If you order directly for the second time or more from a major online shopping site, they’ll be really pleased.

It seems like I get direct mail every year…

When I bought directly from Liverpool’s official website, I received an email saying, “You are a highly loyal fan.” 😻

The issue of reselling has actually existed since ancient times.

It was just like the black markets during and after the war.

>>4

It feels like it’s become significantly easier to get involved than in the past and more noticeable.

Now it’s at the stage where we’re calling brokers “resellers” from there.

>>4

The black market is… worse than reselling, or rather…

Buying low and selling high is the basics of business, but being told that brokers aren’t needed is just a sign of the times…

The recent issues like high prices for food in emergencies and the Thai rice scandal were topics that were covered in the past in “Kochikame.”

It’s the same thing happening now as during the rice riot of the Heisei era.

If you say that, then wholesalers will become the bad guys too… not everyone can buy directly from farmers.

People who can collect to some extent are necessary in between.

I’ve heard that a characteristic of Japan’s distribution system is that there are a lot of wholesalers.

>>16

If you’re going to compete with me, that’s fine, but you keep matching my pace…

I think I have the right to demand gratitude for what I taught you, even if I only saw it in the newspaper, but that’s really all there is to it…

Since individuals cannot procure things like potato chips in cardboard boxes, it’s fine to involve wholesalers and retailers.

It’s an era where you can buy high-priced products directly from the source.

Unlike in the past, even remote areas have developed transportation, so it’s not difficult to buy locally or place an online order. There’s no need to rely on intermediaries to make a purchase.

Buy up limited quantities and arbitrarily set the price to sell!

This!

This is coffee and chocolate.

Nestlé and so on.

There are also cartels where major buyers come together to set prices and sell!

I want to be allowed to take orders for the rubble through online sales only on the day of the event.

Because e-books have become mainstream, physical bookstores are dying off one after another.

It seems that for digital, the author’s share of royalties increases as well.

It’s a denial of things like agencies and wholesale too.

Even if you succeed for a while with a bizarre business, you’ll eventually fall down.

Wholesalers and trading companies that purchase in bulk from manufacturers are necessary, but…

Resellers hoard goods, inflate prices, and disrupt the natural flow of distribution, so I wish they would just go away.

I’m glad they cracked down on it, but I really think selling masks for profit is just ridiculous…

>>33

I didn’t think something similar would happen with rice…

It might be completely different since it’s not on an individual basis.

>>33

Alcohol too

A scum that builds a dam downstream and charges fees without permission.

It’s true that you can just buy it yourself.

If I don’t go to buy it myself, won’t I end up choosing to buy from resellers…?

>>40

Isn’t it better to put it on the shelves before the resellers?

>>44

Thinking that I should cease to exist won’t make me actually cease to exist.

>>47

Whether or not you can do it is a different matter from whether it’s better not to.

>>56

It’s pointless to say that it’s better if they aren’t here; it would be more constructive to think about how to realistically act in a situation where resellers are present.

>>63

If we’re being realistic, it’s more practical to have some resale measures in place for items that you want to buy.

>>72

Unless it’s tickets or essential goods, reselling itself is not legally problematic, so asking for measures against it isn’t the most realistic option, right?

It’s also incomprehensible to impose the burden of measures on the store.

>>78

There is nothing meaningless or confusing, and in reality, what the store is doing to address the issue is everything.

>>88

If the current measures against resellers by the stores are satisfactory, then we will continue to live in a world where resellers exist.

It’s not realistic to tell stores to take measures until everything is completely eradicated.

>>93

It’s a discussion about which is more realistic and constructive, so it won’t change either way.

In reality, measures taken by the store are more effective than individual efforts, so the results are showing.

>>100

In that case, it means that the stores are properly taking measures against resellers, so there’s no room for individuals to complain about resellers.

>>113

At the very least, the opinion about queuing up faster than resellers has no room for discussion anymore, so it’s not constructive or anything.

>>123

I hope a future comes where you can buy rare items without them being lined up due to resellers at stores…

>>125

Whether there are scalpers or not, they will line up, so that’s off the mark.

>>135

So if I end up being late in line and can’t buy it, I’d probably complain that a reseller bought it.

>>151

I was just discussing your opposing opinions, and we haven’t even moved on to the stage of coming up with constructive proposals, so what are you saying…

>>42

If that could be done, it wouldn’t be a struggle…

It’s already happening among fans, so it will become similar.

It’s only permissible if it’s a business aimed at rich people with no free time.

If it’s someone else, they’re locusts that harm the maximum efficiency of happiness in the market.

Ryo-chan is

It’s unnecessary!

From the seller’s side, it becomes unclear how much will sell in the market, so no one is seeking it.

If the law continues to become stricter, it will cease to exist.

The ones blocking the purchase are the resellers, right?

Die.

I think it’s more troublesome and the earnings are unstable compared to regular work, but I wonder why people do it.

>>54

It’s because I’m disabled.

Seriously.

Anyone who tries to interrupt should just die!

As long as you pay money, you can get it anytime.

If this can only be obtained on a first-come, first-served basis, there will be people who have money but cannot buy it.

>>57

Wouldn’t it be good to hire someone to stand in line all night in exchange for money?

Originally, this would have allowed Ryo-san to escape, but the reality is that it’s sold out due to hoarding, so even if I call, there’s no stock…

It was easy with the PS5.

Just by bringing it to a buyback store, you can make a profit of 20,000 yen per unit.

If you have a car, you would be missing out if you didn’t do it.

Countermeasures against reselling incur costs, and those costs are reflected in the price.

No need for retail stores!

>>64

Since there are places where sales are busy and there is a shortage of manpower, reliable intermediaries are necessary.

The problem is that there are people trying to interfere even though the routes for sales and customers have already been established.

>>73

Well then, it seems that unreliable resellers without a name have no value in life.

Are you saying that advertising agencies and staffing agencies are cutting in?

It’s the same with reselling, but it’s scary how many people act like they’re professionals when they clearly have no idea what they’re doing.

If there are no resellers, I really don’t want to have to wait in line for hours from the morning at Comiket.

I’ll cover the difference, so go buy it.

>>71

Isn’t it something that everyone does at the venue, or are you just a novice at Comiket?

>>71

There are many instances where licensed erotic doujin can’t go that way.

>>86

Don’t buy such a thing.

It’s like with bank vault robbers; when a large group of people starts doing something bad without prior arrangement, it’s because that’s the optimal solution.

Scalper…

>>74

It’s already regulated!

What we can do

Here, I will vent my grievances and resentment.

It’s just about hitting those who start spouting nonsense.

Reiko is saying this, but if you think of Ryotsu as an agency, it’s not so bad since they also provide support after the purchase if you ask.

I can’t believe that a computer like this could have been made at the Marui Young Building.

>>76

Well, Ryozu often neglects aftercare or doesn’t provide care at all to profit from scams in a normal way.

It’s better not to be around normally.

>>83

If anything, such performance is unnecessary for Terai.

I’ll replace it with cheap parts and return it.

I did it.

It probably won’t disappear easily.

It is important for people to point things out candidly without giving up.

When it comes to game hardware,

It’s really detrimental because it hampers the spread of hardware and negatively affects software sales.

Reselling is one type of resale activity, but it’s different from scalpers… even if I say that, it’s hard to understand, right…?

>>82

Arbitrage and reselling are the same, aren’t they?

>>82

Resellers say things like this.

If I were in Reiko’s position, I would charge for information.

Yes, it’s an information product seller, right?

As expected, everyone is reselling.

They started doing that in the US after disinfectants and masks.

At the point where they have become a big problem, resellers have no advantage.

It’s just that it’s been somewhat tolerated as a luxury item, but structurally it’s exactly the same.

In this case, the reseller refers to anyone who is making a profit that I don’t like, rather than a specific person.

While saying “Down with resellers,” I find myself giving a pass to the ones that are convenient for me.

>>97

Taking manga and games to a used shop is just a resale act through the used shop from the manufacturer’s perspective.

The profits from that portion do not go to the manufacturers, and with the circulation of used products, a single item is supported by multiple supplies, making the original demand unclear.

Isn’t this store basically a scam where communication stops as soon as the payment is confirmed?

How about buying junk items, repairing them, and selling them?

>>101

It’s not reselling if you’re in the process of repairing it!

As long as it’s done within the bounds of the law, it’s probably fine.

By the way, are you properly filing your tax return for the profits you made from that?

>>104

Does being a nuisance take precedence over the law?

Since the basic merchant is a reseller, it is difficult to draw the line on what should be considered evil.

>>106

Since it’s for profit, do it in public where society can keep an eye on you.

Whether it is found or not is the same condition, right?

>>106

If it’s hard for me to buy it, I’m just being bad.

It’s a line from Pani Ojii.

>>106

It seems like a reseller is saying that to reduce their own damage.

The reason resellers are hated is simply because they often cause trouble, as drawing the line is difficult.

Don’t brush it off when you’re being treated like garbage from all directions.

>>110

They are being treated as garbage from all directions, so they have no choice but to take a stand and do what they can.

It’s just overlooked because it isn’t explicitly defined by the law, but it’s a nuisance behavior, so it’s correct to attack as soon as you see it.

>>111

Attacking others is clearly against the law, but what do you think about that?

I think the government should regulate reselling of food and medical supplies.

That’s precisely the job of a wholesaler, to go from the production side to retail.

The act of going from retail to retail is all reselling.

Before the internet, it might have been possible to crack down on scalpers…

I honestly think it can’t be helped that there are limited items that aren’t available for online shopping.

Recently, it’s extremely harmful because it dries up new products for general sale.

That’s amazing!

A criminal is attacking someone who isn’t breaking the law, just because they might be causing trouble for others, while pretending to be righteous.

>>124

Don’t be so angry just because you’re a criminal.

>>136

I feel the limits of intelligence in the immediate urge to just mirror back when annoyed.

>>116

I want to ask the opposite: Does that mean don’t sell cards you don’t need?

>>126

Throw it away.

>>129

Why?

>>126

Before asking the opposite, please follow the original exchange.

It’s actually not good, but please at least go through the trouble of quietly obtaining a second-hand dealer’s license.

>>127

In the first place, you don’t need a secondhand dealer’s license to buy new items and sell them as used goods.

>>127

Services like Mercari involve holding onto a product and ultimately “selling” it.

The platform runs on a pretext, so as long as you have a license there, it’s all good.

I was really taken aback when resellers hoarded food for cats with kidney disease.

If the law allowed it, I would kill you.

All transactions will require identification.

There was someone who took secret photos of a model kit buyer following the store rules and labeled them as a reseller, even though they had no interest in model kits.

>>138

Even if you bring up that example, the fact remains that resellers are a nuisance and an unwanted presence.

>>142

I’m saying that you’re being a nuisance by attacking, but I wonder if that isn’t getting through to you?

As a principle of commercial transactions, it is considered that a contract has been made for use for its intended purpose at the stage of purchase.

If you are going to resell, you have to go through a wholesaler; if you are going to sell used items, you can only become an antique dealer.

You won’t be bound by how you intend to use it.

>>139

First, let’s properly research what an antique dealer is.

>>150

If you are selling for profit, it falls under the Antique Dealers Act.

>>169

How do you judge that?

>>176

It’s a flimsy excuse that just needs to avoid being found out.

Card games really do have a lot of trash players, after all.

>>140

The subject is big!

It became too easy to process.

I think it would be a bit better if online trading were made more rigorous.

There are people who are troubled by being labeled as resellers, and that is because resellers are causing trouble for the majority of people.

If you think labeling is sad, then perhaps it would be better if there were no resellers.

>>145

Even if someone says it’s okay…

Reiko might think she did something good, but next time she should consult Ryo-chan.

It’s questionable whether dealing directly is really correct when it comes to those who lack information, as they won’t provide any information or do aftercare.

>>147

You should consult Reiko.

It’s just switching from an untrustworthy person to a trustworthy one.

>>152

Is Reiko the kind of woman who would listen to that kind of consultation?

TCGs originally had a money game going on in the used market…

It’s unusual not to be able to buy the new set.

Thanks to scalpers, there are people who can buy easily without having to compete with otaku who swarm on release day.

I think the resale price is reasonable considering the labor cost.

>>154

Too contrarian…

>>154

If there were no resellers, you could normally buy it through online shopping.

>>163

Are other otaku gathering and buying everything up?

>>166

That’s a reseller, right?

>>163

I don’t think resellers would come near items that can be easily purchased through online shopping.

Complaints about resale are basically just feelings, so it’s okay to ignore them.

Neoliberalism does not prohibit anything.

Isn’t it just the poor who can’t be helped by money that have complaints?

It seems that Akihabara’s Yodobashi Camera stopped accepting in-store reservations for model kits due to scalpers.

Otaku forming a line are just a nuisance.

The morning line is quite bothersome as it happens without permission, and if left unattended, it only causes trouble for those around, so the staff has no choice but to come out early in the morning to manage the queue.

It’s the store’s fault for not being able to set appropriate prices.

If there is demand, then it’s fine to raise the price.

>>162

Resellers are also the responsibility of manufacturers who don’t want to have leftover stock.

If the price of Gunpla is 200,000 yen, no one would resell it.

>>162

You can’t just decide that a price anticipated for resale is the appropriate price.

We’re in an era where even regular people think, “It’s a hassle to go to the store and buy it myself, so I’ll pay the extra fee and order through Uber.”

It’s amazing that just this one page is so interesting.

>>174

I won’t take the risk of being caught for unauthorized reproduction unless the page is interesting.

“Because we are taking measures as far as the law permits, even the manufacturers dislike us.”

I hope the development of the law progresses quickly.

If resellers make a profit, more resellers will emerge, so it will surely become easier for everyone to get their hands on it!

I’m just saying not to hoard; I’m not denying the act of reselling, and it’s perfectly fine for individuals to pay and ask for purchasing assistance if they want.

I don’t want reselling! I’m losing out! That’s all I’m saying.

Isn’t it bad to crack down on or provide administrative guidance to companies like Mercari that are selling resold items?

Now, there are more made-to-order products, right?

In the end, if you have enough capital, you can manipulate the market even with rice through hoarding, so why isn’t the police taking action?

It is often discussed that there is a shortage of items because of resellers, but it makes me wonder if resellers come because there is a shortage in the first place.

From the store’s perspective, they want to do something about the otaku who just swarm and cause trouble for the servers and the store.
