Default Be careful buying cards in gamestop

They are marking up prices from their own website

Long story short, apparently gamestop is now the new vendor for all of those products that dollar tree used to have that had yellow parallels. So hoops. Donruss. Donruss mlb. Absolute football. Stuff like that

Like everything else. Prices go up. So these packs that used to be $1 at dollar tree are now $1.99. You can actually see them now online where you can buy up to 5 for store pickup

Well. I went to a gamestop just hoping to find some and sure enough desert ridge phx AZ had almost a full gravity feed box. I selected 10 and rang up $3.99 each!!! Store manager was basically like. Thats the price. Too bad

What. The. F. Is going on. Lol. I know $2 is nothing but do the math. A full box is 100 packs. What should he $200 retail just becomes $400

Also hoops fat packs are $6.99 on gamestop.com. 2 locations selling them for $9.99

They are marking up their own prices. Just a heads up

Didn't know Gamestop was still in business. I think I bought a Xbox 360 Dynasty Warriors there 6 years ago.
