Attention: RC
I'm just saying, what our company is doing with trading cards is a big mistake. Gamestop is a huge place for trading cards, even getting their own Pokémon promo stamps. They should charge MSRP. No more, no less. They're charging scalper prices because people are paying scalper prices. People buy, but it's a short-term win. The Pokémon and trading card market is a bubble. It's profitable right now, but when people have to choose between buying cards or food, it crashes. The anger over paying way too much for cards will come back to hurt us. People will actively avoid Gamestop because of this. You still make money at MSRP prices. Consider the short-term loss as an investment in future loyal customers who are happy to buy from you. The company's new direction was supposed to please customers. But no one is happy paying scalper prices at a regular store. Stop it. You're making it easy for people to hate us and hard to defend. I hope store managers, regional managers, and Ryan Cohen read this. You're making a mistake. Own it, fix it, apologize, and make it right.
