You’re a scalper, aren’t you? is a trading card store management simulation dedicated to punishing terrible, awful, useless people who buy popular or hard-to-find cards and resell them at massively inflated prices. This is definitely one of the most vengeful work simulators I’ve come across in recent times. Think about the papers, please, but instead of getting rid of the subversives, you’re putting pressure on the people who are trying to kill with Pokémon Prismatic Evolution packs.
As a Store Manager, you will monitor recent events and trends in the broader card game market, in order to question any sneaky individuals who come to the counter. It seems like a lot of the background research will involve scouring “WowTube” for clues that a particular card is about to make it big. If you identify someone as a scalper during your forensic interviews, you can ban them…or do business with them anyway, because you might not be able to make ends meet otherwise.
Hey, CCGs make a lot of money and card trading is a cutthroat scam. There are no angels roaming the shelves of Magic Madhouse. Forget it, Jake, it’s PikachuIllustratorTown. When you’re not serving customers, you’ll be haggling with wholesalers for cards that you think are about to become fashionable. Competitors may buy the juicy goods first, and some wholesalers may refuse to accept your business if your outlet has a bad reputation.
I don’t collect any cards myself, except for silly Tarot variations, so this is my first exposure to a complex world. Coming back to my papers, please compare, did you know that the The Pokémon Company plans to introduce government identity checks to catch the scalpers? Have you heard of the Florida chainsaw break-in?
I would love it if there was a real working CCG inside You’re A Scalper, Aren’t You?, and you had to understand how it worked to make the scalpers rumble. In practice, I think it could be more scripted than that. Learn more about Steam. For a relatively festive approach to scalping – a practice that transcends even Pokémon – wishlist Scalper’s Loot.
