This literally drives me insane that people do this. You want the win so badly that you are just waiting over a literal 1.70$. This drives me crazy. The nickel and diming.
EVO Vegas 2026 registrations have dropped by roughly 45% and is reportedly the lowest entered EVO since 2014
Many attribute the low player count to high cost and the current state of the economy rather than the games themselves
@CreedRespector@SakurasCardShop ive never seen someone cry so much, you should go through his replies @SakurasCardShop its just him crying, if he was up at 4am today he would of gotten some easy stuff at msrp
@SakurasCardShop "They want 5+ year old items at msrp. Ive asked this multiple times and keep getting the same answer."
Actually not what Im saying. Actively being disingenuous comparing 5 year old items to a 27 year old item too while you're at it.
They want 5+ year old items at msrp. Ive asked this multiple times and keep getting the same answer.
With this in mind, i am looking for sealed cases of 1st ed base set booster boxes. I know they’re millions of dollars. But I’m only paying 10% above MSRP. I want to be able to afford the hobby. If you don’t sell me this at MSRP, you are scalping and gatekeeping.

@nuhre_ Exactly, I thought digital games were suppose to make games cheaper :)
Also I thought the price hikes were due to Tariffs, its weird how prices never decrease due to the economic climate.
$70 for any game is criminal.
I don’t care if it’s an indie game, a AAA game, a masterpiece, or the second coming of gaming itself. Seventy bucks is a lot of money.
The fact that some people now treat $70 as the starting price and expect consumers to be grateful for the privilege is insane.
Hello Niantic Support Team,
I hope you are doing well. my Pokémon GO account been banned since 2021, and I sincerely apologize if I unknowingly violated any rules or policies. Pokémon GO means a lot to me, and I have invested a great deal of time, memories, and passion into my account.
I respectfully ask for another chance to return to the game. I truly enjoy being part of the Pokémon GO community, especially with GO Fest coming soon, and I would love the opportunity to participate again.
If there was any mistake on my part, I promise to follow all guidelines carefully moving forward. I kindly ask you to review my account once more and consider lifting the ban.
Thank you for your time and understanding. I genuinely appreciate any consideration you can give my appeal.

30 years of Pokémon with the BIGGEST announcement today, and the math is mind-blowing. 🤯
During the 25th Anniversary, the Sword & Shield Golden Box launched at ~17,600 yen ($115 USD).
Today it’s trading around 310,000 yen ($2,000+ USD). It’s very liquid with multiple sales just today. Such a great box anyway.
That’s a 17x return in just 5 years - a level of growth that leaves most traditional stocks in the dust. 🚀
What we called expensive back then is a massive bargain today.
With the 30th Anniversary lineup dropping, history loves to repeat itself.
Are we hoping for another Golden box for the 30th?
@fadethecrowd@UziCryptoo yep a majority of millennials definitely received the PPP loans and yep increased productivity with remote work definitely also caused inflation, makes sense
Required Hourly Pay to Afford a House
In 1970: $3.60/hour
In 1990: $11.25/hour
In 2000: $16.05/hour
In 2010: $22.45/hour
In 2020: $32.70/hour
In 2026: $57.32/hour
Inflation has destroyed the value of the dollar, making it nearly impossible for Millennials & Gen Z to buy homes.
@kev396ss@eBay@CardPurchaser@Whatnot You pull an SIR from a 5$ booster pack and sell it for 376.40$. You are up 7,500% in profits and are complaining that the service that allows you to make a living charges you to use their service.
Genuinely asinine.
CALLER: i make $180k a year and still feel broke.
DAVE RAMSEY: where’s the money going?
CALLER:
- $3,200 mortgage
- $1,900 daycare
- $850 car payment
- $1,100 groceries
- $700 student loans
- $600 insurance
DAVE RAMSEY: sell the car.
CALLER: even after that i’m still drowning.
people don’t realize how expensive middle class life became.
@Dexerto PewDiePie normalized mocking Indians for millions of people online and his fanbase turned “bobs and vagene” into a global stereotype for years. Being rich and unproblematic now doesn’t erase the racism Indians faced because of his video.
He is a RACIST and deserves HATE.
Asmongold says people hate PewDiePie because he “got lucky” and made it in life
“He’s a great guy, he can live his life, be the most unproblematic person ever, run his own LLM, live in Japan ... they’re trying to find a way to pull somebody like this down”
In-N-Out offers a $23.00 minimum starting pay in California, which is 15% more than the $20.00 per hour mandated minimum wage for fast-food workers. The company also does not advertise or rely on tips. Paying employees strong, competitive wages has long been a core philosophy for In-N-Out—one the company has upheld for decades.
@FreshRevenge Probably so they can sue the company when the shitter box strangles their cat. Yeah, I was gonna get one. Until people started uploading videos of their dead cats.
Paldean Fates ETBs have officially entered another level.
The regular Paldean Fates ETB is now pushing over $550+, while the Pokémon Center Exclusive ETB has crossed $600+ sealed.
What makes this even crazier is the original MSRP:
• Regular ETB: $49.99 → $558 (+1,016%)
• Pokémon Center ETB: $59.99 → $607.95 (+913%)
That’s nearly a 10x move on sealed product in a relatively short period of time.
Paldean Fates continues proving that strong shiny sets with iconic chase cards and limited Pokémon Center supply can become absolute monsters long term. The Mimikyu artwork on these boxes is becoming iconic.
Did you hold onto yours or open them?
