It's now almost impossible to get your hands on newly released cards thanks to an insane rise in reselling and scalping over the past year. Selling on your old cards to collectors has always been part of the hobby, and like baseball cards or Magic: The Gathering, Pokemon cards can sometimes go for thousands of pounds. However, the resale market for Pokemon has climbed so high that even new cards are valued at hundreds, before they've even been released.

"Don't go out and spend a bunch of money and hope stuff will sell," said Senko. "Start around your house. Evaluate the stuff that you don't need." When he switched from reselling electronics to apparel, the first clothing item he listed was a vintage Buffalo Bills jersey that he pulled out of his closet: "There's no reason at all to reach inside your pocket and start an eBay business when we can turn these items that we have inside our house into cash."

According to Starbucks' website, the Glass Starbucks Bearista Cold Cup is a glass vessel intended for the chain's cold drinks. In addition to helpfully keeping your iced lattes or matchas chilly, this cup is shaped to look like a bear - a gummy bear, really. It's wearing a green Starbucks-branded beanie, which holds a striped reusable straw. At $29.95, it's easy to see the Bearista cup's collectible and giftable appeal.

If it ain't a story about sudden acts of intimidation and threats of violence over them, then it's probably one about scalpers and reselling. Thankfully, no one got hurt (physically) this time as the Mega Evolution Phantasmal Flames Elite Trainer Box (ETB), Booster Display Box, and Booster Bundle all sold out during their pre-order sale yesterday, with significant amounts of them going to folks who have no interest in actually using them to play the game.

At The Bins, a Missoni shawl cost less than $2 and was later sold for $62 on Poshmark despite some overlooked snags.

A physical altercation occurred outside a GameStop store in Colma, California, after one man allegedly cut in line to buy Pokémon cards, leading to a stabbing.
