In your opinion, when in reality many of the things I stated are factual. Many from personal experiences in many different industries. I also have a MBA in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing. I have been collecting since about 1999. I just don't like being lied to by the place that has my goods. It just doesn't make me feel right.

Sorry, if that is something you enjoy having happen to you @Angel of Death That's factually incorrect. For example, you misused the term "estimate" and misrepresented "scalpers", among other things. I am going on record to officially challenge the claim that you have an MBA. That may be the most laughable statement in which you've made.

And I was agreeing with the first two people who posted on this thread. Because it is 100% True. It is going to drive away future business growth in the Pokemon Sector which is why I think it should be addressed. There is no such thing as scalpers in the card world. That is exactly why I believe your clueless. I used to work a sales job to where I was just a middle man for computer products, as in I would buy products from major manufactures and resell them for a higher price to another business. If someone called us scalpers, you would look stupid and people would think you have some sort of mental disorder. Its called capitalism to where people buy things for cheap and resell them for more. If you dont like it then you might want to relocate to some communist country. And nobody is taking your advice. Its cringy and childish at best. But Im just going to end my discussion with you since its like talking to a wall. Just wanted to state for the record that nobody should listen to you since you sound like some middle schooler who is just angry that his pokeman cards are not being graded as perfectly as they wanted. If you ever want to talk with grown ups, Id happy to have a discussion but I just dont talk to little kids or people who act like children since thats kind of weird.

ShiningCollectibles Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) Okay, Scalpers are no different than Con-artists. I mean we can just call them what they are Exactly, what many of them have done to the Pokémon hobby in General and the Grading Community Lately. Where instead of value-ing the cards based on actual sentiment they just buy and sell. Like it is some mass operation.... Destroying the true collectors who actually enjoy the hobby. I sent you a picture of my Degree @Angel of Death Once again this post that I made was based off a Lie I was given by an employee here the other day. And I just dislike being lied too when it is about my possessions that I paid money for. Edited February 15, 2021 by ShiningCollectibles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And "hoarders", as in people who just "Collect" stuff and will take it to their graves are nuts and are like the guys in the 40 year old virgin.... You see how insulting people is not nice?

But I mean con-artists love to feed on anything. But I mean I am pretty sure the same people commenting weren't told their cards were gonna move a few weeks ago and then told they won't move for another month. So I totally understand why you aren't upset. Edited February 15, 2021 by ShiningCollectibles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If walmart buys cheap stuff from china and resells it for a profit, then they are all con artist according to your logic. Only people who give stuff away for free are good people. And hoarders are just the best people. Because they dont make money off kids toys and hang on to stuff forever, they are good people. Do you even read what you type before you post it?

No, I am saying that many people know that people in the Pokemon Hobby enjoy the cards. So they are taking advantage of it to force them to pay top dollar for it. It is like what a drug company did and ended up going to jail for. Putting up the price of a prescription drug 800% which is kind of what is going on with the Pokemon Market Lately.

Nobody cares that he likes being a corporate slave. Apparently having a desk job to where someone tells you what to do all day long qualifies you to being a "good person", but the minute that you decide to resell kids toys and be your own boss, your not a good person. Many names I could call this guy, but Im not low class and like living in reality to where I respect that he probably has something going on up there and do not want to aggravate whatever is going on. theCapraAegagrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a buddy who got one and he told me that business school is just a way to party with people who had corporate desk jobs. This is not the 80s anymore to where going to business school meant something. Anyone can go on the internet and get an MBA providing they fork over a ton of money, which is easy since you just take out student loans and further put yourself further on the hamster wheel. I could write a whole book about why everyone this guy says is just completely wrong but its just a waste of time. Waste of energy on someone who just has no regard for anything but themselves. theCapraAegagrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I guess you could if you were only in a (Hobby) to make money It would feel like a job if that was the case. Customer Service is important to me and when a agent tells me my cards are going to be moving through received in about a week/two and than three weeks go by so I call in. They tell me it isn't going to be till March 20th. That is when I start to voice my opinion. Sorry, if you don't like that.

In your world, only consumers exist. Nobody makes anything, nobody sells anything, nobody outsources salesforces, it just all magically appears. Im sorry that you have the worldview of a child but that just isnt normal man. theCapraAegagrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I haven't, because factually you have not been "lied to". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
