More shops should do this

    I’m guessing they’re selling a lot of unsealed ones.
    probably because the person buying it unsealed it.

    I suggested this to my LCS and they said it would scare away customers. Even though several other people in there agreed with me. They are also selling Prismatic at market and sold black/white pre-orders at some stupid prices, $150 per etb.

    Told my GameStop they should do this and dude was like idk if we are even allowed to sell opened product and I was like you sell open games that are “new”

    Boxes are brought out… You’re asked what way you want the product then very carefully unsealed… This really shouldn’t be the way it has to be done but those are the times.

    Lots of people that choose unsealed rip right there in the shop in the games room

    everything besides ETBs & BB’s should be unsealed…

  6. Unsealed? Why would you buy an unsealed booster bundle?

    My LCS did this for prismatic release AND limited to 1 per sku, 2 sku max. They’re still in business and thriving.

  8. If they do it like Japan and cut them at checkout I am all for it!

    I get why they do this, but it’s pretty lame.

    So because I like to collect sealed product, I have to pay Moore or do nothing. Even though I’m not a scholar.

    It just feels like targeting.

    Even at 45, you know people will still buy 1 and sell it for 65 on Scalpers-R-Us err I mean TCGPlayer, oops I meant OfferUP, sorry I mean Ebay.

    I don’t care if this gets downvoted but this practice is stupid and I will not commend it.

    An LCS can do other things if they want to protect against scalpers but this community views investors and scalpers as the same regardless of intent or actual interest in the hobby.

    The price for the booster bundle opened is a great price. It isn’t the job of the LCS to gatekeep what happens with what they sell. To argue against that the LCS isn’t controlling what someone does with the packs, only how they receive them.

    To me it is much easier for them to open them and sell per pack, but I guess you could argue they could weigh them ahead of time, which further makes the argument against mine more reasonable. I just don’t appreciate a higher price to leave it sealed

  12. Nice one! Which shop does this? Also isn’t 45 a lot for 6 packs?

    I’d take a 45% discount for them to cut the wrap

  14. MrSquidzz

    If they rip the seal in front of me, yes. Cuz they can weigh it and sell the unsealed.

  15. MrFluffleBuns

    I can’t believe we got to a state where this is seen as a good thing

    My LCS did this and had a bunch of people write bad reviews on their store after unfortunately….
