Amiibo cards are tripling in price :(

[Jared:3]

Except, people aren't buying cards, they're buying hacked versions of things that resemble what could be cards. One is illegal, the other isn't.

And yes, your friend bought something they needed from a place that paid $0 to get it. Shame on Goodwill for seeking to make a profit.

Oh dear seems your still fixated on your "morally corrupt" argument, I'm just gonna leave because clearly you have no idea what your even saying at this point

in my honest opinion nintendo are the best company in the world. they care so much about their consumers. i will buy 67 packs of their freshers, AUTHENTIC AMIIBO CARDS for Animal Crossing New Horizons on the Nintendo Switch (best in the console wars, btw) because I enjoy supporting genuine companies who aren't money-hungry, like EA or Sony. These CRIMINALS need to stop complaining!!!!

hate to break it ya but Nintendo is also a money hungry corporation just like EA. the difference is Nintendo has really good “family-orientened” marketing. no one is criminal for not wanting to buy price-guaged amiibo cards and i dont blame people making their own. If the market was right and people were willing, I 100% guarantee Nintendo would charge double or triple the price of amiibo cards now than the $5.99 they were 5 yrs ago. Again, Nintendo is loyal to profit and investors like any other company, not your individual feelings.

Or you realize you can't win.

Also, it's "you're," not "your." Yep, I went there. I'd be happy to take this to PM if you're afraid to embarrass yourself.

I know! I'm a huge collector too, so I'm no stranger to dropping ridiculous amounts of money on merch, but that much for a card? Nah. I'll just wait until Nintendo does an eventual re-release.

i LOVE collecting game type things I feel you. you can still find some pretty cheap cards right now around ebay if you search! but yeah im rlly pumped at the idea of re-released packs. opening packs of mystery cards is such a rush

I feel like the post you quotes was sarcasm but honestly you never know with this forum lol

ah yes, picking on someone for a grammatical error to groom your ego and self esteem on an online forum about smol wholesome pixelated animals. we love to see it.

Not afraid to embarrass myself at all, I'm just tired of this "moral" argument that your making, it gets old at a certain point and clearly you having nothing else better to do than correct my grammar which shows immaturity..

 

[thatveryawkwardmayor]

@Krissi2197 honestly it might have been looking back at it. sorry to that mans if it was

but anyway yeah its dumb ebay sellers are price gauging the HECK out of amiibo cards. its not even super popular ones tbh I saw Olivia’s card for $25. shame on Nintendo for not re-releasing them at least (also make the sanrio cards compatible ;-

You did it again.

Also, the whole argument started because someone said they couldn't make a moral case against buying hacked Amiibos. I made a case against it, and the place went apes$@#.

I'll keep selling on eBay to people who are willing to pay, and if no one is, then they come down. What I won't do is buy hacked, stolen versions of Amiibos because consumers drove up eBay prices.

 

[unintentional]

the irony of some of these comments

sigh....... so anyways! condescending mess aside.
anyone else finding little hidden gem cheap amiibo cards still? i got pippy for $5 yesterday and chow for $4 and i'm feeling rlly excited about it. i maybe have been on somewhat of a cheap amiibo card binge...

I am so excited for when my local game shop opens back up. I got some high tier villagers for like $5 a year or so after the cards stopped being printed. right before it closed to move (and now closed due to covid-19) they still had a tiny box of cards to go through to buy all for 25 cents.

Recently completed sold listings show her cards selling for $16 shipped. However, if someone wants to pay $25, let them. Consumers are as responsible for the prices they pay as sellers are for the prices they set.

I grew up on eBay. Perhaps that's my problem.

bruh EBAY sellers are driving up the prices. Etsy sellers who make their own fake cards are literally selling it for $2 a pop. there are fake cards of Marshall rn on ebay for the same price of a real card...

god we're assuming people don't know how to browse ebay now. if you're done stroking your ego, could you stop beating the dead horse? yes you can find olivia for 16$ on ebay in multiple places, i also found that with a quick 3 second ebay search. they were making a point about someone selling at a price higher than both market price and demand. let's not be obtuse, and let's stop derailing into condescending banter

props to ebay sellers selling them for a fair price, no one is calling those guys scalpers. we all know the demand is there, thats why we're here in this thread talking about amiibo cards we want. i just wanna daydream in peace about cheaper mystery packs and re-release without being talked down to. that would be nice

Dude’s just mad because the “criminals” on Etsy (who hardly make a profit for the time/materials/shipping spent to do what they do, by the way,) are getting in the way of his reselling.

Bruh? I'm certainly not whatever that is.

And no, consumers set prices, not sellers. I can guarantee you that if the average price for a card is $20, and I list mine at $25, mine won't sell. It's irresponsible for a seller to price things higher than the going rate unless they're not motivated to sell.

I'm motivated to sell, but I'm not going to leave a bunch of money on the table. I sold Lobo for $20 shipped today. That's $1 less than the average. You can't generalize all eBay listers as bad guys, but you can generalize all makers/sellers of hacked Amiibos as thieves.

I got a Lobo coin for $3 dollars and it serves the same purpose.

I couldn't care less if mine sell or not. The mob here is just fired up because someone called both the pot and kettle by the same color.

And if someone pays $25 for a card that sells for $16, shame on the consumer for being uninformed. I'm not that type of seller, but whatever.

And if you're okay with the morality of it all, that's fine. Just don't condemn eBay buyers and sellers while condoning your own behavior.

It might, though. Because you get consumers who are ignorant or worried that is a sign that the prices are going up. In which case, the seller made the gamble to bring the price of the card up and won, and the card's selling price begins to rise.

I imagine this is actually how it went. The prices didn't magically go up because the consumers were willing to pay for that price, they went up because the sellers began driving the prices up gradually and the consumers followed, spiraling us into the mess where we are now.

 

[meggtheegg]

having a rlly hard time finding anywhere up here that anyone actually directly accused you of being that type of seller. not sure why you keep defending yourself for something no one's saying to you.

edit: this aged badly anyway ending remark: do some digging for some (not tier 1) dreamies of yours on ebay, ive been finding cards for under 10$, under 5$ even today and the feeling of having a new ac collectible in a time like this is a rlly good feeling! good deals are out there on ebay <3
