So I went to a grocery store and noticed on my way in, a few people lined up at the Pokemon vending machine. The guy using it was a skinny guy with a small tattoo on his face and seemed to be with a female, and behind him was a plumpy nerdy guy. I saw that the guy was buying a large amount of Prismatic(which are sold online for like 4-5x msrp) and was placing them into a bag that the girl was holding.
On my way out, the nerdy guy was using the machine, the girl was gone, and the skinny guy was now in line behind the nerdy guy. No one else was waiting.
I decided to jump in line. The nerdy guy finished his buy and got one box of Shrouded Fable and one box of 151(another set that is sold online for about 2x msrp). The skinny guy was up and asked me if I was buying any 151's and I replied "yes, I only want one box". He then said, "I'll leave one for you", and bought all but one. During this transaction he was talking with the nerdy guy(which was apparently there with him) and they were talking about how difficult it is to find these sets. He was nice enough to stay and make sure that one was in the machine so that I could get one.
So these people are like 2-4x there buy.
The skinny dude bought like $700 just in that second transaction. So, he likely profited $1400 just on that alone.
I wonder if they are putting a tracking device on the delivery truck and following it around.
Yeah, its some speculation about what will sell well later.
151 is a great set b/c it targets the nostalgia generation, they got monies now, and would like the collectable. Other shit might not be good, Prismatic Evolutions w/e might be good for the Eevee fans. The next popular one might be a Japanese set, Glory to Team Rocket or something. Those Japanese cards of the popular sets are good collectables too.

Waterloo regional police say two men from the Toronto area are facing charges in connection to a scam involving meat and gifts cards at local grocery stores.
The scammers allegedly placed fraudulent barcode stickers on top of barcodes for meat at grocery stores in Kitchener, Cambridge and Waterloo.
Police released a video that showed several instances of the men picking up meat and fidgeting with it before returning it to the cooler.
The meat was priced similarly to gift cards that the dupesters had ahold of, so when a shopper picked out some meat and brought it to the counter for checkout, they did not know they were paying to activate the gift cards rather than the meat they had purchased, according to police.

If only Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles knew this method. Gift cards and meat...
