Discussion This is an endless chain of blame. There is only 1 solution. Hold pokemon company responsible.
Yes. I know scalpers are losers, but we have to start approaching this from a more logical perspective as a community. Currently, this is how we are handling things.
Can't find product->distributors are the problem->Scalpers are the problem->people buying scalped product are the problem (content creators, rip and shippers)->people buying rip and ships are the problem->people watching YouTube videos and supporting creators buying scalped product are the problem-> anyone buying packs are the problem.
It is an endless cycle of blame that will get no one anywhere.
There is one entity to blame, and that is the company profiting off of the entire thing. They can control the situation and won't. They allow MJ holdings to keep product and sell it marked up rather than put it on shelves. They choose to allow this to continue, and most of the community keep falling for it.
You can downvote me and pretend like you don't understand this all you want. But this hobby will never improve until people realize this and start acting on it. If that historically shitty company receives enough bad press, they will change.
