This is a tread for any stories you have of times you got ripped-off when buying or trying to buy Pokemon merch, or realized someones attempt (be it a good or a bad one) to rip-off people.
Here is my story:
In the new smash bros direct, the games developer, Masahiro Sakurai, shared some information on the returning Pokeball item. When the camera cut back from the game play footage Sakurai was replaced with the Substitute Doll. I wanted one ever since. It was released as an official 6 inch Pokedoll and then latter as a key chain and a 12 inch version. The re-selling price for the 6" doll is about $8, and for the key chain, it is rarer at about $20 dollars each. The 12" plush (The same one when Sakurai used substitute) goes for $163.80 aveage! Don't believe me click here to see the proof! That is absolutely bullshit, and why the random prices. $322.50 for 12" of fabric and stuffing is the most revolting thing I've ever seen, and I can eat and watch a lot more gruesome stuff than the average male. The worst part is the ratings, all five stars, over 90% customer satisfaction. Now why is there such a high price tag, well that is because ass-hats "invest" $300 to buy a shit-ton of them and then they are the only ones selling it, and they can set the price as high as they want. This "tactic" is called sitting on something, and I hate people who make their living off of this. Please don't buy these, please that would be the same thing as if you were being bullied and you cried heavily at an insult, your giving people what they want for being asssholes. Now I will have to settle with the 6" plush until Asshat McGee fall off his pile of bullshit.
Please, if you have any interesting stories that you'd like to inform others about, share them here and maybe, just maybe, together we can gather awareness for Pokemerch Pokerip-offs.
