taking a break or leaving the hobby

[StainLss]

just talked to the guy he said he said he had no idea that they were retail. i dont really believe him seeing as he is a card shop owner. but now that im not so mad anymore im not going to leave the hobby. i thought it would take me longer but im back lol. im just not going to buy from him anymore.

[golfermatt91]

did he give you replacement packs or at least more of those retail packs.

hes so full of crap,

A hobby shop owner not knowing that, thats a pure laugher~ Just coincidence the price tags were covering where it would say "Hobby" or Retail", I have never seen hobby shops carrying retail anywhere in my life~

I would simply tell him you feel cheated, that is absolutely ridiculous!!!!!!

If he didn't know, then where did the stuff come from, the pack fairy?

[StainLss]

he gave me 3 more retail packs. i got all base guess ill just build the set.
ill have to ask him about the pack fairy though.

This guy is a crook. He is buying a $19.99 retail box, taking the $2.49 retail packs ($2.49 is the cost per pack in a $19.99 retail box) falsely representing them and selling them for $4.00. With the EXTREMELY hiked prices in hobby stores, you should feel 100% confident that you are buying the best, unsearched, unretail product. A good hobby dealer makes sure they carry good, honest product. I personally will not be buying from my local dealer any more. After buying a "Just opened and supposedly untouched" box of chrome and not getting a single Auto. Then being told I should call topps. I understand his price hikes are to make a profit after paying rent, and all other expenses. I just don't trust the nerdy kid standing behind the counter when he is not there. I am about 200% sure he searches the packs. I will buy my boxes from reputable dealers on ebay or in stores. For what he charges 170 bucks (contenders) I can get for 100-110 on blowoutcards. It just makes perfect sense to advoid these major price hikes.
