This is my local game store. I really like them but now with Pokémon they are showing their true colors. I cannot hypothesize why they are charging so much for these items when MSRP is $50 on the Bloomjng Waters and $27.99 on the 151 Booster Bundle. I admit I did purchase one booster bundle for their price of $90 because I just got into the hobby and couldn’t find product anywhere. Had some nice pulls so was worth it but I won’t pay $90 again. Why are local stores charging this much? Are they purchasing at market rate and not distributor price? Or are they just intentionally screwing us?
