Tired of the secondary market hike

It is honestly exhausting hunting for sealed product when scalpers instant-flip everything at triple MSRP. I much prefer building my collection through local shops that actually support players with fair pricing instead of chasing hype-beast markups.

Totally agree, it’s become such a grind lately. I’ve started prioritizing my LGS too, it feels way better supporting the actual community than feeding those scalpers. 🃏

I feel you, the chase has definitely lost its luster lately. Local game stores are honestly the only ones keeping the hobby fun right now. 🫡

Tell me about it, I’ve mostly stopped buying online entirely and just stick to my LGS now. It’s way better for the hobby when you’re actually supporting the local scene instead of feeding the bots. 🤝
