destroys the fun.
One Piece felt like it was more just natural demand with how big the IP is (rightfully so, OP slaps), but it there were also scalpers I could 100% believe it
Wooooo buddy! Hell yeah! Love love love love love this video! There is no defense for this garbage behavior and I will be glad to link idiot defenders to this video...not for their benefit, but for everyone else watching the conversation.
People try to defend scalping but considering it's a universally hated behaviour, they fail every time
my gooddddddd hahaha So good!
don't buy from rudies, let their stock rot on the shelf.
Scalpers need a real job
You would be suprise how much those bastard make and they even have this so called real jobs
Theres discord serves out in the open than organize this shit
And just not on TCG either, like piracy we can only make it harder but its impossible to stop it
Love it 😅
Salty 😂
Cant tell if your being sarcastic
Ohaaa, spittn some fire?? Lets see
Had me with the logan lines. Thx ❤
he's not what I would call a "good dude" lol
@@Sloopdoop dont know him but everything i heard bout lend me to the exact same conclusion.
Made me kinda salty at the time "pokemon had a hype".
Making money on pokemon had a hype i feel like and thats just not what it is about. Or at least i wish its more then that. If you look at how much they made on us children aka our parents back then (pre 2000 era bo bo bo) you may start question few more things. Lol
There are also like funny vids, at least in germany, about this one kid who had the control of the market lol and fixed the other kids too.
While me was thinking "oh it glitters" he was already like " yo thats a 50 bugs card"
Ive never been that as kid and therefore enjoyed my cards without looking on the bugs. Quite healthy. So pure. That was great. My poor mom though. 😭
Who hurt you?
Nice Video hahaha
Dont buy retail, buy from dave and adam's card world. Your wasting your money at target, walmart...etc. The cards are crap. People say what about the kids but you're there buying for yourself. instead of the kids. LOL!!!!
Just get a better job man. If you're buying any luxury items just stop buying them and then you could afford it. Card games are expensive hobbies. If you buy anything like takeout food you don't really have a right to complain about pricing
Scalper cope lmao.
Stay mad dorks! I’ve made millions off you😂
Probably a joke if not then people who speak like this are never winning a argument nowdays😭
@@fladingle_foamian can’t read that to busy counting my money sorry!
You make a half a cent
still counting, ill get back to you lil buddy.
@@fladingle_foamian
Im curious if hes still counting. 🤔
Humans are humans..calm down 😃
They are not pets😭
Yeah, it sucks...but at the same time, I mean...I can't hardly blame people for taking advantage of opportunities to make easy money.
I can understand wanting to take opportunities, but at the same time I think some morality and decency should be considered
Love a good scalp! 😂😂😂😂
This is third comment who uses cartoony bully comebacks
Capitalism doesn't reward morality, unfortunately, it's quite the opposite.
Phantom and Pokerev sell mystery packs that are a scam, overpriced and are definitely weighed before hand. They scalp the prices of those packs but you dont call them out? I hate all this misdirection and misinformation from these YT guys. Call out the real problem they are getting away with it, but im sure thats goes against your narrative. Such a joke man, cant take this guy seriously hes crying about pokemon cards.
what are you talking about, this is a video about scalpers not bullshit repacks. There can definitely be a part 2 discussing those directly as well as all the bs you see on WhatNot. What exactly is your point? You wanted him to call out 2 random people directly so you would feel better? Where is the misdirection and misinformation he presented?
k
lmao
I gotta say the working class Economy of almost every country is doing horrible. If you wana blame scalpers, it might be easier to blame the classists ruining the world first.
If you hate capitalism so much, change it lol. "Don't buy or sell too much tho! It hurts my feelings"ahhahahaha
