people who have purchased specific amibo cards...

I wish I could buy genuine amiibo cards off of ebay :/ where I live literally every listing is + 20$ shipping even from neighbouring countries ugh

Before NH came out, I knew there were specific villagers I had to have, like Kiki, Bluebear, and Clay. I was lucky enough to pull Bluebear from a 3 card pack, but the other two I bought on Ebay from the same seller, Kiki I admittedly paid £16 for but Clay was under £5 so. Pricing obviously depends on how popular the villager is etc, but since people can make amiibos themselves now, I imagine prices for the legit cards might have gone down

Nah, they are still going up actually even the fakes are 5$ a pop, unless you find a good seller some cards can still go for a ton (why whitney whyyyy)

Oh wow, I wouldn't have expected that. I think Nintendo did something on Etsy about the fakes, but I imagine they're losing a lot of money from people making and buying the fakes, not that they really need the extra money tbh :L Guessing you want Whitney as part of your island?

I was able to buy Coco, Zucker, and Ankha’s amiibo cards from a seller on Ebay, they were around $5.00 i think.
The seller was extremely reliable and I got the cards in a short amount of time, and they worked well.

No, I know, but every post that followed made some mention of them. Buying homebrew Amiibo coins/stickers/cards is in full support of illegal activity, and it makes no difference if one thinks "scalpers" on eBay charge too much for the officially licensed product.

If one is okay buying or promoting the hacked version, then they're no better than the people on eBay about whom they're complaining.

To be honest I believe it is a bit of a stretch to call the prices on eBay scalper prices. The cards are a highly desirable item with limited supply. The most I've ever paid for an Amiibo card is $7, but you can expect to pay up to $20 for Marshal. These are not unreasonable prices given the limited supply of cards.

I used to own her actual card but lost it, and I lost it after I moved her out for Maple XD (maple was a campsite villager, thought it would be fine since I had the card). Went online after that and she was like 20$ minimum for the real card. Nope nope nope.

I don't think they're scalping, either. I figured putting quotes around the word would have conveyed that.

Yep just agreeing with you really

I've gotten both the official and the unofficial but I will say that getting the amiibo coins off of etsy is really fun. You can get different art styles and I like to get them in keychain form. They feel sturdier that way and I can display them on my purse!
