Seriously, it’s loser behavior.

    Wait I thought the Steam Frame is sold to random people who registered for the purchase? And only one per person? So how do Scalpers purchase them in bulk?

    Do not look at the tcg scene

    Riftbound t1 collectors set was set to drop for 350 usd, scalpers resold it for 6k

    Pokemon is the worst tcg, no one plays the card game, it’s literally cardboard collection simulator

    I somehow ended up on a Pokemon card collector Facebook group.

    Scalpers are losing thier mind because the drop rates of rare cards are higher in the new sets and they made ALOT of sets.

    So a lot of the scalpers are like “how could they do this to us! This is my livelihood “ and all the people who enjoy the game are like “well this is fucking amazing!”

    Report them all and give them fake offers for the lulz. Even better, when they actually ship, find the people selling them on Facebook and make them drive an hour away while you sit in your room laughing.

    I recently got lucky and managed to pick up a Cafelat Robot (really hard to get manual espresso maker). It completely sold out in minutes. I paid $495 CAD. I then saw a local listing a few days later, someone was selling one BNIB for $950. It sold in a couple hours. I was so mad when I saw it sold.

    I wish eBay and other popular marketplaces would just enforce msrp or lower for certain categories new

    Given that Steam Frame is ARM64, and runs a rooted version of Linux, I wonder how long until a homebrew version crops up. I hope people are playing with this idea.
