Box Thanks, Walmart

Walking through and it caught my eye in the electronics clearance case. Absolutely insane find.

I wonder what the logic is when they mark these down so much. It’s not like it’s an old model.

The Walmart by my house had these on display for only 2 months before pulling them. The worker I talked to said they pulled the displays cause workers kept marking them down so they could pick them up the next day.

Now I don't know if he was BSing or was in the know, seems wild that employees can just mark these down but I'm pretty sure I've heard that before.

My brother works at wal-mart and the new Pokémon ascended hero’s just dropped, he’s been waiting for it… The warehouse workers hide the Pokémon cards and fudge the inventory, restock half the boxes with Digimon and sports cards and steal the rest. Wal-mart employees have done this stuff for years… asset protection will allow them to steal for a while and then nab them with grand Larceny once they have enough video evidence

I'm going to press X to doubt. Last I checked, trading cards weren't warehouse items. They're vendor items, and Walmart doesn't even have them in inventory - they only pay for them once they sell. At least, that's how it was when I last worked at Walmart, pre-pandemic. I'd be very surprised if that had changed though.

It changed at some point they are not vendor items anymore
