ThisPokémon Trading Card Gamefan decided enough was enough with card scalpers, and sent them on a wild goose chase for cards that they won’t soon forget. CertainPokémoncards are worth a pretty penny, and while most fans enjoy opening packs and getting their hands on a coveted card, others prefer to take an easier route.
Redditorastrawberryandakiwidecided that those who wanted to cut corners and scalp highly-coveted and pricey cards had their karma coming.They messaged several scalpers and asked them to “meet half way” in order to get the card in question.Little did these collectors know that they would be in for the ride of their lives, not actually meeting anyone who had these cards and causing a bit of chaos in the community.
Sending Scalpers On A Wild Pokémon Goose Chase
Karmic Chaos Appears To Be This Collectors Solution To Scalping
According to the Reddit post, there were several different methods used to create nothing less than pure chaos among thePokémoncard scalping community. First, the Redditor states that they will beluring all of them to the same meetup location about 20 to 30 miles away from their starting place.From there, it evolved into some of the collectors being stuck in traffic, with one even canceling lunch plans in order to “make a huge purchase.”

A new Sylveon Special Illustration Rare Card from the Pokemon Trading Card Game has a lot of fans talking about its exceptional art design.
Two of the edits on the Reddit thread from astrawberryandakiwi state,“Edit #4: two scalpers are currently meeting at the same location. Edit #5: they met LOL. One of the scalpers still thinks I’m the guy he met up with and that I confused him for a buyer. I told him I think he’s cute”.Not only is the Redditor sending these scalpers to random locationsto get cardsthat don’t actually exist, but they have now met one another without even realizing it.

Even Though This May Not Be The Best Course Of Action
While this may not have been the best course of action to take against scalpers, it is an extremely funny one. One commenter,chickchickpokepokesays,“but you should still go and take a photo of the scalpers' meetup from far away and post it on here.“The original poster mentions they don’t actually live in the same state as the scalpers, but might do this in the future if time allows.
While sending scalpers on a wild goose chase for aPokémon Trading Card Gamecard might seem a bit mean or rude to do, it seems that most comments agree with the poster’s frustrations with those trying to get their hands on expensive cards without working for them themselves. Hopefully, whether the original poster actually does this again to those closer to them and film reactions or not, this post can stir up a few smiles to those who have either been wronged by scalpers in the past or are just tired of them not following the good old grind for cards.
