Sometimes I wish I had the 7 Dragon Balls to make a wish. That wish is to remove all scalpers from the world. I also loved the pun, made me smile.

[@Invisfire777]

Children’s toys being speculative investment assets are a wonderful example of how capitalism takes everything fun and makes it about profit seeking. God forbid a ten year old boy gets the special stuffed Pikachu nooooo some 45 year old dude needs to buy ten of them so he can sell them back at ten times the cost. It’s sad. I feel terrible for kids today who want to be into things like Pokémon cards or retro gaming

[@PkMkPresto487]

This should be illegal!!! Fuck scalpers!!! The UK pokemon center website has already run out of worlds pikachu promo cards!!!!!!! This was running until Sep 30th!!! Disgusting!!!!

[@JamieAlexander18]

Scalpers are no pokemon fans. All they care about is making cash. They are hurting the pokemon community with their actions. Which makes them pretty selfish and inconsiderate. They need to get a real job and stop this shady business to make money at pokemon fans expense.

[@saifal-badri]

They are selling a stickers sheet for 70 dollars, they are insane 😂😂😂

[@mmsbludhound873]

Unfortunately the only way to punish scalpers is for everyone to not buy from them and have them holding the merchandise forever, which is an unrealistic scenario. Even if a quantity cap was imposed they could simply rejoin the queue after making each purchase, unless they are required to register using some form of id which might put people's privacy at risk while also introducing an administrative nightmare to the Pokecenter.

[@PkMkPresto487]

Unfortunately there's too many clueless people in this world :( These people who buy from scalpers need educating!

[@cubiphan5469]

I saw in JP, there’re some stuff that you can only take 1 item per person. At checkout, the cashier check to make sure that no scalpers allow here.

[@Phyramar]

Started seeing the Empty Shelves Pics Yesterday. Its a shame scalpers get there hands on this things within a few hours and leave nothing for the rest of the crowd. The only solution I can think of is tough limits enforcement but I’m not sure if adding Armed Guards to the Pokémon Center is the answer either.

[@MrMADMADHATTER1]

All as designed silly. Artifical scarcity. Supply and demand, yadda yadda yadda. How bad do you want your cardboard? 😈

[@PkMkPresto487]

Imagine I was there excited to buy a pikachu plushie for my collection only to find none left :(

[@pokemonfan808]

I was there on day 1 before the event even started but later in the day and everything I wanted just for myself was sold out for the day w empty shelves. There were no backpacks. no lanyards of any design. no sleeves, no deck boxes, no play mats, no ukuleles, no skateboards, no reyn spooner shirts, no figurines, some pins were sold out, no ornaments, only extra large and bigger tshirts and lots of empty shelves and on day one! There were limit 1 signs up but the resellers seemed to have a lot outside the store and I don’t know how they were able to get so much quantity. Deck boxes were limit 5 but i wasn’t able to get any, empty shelves. Folks were reselling outside for 3-6 times the price they just paid.

[@tapuchris-cb9jy]

Pardon my French, but scalpers are trash.

[@nabeelalmulla8587]

The sad thing, if these are bought for one own collection, fair enough, but 9/10 all these are going into the black market

[@derekk2300]

I went today with a 9:30 slot. Still had some exclusive merch but it was definitely all gone by 10.. it opened at 9 😂 sucks And yes it’s true people were reselling merch right outside the center

[@SDCISHERE]

They got me 5 pm everything was gone

[@GuardianDiancie]

They should have a limit on how many of each item one person can purchase (at once) Similar to grocery stores during; where they say “2 items per person”. Then again the scalpers would go back in and get more.

[@enhidri160]

Could limit the ticket system. One entry only, no re-entry, even if they buy a new ticjet check their info. if any of it matches theyre out.

[@Yusei255]

wouldn't have stopped people's friends from going in purchasing say the 2 at once then handing them over to the scalper

[@TheSebliterator]

You might remember the same thing happened during the covid pandemic with food and other essentials, yet another example of just how disgustingly greedy and selfish people can be. I remember hearing a large amount of people were in tears because once lockdown started, the stores were all ''raided'', almost all the essential things necessary for survival were snapped up and they were left to suffer because there was almost nothing left over for them, that included some of my grandma's friends. This whole ''survival of the fittest'' bullshit was born from entitled, self-serving dipshits who hate sharing and passed down through generations. I frown upon people like them. People cling to life as if there is any kind of discernible logic behind survival, like it actually matters. Why? Death comes to everyone eventually and when it does, it won't even matter if you were the first or last to die. The world has more than enough resources and other things to go around, but it all just gets ruined by selfish, paranoid people who think they are more important than everyone else. But I digress, this whole situation with all the pokemon merchandise feels no different because that exact same issue has happened again here. I do understand the reality of what it means to be a big pokemon superfan but to snatch up entire stocks worth of merch like that and leave none left for others to enjoy is just straight up cruel. Life is unfair only because people make it that way out of spite and cruelty. Crasher, you sir, are an inspiration.💪💪💪

[@chucklesticmccormick5828]

scalpers are the absolute dreg of the community but at this rate i just wish pokemon would drop the artificial scarcity. scalpers are a horrible problem and they gobble all this up because Pokemon just refuses to see A) the size of their consumer base and B) whats happening and just say "if this many people want ALL of this maybe we should just put so much of our main selection online that people who want this can just get it from us, and people who go in person can enjoy the store with a handful of special items that wont be so in high demand" it would still likely be an issue but i swear this would root out 65% of scalpers in one fell swoop and make for a much happier community. Its a problem with japan exclusive items, its a problem for new project launches, and its worst of all here- but there are opportunities that would at the least make for a much happier community

[@chaudspieler]

Scalpers should all be locked up because they're criminals that ruins it for everybody else!!!! Also the pun did make me laugh Crasher! Thanks bud I needed that laugh!

[@Cherrycake7]

While there were issues at the London events, I never remembered things getting this bad. This spring they even put worlds 2023 merch back on store shelves in Japan and it took weeks for the last bits of merch to go

[@normangage6953]

PC should have had enough for everyone. We all try and make a buck to recover cost.. This is not the first time for them. People attending these events should already be aware of the possibility they won't get something. I understand they are not happy, but that does not make the people that did buy bad people. Trips to Hawaii are not cheap.

[@Speederzzz]

Pokémon center stores are slowly turning from stores to warehouses for scalpers every time new stuff comes out. How sad.

[@dangdiggity9916]

waiting for the life patch to nerf money

[@DeadlyFreshAK]

Pokemon has literally become a drug. Its bad. Its sad

[@richardhut1742]

just put a limit amount in stock each hour why would you even want a ukelele or a skateboard people buy anything aslong its exlusive 🤣

[@ShinyTom]

Okay I like the pun the best there ever was as a fan of Pokémon in general and I love puns so thanks for the humour. This issue however is the worst of all if not or the worst case of scalping and things being scalped. Also it’s the worst there ever was as of today and tonight. If it was 1 of each that is not considered greed for me but since it’s 5 that is going way too far and being so excessive to a point where it kept going. I wish I had birthday candles to make a wish to get rid of all scalpers that do this junk. People would tell me to be careful what I wish for cause it would haunt me for the rest of my life but in this case I would not hesitate to do so. Anyway crasher thanks for this vid

[@Yusei255]

scalpers happen all the time and you know it, so why even bother complaining

[@rubyredobsidiandragon]

I mean 🤷‍♂️, if I'm going to worlds I'm gonna buy my fill, I DO NOT CARE if other people miss there chance to buy stuff 😅. Now if one fool bought everything that's another story. This isn't a scalping issue, this is clearly an inventory issue or lack of inventory. First come, first serve welcome to reality 😂😂.However buying everything and selling it 5x the value is scumbag behavior 😬😬😬

[@supermariogamer1757]

🙄🤦🙄🤦 again??? *Sigh*😔😔😔

[@gellyzer0949]

people love money unfortunately so this ish probably never gonna stop happening... sorry but pokemon company is at fault too coff coff... the greedy higher ups 😒 im pretty sure they already knew something like this was gonna happen they should of just did like u said put a limit on how much u can buy but u know MONEY MONEY MONEY LOL Should I even attempt to buy a Ps6 ?😂 ebay and similar sites could try and stop this by not allowing them to sell it buy they unfortunately love that mulla 😒 im one of these types of people that know matter how much i want something i REFUSE to buy from those scummy scalpers lol to this day i still dont have a ps5 cause i just can’t give those scummy scalpers any of my money no matter what but yeah pokemon fans i feel for u and poke fans DONT give these scum bags any of your money if u want this to stop u gotta fight them vote with your wallets

[@Boltofbrilliance122]

About the PS5 thing, there are some people who just don't want their system anymore so they are trying to sell it (some above original price either for inflation or just because they want more money)

[@gellyzer0949]

@@Boltofbrilliance122 I remember trying to get one from GameStop they just didn’t have any they in stock now but with the ps6 releasing I don’t see the point guess it was a mix of scalpers and people that didn’t want them anymore
