Aaaand my order just got cancelled.

Where's the sad face emoji reaction when you need it?!?! What state are you in?

I understand the complications of running a small business, but I'm failing to get how selling NFC tags/cards on Etsy for an insane markup is any better than scalping. I woke up an hour ahead of launch to get my cart ready and just now stopped spamming at checkout. I didn't end up with the cards, and the website forced me to empty cart. Went on Etsy to see if I could get an unofficial pack and lo and behold, vendors are really showing their rears today.

Controversial opinion, but there is absolutely no reason to sell a 6 dollar pack of cards for 40 bucks. I get charging double. Sure. But these cards take literal pennies to make and media (cards, cds, books) are among the cheapest things to ship in the US. To me, this is not business. It's taking advantage of desperation and hype.

Sadly its supply and demand, and the supply isnt enough to meet demand. People are willing to pay the scalped prices and that drives the market. it sucks but the only way to fix this is increase stock or combat second hand sales; and the latter is not very good since it removes your own power to sell things you own to someone else. It completely sucks. make sure more legit people get them is one thing; but even legit people can be tempted to sell high at the height of hype to rebuy it later when the hype dies down. With amiibos prices tend to stay high though because its so limited. ...

I just got confirmation that my order is ready for pickup and I have until Monday to grab it! I’ll believe it when it’s actually in my hands, but still, yay!!

I’m in Texas. Gonna get dressed and head over to see if there’s any on the shelf, but they’ve been open for half an hour already so I’m not optimistic.

Went to two targets and haven't seen any in stores. I over heard employees talking about them over the radio. Couldn't quite hear what they were saying. But I do think I heard someone say "we're not allowed to put them out". I'm still nervous my order will get cancelled lol

 

[Nefarious]

I just got an email saying I can go pickup! Wish me luck folks, that I can actually get them.

 

[Blueskyy]

Well I just walked by the entertainment area counter of the target I’m picking up from (hopefully) and there’s nobody there lol

I think that's the problem. Brick and mortar locations didn't honor their ad, and sold to people in store. By the time they went to fill your order, all the packs were gone.

My store is still not open for about 20 mins and the wait to find out if my order is ready for pick up or cancelled is so bad for my anxiety.

I don't have anxiety, but I too am in the PST zone. Waiting anxiously with you, fellow TBTer!

I just had my relative pick up my cards from the store. The worker at the order pickup counter told them that they were super lucky to get the cards - that store had only revived ten packs for sale. She said they were all sold online and that the one I got was the last available.

I am stalking my Target and a lady asked the guy about him. He replied “we don’t have them in stores”. So it sounds like they’re being honored here and not selling them in person. Hoping I get an order confirmation soon!

10 packs seems miniscule, but I guess it also depends on how many customers your Target normally serves.

Added a poll to this thread because I'm curious to see the ratio of successful to unsuccessful attempts made today.
