I know what i'd do with 10 grand

what I can only hope to assume is a kyogre that has a shit tone of fat that its just melting everywhere

like seriously if you order these burn them.

Go ashens style and just burn them.

I wouldn't want to know what chemicals i'm breathing in

man you could flip those pokemon plushes like crazy

those plushies you could sell like crtazy

buy 20 of htem at a start up cost, pay for slightly betterr shipping, flip on ebay for 300% proffit and repeat

that is if they look like that.

go to a flea market

$7 each

Yeah, I could see parents pay 10

15 down here

I mena, if you showed me that when I was like 10

I'd say oooh shit £15

and I'd spend like alll of my pocket money on it

actually shieeet

flipping on ebay wouldnt work

you can buy them already on there for like 5 bucks

do you reckon that they're genuine merch that somebody stole from work?

you could sell them locally though

dunno

might be shadowruns

shadowruns?

as in like coppies?

Sort of, a lot of official merch is contracted out to factories in china right. What lots of dodgy factory owners do is run the production lines at night when they're meant to be off, and sell merch themselves. So they're 1:1 with the official merch with all the correct tags etc, but the factory owner sells them individually at a higher price than they'd get from a company like nintendo in bulk.

A lot of repos are done this way too. Like fake beats that look perfect and come with perfect retail boxes. They're shadowruns in the legit factories, but they put in lower quality speakers etc

@Dale yeah those are pretty bootleg tier

There's another term other than shadowrunning that is more frequently used, I'll try to dig it out, there are some good articles on the practice

heck i'm not bothered for that price

for $2 more you could have
