All trading cards in big box stores are set by a vendor who comes in from outside and does not work directly for the store. Customers then come in and move everything out of place constantly, and the employees don't know where anything goes because the items aren't part of the inventory system probably. All stock is maintained and controlled by the trading card vendor who maybe only comes in to fix things once a week.
This is true for many products for instance all Lays chips are untouchable by employees in every store I've ever worked in no facing no inventorying and no stocking no touching at all unless we're off work buying them it's insane
Ya this is true. It's just made more obvious in cards for several reasons. 1) cards, especially magic, have colored boosters and premade boxes. Meaning customers are more likely to shuffle them around while looking through the stacks. And 2) prices very insanely so while child you may have a 5-10 cent difference. Cards meanwhile have a more noticeable 10-20 doller difference. (I know I've had been suprised buying packs only to realize I've of the boxes was massively more expensive)
its not that they don't know where they go its just that it will take to much time to fix, because they would have to physically check the skus on each product and the tag, just for another customer to come along and screw the whole thing up. Plus as you said its the vendors job so really no point.
Worked for Anderson merchandisers for awhile and man, the baseball cards was still probably the most sought after. People would be waiting for me to finish stocking the shelf in a small line beside me eagerly waiting to grab all of the fresh products. Early bird Definitely gets the worm when it comes to Walmart trading cards. I use to stock it by like 9 am every Friday.
@@lark7311 50 bucks is nothing like all the lgs around me they want 60 to 70 bucks. Also Walmart has ten times the employees. What's your lgs name so I can look it up. Trun1 in oak ridge and Knoxville Tennessee was 30 bucks over MSR with brothers war. I could buy booster set boxes for 110 from Walmart and 130 from a lgs. So what's the name of your lgs
Fun fact, walmart doesn't set the price for cards in the front of the store. It is all MJ Holdings and the reason Walmart doesn't seem to care if they get stolen is because they don't lose money when it happens. MJ Holdings loses the money
@@KamakaziUnicorn I was about to say the sticker are already made also. One of my Walmart by my place has had the same price and sticker it seems for the pass 3 years. Like when those Warhammer percons came out and people was wanting crazy prices my Walmart was priced at the 50 bucks price I thought it was funny
Gosh i remember the days of going to Wal-Mart to buy star wars ccg booster packs and you had to get an associate to open the glass case they had all the ccg cards in.
That's insane, I have 5-6 Walmarts throughout town and they rarely have anything except commander decks, sometimes they'll have some set or draft packs and I haven't seen a mystery cube in 8-9 months lol
The real surprise for me is they aren't behind glass. Only half the Walmarts I go to even have cards, and they all keep them behind glass, always have to call someone to get them for me.
I have never. NEVER. bought a magic product from Walmart that has been in the correct spot with the correct price. And they NEVER will sell it to me for the price they stock it at.
Scan at point of sale matches stored pricing information to the barcode. The sale price is literally whatever the database says it is. That's the price "they stock it at." It has nothing to do with what shelf it's on.
My days of paying actual money for cardboard are over. All that remains is to sell what I have for what price I can get. I understand that Hasbro needs a profit from this game. But at this point it is nakedly exploitative and I’m not wanting any further part.
The price in the video is the commander price, not the collector box price. The collector box price RETAILS at over 200, so yes, that price online is correct. And there are 12 packs inside
@@harryosborne8215 Nope, not what I'm referring to. The collector booster box with 12 packs typically retails for the 180-200ish range, but there are sellers who put these single boosters online for very exaggerated prices and sell them from tricking people that it's a 12 pack box. Tolarian Community College has a video talking about the confusing nature of the big chain store collector booster packaging.
@@dravenboquet9498 Every business only exists based on how much they can rip off their workers or their customers. In marxism we refer to the difference between what something costs (after maintenance and labor) to the cost something is sold for as "surplus value". If you were getting paid fairly as a worker, and charged fairly as a consumer, there would simply be no surplus value. Since we know this, we can justify stealing from the bourgeoisie because the bourgeoisie steals from/exploits the working class every single day.
Unfortunately walmart doesn't make the prices on cards a company rents self space from walmart and they set the prices that's why all sells are final and cannot give refunds or reduce the price of messed up packages
The tag on the shelf says "mtg phy awo cmd dk" cmd dk stands for commander deck. If u look u can see commander decks behind the collector box. The boxes are just in the wrong spot.

Almost as if he staged this by moving the boxes to that spot for this video

Walmart doesn't control that section. That is a vendor that stocks that area
yea, not a chance that he placed 4-5 Collector Boosters in front of the Commander Deck, that the price label is clearly marked as, for content.

It's the commander deck price 😂

To be honest you gotta be sober to price this ,like this😂
That's the price of the commander deck which is right next to these.
That was for the commander deck next to it, you are correct, it’s not right 😂
Yeah, it's clear that the tags have been moved over cause there's nothing in front of the commander decks.
That’s going for $200 now
