Who needs scalpers when GameStop is marking up Pokémon cards by more than 300 percent?
The retailer is charging obscene amounts for the 30th anniversary Pokémon cards.
Summary
The retailer is charging obscene amounts for the 30th anniversary Pokémon cards. The price gouging of Pokémon cards has become such a problem that last week during a shareholding meeting , Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa acknowledged that the current retail environment has led "to high-priced reselling in the market." In other words, the Pokémon trading card game (TCG) has a problem with scalping. To combat this, Nintendo says that it and The Pokémon Company will "take measures to respond to this issue."
