This is what’s wrong with the hobby. One rip and shipper has this much product whilst your local GameStop will have 10.

@gamestop I love Pokemon cards, but I can’t wait for the market to crash, just for people like this.

@gamestop Market will dip as always, won’t crash though.

@gamestop You are right. I misspoke. What I mean is I just want it to go back to where there was always product on the shelves, where you could mostly buy what you wanted online, and there is no need for these idiots to buy it all up.

@gamestop Hopefully that’ll be the case after the 30th anniversary and hopefully it’ll last a while before another inevitable boom.

@gamestop

@gamestop They only do this because people just keep buying from them. Would not be a problem if people just hung back and let the market cool so all these scalpers would be forced to sell at cost or below.

@gamestop You’re right but unfortunately it probably won’t happen.

@TCGView @gamestop Said like a true scalper

@TCGView @gamestop Clueless response 😆

@gamestop Stop buying rip and ship...

@gamestop Unfortunately some people have more money than sense.

@gamestop Smart businessman 🤣💰

@gamestop They do this on purpose. It’s also easy to stop but they don’t want to

@gamestop

@gamestop Neither Pokémon nor retails want to stop botting or make it so everyone gets some. If they did, they could.

@gamestop This isn’t botting. This is a distributor issue, they’re the ones giving rip and shippers this much product, so they can rip off their viewers.

@gamestop Sounds like good marketing

@gamestop they could stop it overnight if they just change policy and print more product. they make the same either way, and easily available cards are better for players. just stop limiting printings

@gamestop Wouldn’t change the fact distributors hand out this much product to rip and shippers. That’s the issue.

@HomelessPirate @gamestop @grok what is a “rip and shipper” Also why do people use obscure slang expecting others to know what they mean

A "rip and shipper" in the Pokémon TCG community is a service that opens (rips) sealed card packs on behalf of buyers—often live on stream—and ships the contents. They get bulk allocations from distributors, which can limit stock for local stores like GameStop. As for slang, niche hobbies like TCGs develop their own jargon; it's common in enthusiast circles, assuming shared context. If unclear, asking helps!

@gamestop IMO the worst UPC released 🤣😭😂🤷‍♂️

@gamestop Second worst for me. This is the worst UPC in my opinion:

@gamestop Oooof you're right! 💯 Completely forgot about Terapagos ex UPC 😭😂🤦‍♂️

@gamestop And he's going to go bankrupt if it drops 10%

@gamestop Even if it does his viewers will be still stupid enough to pay way over the top, as they always do.

@gamestop sittin on so much ass it’s ridiculous 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Nothing in that box worth all that

@gamestop But here’s my issue with this; this Moltres box is SUPPOSED to be a Game Stop exclusive…how in the world were they able to get this much product

@gamestop Imagine if it goes down like the charizard UPC and then all there is there is prices of cardboard that barely anyone wants 😂

@gamestop How is it even possible to purchase this much and from where? Everything online goes oos immediately

@gamestop They got it from a distributor.

@steezysworld @gamestop They did not get it from distribution

@steezysworld @gamestop Yeh they did.

@steezysworld @gamestop I can assure you that in no way did they receive that as an official allocation from distribution

@steezysworld @gamestop Feel free to go check out their socials and their responses on their streams etc.

@gamestop I wanna break into their house and rip it all. Leave them just the bulk and scraps. These hook ups are what @PokemonCenterUS need to go after.

@gamestop Serious question, how did he get them all when that product is exclusive to GameStop? Sounds like some backdooring and employees at GameStop should lose jobs

@gamestop i will never understand why would you buy rip and ship, just open packs by yourself ????

@gamestop This is just ridiculous

@gamestop It’s a garabage upc anyway you could buy the promo separately and spend less

@gamestop

@gamestop Here is another example of stuff wrong with this hobby. 800+ viewers paying multiple times a packs worth at the chance for something bigger. You can buy most jap boxes around $100. Save your money on 2 packs and go buy a box to rip for yourself.

@gamestop This is why my son and I stopped collecting. It’s not fun anymore when you can’t get any product. Been that way in our area for over a year now.

@gamestop this cant be real

@gamestop

@gamestop This should be illegal

@gamestop The Pokemon company should step up their game & start over-printing cards. It's more money for them & its more cards for everyone. Scalpers is going to have a hard time selling what everyone already has..... [1/2]

@gamestop Ngl it’s cool to see that much product like just a hallway full lol 😂

@gamestop

@gamestop @SanHorgz

@gamestop I don’t know why they do this type of content, I mean I see this and I think how cringe is to flex scalping

@gamestop Its like the poor people saying tax the rich!

@gamestop Its the buyers fault, they are selling to buyers who are ok with it. As soon as ppl stop supporting these practices the sooner things will return to somewhat normal.

@gamestop What's the appropriate amount of ill will to wish on people like this?

@gamestop I hope he gets stuck with them can't sell them and pays for them for the rest of his life.

@gamestop I would rather buy a bag of dogshit than support a no life bitch like this tbh

@gamestop What a buck of dorks. This the new Jordan phase or what? Fucking nerds.

@gamestop Or maybe this is the person that actually buys those low priced tcgplayer listings that are really just the packaging, an empty box with nothing inside. I guess so he can create walls of it and turn his basement into a maze!

@gamestop Nope. It’s a rip and shipper who charges ridiculous prices and his idiot viewers actually pay it.

@gamestop Bro, what did they even get that from? I thought it’s GameStop exclusive? 🤔
