If you can't see the writing on the wall, you're either naive, blind, or more bluntly;
too stupid! It's so blatantly obvious that Craptastics...
DOESN'T WANT AVERAGE SCHLEPS (ie. you, me, 90+% of the BO community!)....in this hobby anymore! Well,...
certainly, at least; not in the "Premium Product sector"! They don't want the guy who wants (example) a box/case or two of NBA Chrome Hobby or Jumbos! Or any other popular, mainstream product, for that matter.
WHY WOULD THEY...!?! They stand to make a
HELLUVA' LOT MORE by:
a)
NOT selling to us (sell to schleps = one & done = a lil' $ from the sale)
b) contracting persons/small businesses to break on Craptastics Live (make lots o' $$$)
c) offering allocation to said persons/businesses/breakers (make lot 'o $$$)
d) having breakers...run-breaks on Craptastics Live (make lots 'o $$$)
e) forcing consumers who'd otherwise be buying boxes/cases,..
from us,...to buy into breaks on Craptastics Live! (make lot o' $$$)
Ya' see...?!? It's quite simple, really. Sell to SCHLEPS like us: make a one-time, lil' bit! Do it
MY WAY (aka. the Craptastics way!): make
A SHART-TON OF MONEY! And if you need further evidence that they don't want us playin' in their backyard anymore, look no further than
FIFTY DOLLAR BLASTER BOXES &
EIGHTY-FIVE DOLLAR MEGA BOXES!
You want Flagship, you want Heritage, you want paper product and/or niche products...?? Most likely, you'll be able to eat until your heart's contented. You want..."the good stuff", they're going to
FORCE YOU to
OVERPAY,...on the individualist-level,
or,...
FORCE YOU to start buying into breaks! The writings on the wall, people. You can choose to acknowledge/accept as such, or you can continue to fool yourself. They just simply
DON'T WANT YOUR MONEY (in the traditional sense),...
NO...MO'! Assimilate, or look into..."diversifying" your hobby-ventures!
Today, set a precedence.
