Getting over on stores?

I haven't scaled in years (since Light of Destruction) because I'd probably get bad Karma from it... and yeah, scaling is working the system since the game isn't balanced. Most think Yugioh is a kids game, but it's a game for people with money... and the people with the most expensive cards usually win.

Doesn't like much of a fair game then. It sounds like the American legal system.

I scaled back at Duelist Pack Aster (was that his name? The one with all the Destiny Heroes) I got the two rarest ones and immediately sold them for $60 a pop

Is anyone in the practice of getting over on stores?

Meaning buying something, using it for a bit and then returning it?

I remember The Simpsons episode:






I've seen DC toys that are part of the "Connect and Collect" Series on store pegs with the missing "C & C" parts. Appearently there are people buying the figure and returning without the C&C part.

And getting back to Homer Simpson, I think what he did in that episode is shady and unethical. It's like renting something and not paying any rental fee. Yes, you're getting over, but it's bad karma.

Guilty as charged, as well ... But, haven't done it in a very long time ... I paid my penance for my sins though ... I worked 16+ years in retail management after the last time ...

Had to think about this, but I used my buddies receipt to return my Xbox 360 to a Sam's Club. Had the RROD, took it back and actually made money off of it.

The last duelist pack I scaled was the one that had Card Trooper. I sold/traded those for $30 a pop.

The current Yugioh set (STON) is great for scaling. There are some high-dollar cards that could make you a good amount of cash.

It's not really a fair game. The people with the most expensive cards normally win. In addition, if you know people, you can influence judges to rule in your favor during tournaments.

In my experience, in the UK you can't return an item without a receipt,except for own-brand items.

I don't remember ever doing this myself, but I new a couple of guys that would do this...all day!

They would start early in the day and go as long as they could. They would buy new Super Nintendo games at one store (at sale prices) and return them to another store for a larger refund. They did this for a while, I rode along with them on a few of their adventures...interesting.

I can honestly say I have never done this the closest I've done is if I find a variant cover at a book store I'll check the net for values and see if it's worth picking up for once price to make a profit off someone looking for that variant.

Dude, I think you got ripped off. Doesn't Card Trooper go for 60-ish?

Never done this, though I have a tradition amongst stores. For some odd reason, whenever there's a grand opening of a store, I have to be the first person ever to use their bathroom for a huge, raging poop. For reals, it started like six years ago when I popped several crapper cherries at a local mall, but back then it was like, one big ka-winky-dink. Then after I realized, it became sort of a hilarious obsession.

Nah, it topped at $40. I undersold the cards to move them faster. Considering the pack was only $1, I was really getting over.

Card Trooper now is about $12 for the Ultra rare. They limited the card to 1 per deck several formats ago and raised it to two last format. They also made it a common in some Structure deck.
