I may be speaking out of turn here, but I'd imagine most adults on these boards clear more than four figures after taxes weekly in a more traditional job thus this does not allow them the time to buy and sell wax and stand outside of Walmart at 2 in the morning.

I have a full time job and haven’t waited in line ever for retail. I understand what you’re saying though.

Margins are going to have to get even slimmer than that to discourage the bot bois, IMO.
Especially since so much in bots is the start up cost, getting the bot, monitor, proxies etc.

These people bot everything too. So getting big quantity and flipping quick at a smaller margin isn’t that big of a deal. It’s not like the only thing they got this week was a reload of Bowman Megas.

It’s near impossible now to get four figures of wax to resell a week without a bot.

Twitter and Instagram shows you how many collectors have gone to the darkside. A lot of breakers are in the mix on bots.

Very little baseball retail is being bought up by flippers. Basketball and football are the complete opposite. Virtually every retail product is being bought up by flippers and bots. New baseball hobby wax on average is much more reasonably priced, closer to MSRP, than football and basketball hobby right now.
But the post you referenced was talking about somebody losing money flipping baseball products, so I don’t see what any other sport has to do with that.

Any LCS that does this doesn’t deserve to be open.

I hate these individuals. That post on Twitter non stop about copping product, and especially You-tubers. There greed, ruined the retail industry. Let’s say by chance you walked into Walmart/Target, it was fully stocked. For the past 7 months, it was sold out every time you stopped by. The taste of resellers, you will buy out every product. Most would, because of greed. For bots, Target is working to improve there security. I know a lot more then most individuals about the overall infrastructure that make up the parts of cyber security. AIO and KSR, think
Like hackers. Companies like Akamai, & perimeter X created an application to stop bots that these retailers buy. The problem is, AIO and KSR outthink the developers of the product. Having there software, on your network is useless, if you have the best bot in the world. When a drop releases, that software goes undetected throughout there entire network. The Lazy cyber analyst, look at at the SIEM tool that monitors multiple security products - when shoes or cards release. Shows no unusual suspicious, behavior, and etc. the people who got there orders canceled from target, after there 1st purchase, yes the bot software is made to detect that.

They know the problem, there is a solution, but why fix it, just wait until it hits the fan.

It’s the same concept that just happened last month, where Target and most Walmart changed instore policy. Dude, Corporate knew the problem 9 months ago. They had every opportunity to make a change. But looked the other way. To me you did not care about the safety of your employees, customers and vendors. When Vice wrote that article, and other media outlets came out. Magically they changed.

Aio and KSR trust me will be crying if they made the change. It’s not very hard. VPN, proxies and all the other BS they use. Will not work, if an actual human opened up the the orders. There not your BS analyst, it would be very easy for there team to play dirty.

Anyone can claim I’m BS. I messaged the Sr. Cyber security director at target, gave him the solution. He comes back, says our team looked into the system, saw nothing suspicious.

Dude, I’m not your regular customer, I know how everything works. The company I work, we’re on cyber security projects. The consultants we bring in our experts. One I’m really close with. You said the wrong answer buddy. I can’t wait until you have the face the question. If I get Vice to write the article, it’s over my guy will go of record, and talk. He is ethical, he loves his job, and the number 1 rule is you want your network secured. Copping retail using a bot, will change. It’s called lazy. AIO and KSR our beating the system, not if a individual is looking at the orders. People bragging about copping 4k products. No way,in history that will ever happened. Truth be told, the security companies who create bot software will, never be one step ahead of the bot Creators.

I can’t wait until Ahole from target gets destroyed. His answer would be lie.

He dosent care to understand the LCS is buy/sell/trade. And that most stores are single location operations. And that a large number of customers want NEW product. And that if your hobby allocations keep getting smaller and smaller, you run out of product fast. And that the retail product, that keeps getting more and more exclusive cards, fills that gap. And never mind that target and Walmart have more and more exclusive products that an LCS can’t get direct or from a distributor.

Oh. I think he’s lying.

I don’t know what his end game is but I’ll tune it when it happens.
