At a recent trading card show, a collector, known on social media as @GabeyCardStacks, encountered a frustrating situation involving mispriced merchandise.
@GabeyCardStacks spotted three Panini Caitlin Clark blaster boxes, each marked with a $25 price sticker.
The boxes were being sold by a prominent breaker on WhatNot, Breaks N Takes.
After paying a total of $75 and thanking the dealer, he placed the boxes in his bag and began to walk away.
Moments later, the dealer questioned the transaction, asserting that the blaster boxes were actually priced at $45 each.
Gabriel pointed out the $25 stickers still attached to the products.
The dealer insisted he couldn't sell them at that price and claimed ignorance about who had labeled them incorrectly. In an attempt to resolve the issue, the dealer called for his associate to identify who was responsible for the pricing.
Gabriel stood by the table for several minutes as the dealer searched for answers. Ultimately, the dealer refused to sell all three boxes at the stickered price, offering to sell only one at $25.
Despite feeling uneasy about the situation, Gabriel agreed to purchase a single box, mentioning his eagerness to open it.
Miscommunications like this can lead to negative experiences for both collectors and dealers. It's also a rough look for the business.
Update 11/10: The breaker, Breaks N Takes, threatened the customer in messages. saying he was going to come knock his teeth down his throat.
