OT: Top Loaders Shortage

[JollyElm]

Food for thought...

For you guys with the 'dollar boxes' (which I frickin' love digging through BTW), have you thought of just addressing the problem head on? For instance, since everyone knows that all card prices have been skyrocketing, could you just up the prices of your discount boxes? If it's usually $1 a card, just make it $1.50? Would that tick off your usual customers, most if not all of whom are aware of what's going on with the toploader prices? Just post a sign explaining the situation. Or how about a toploader exchange thing. Post a sign stating that your prices have taken into account the drastic rise in toploader prices, so a buyer is welcome to buy the card WITHOUT the toploader for a twenty cent (or whatever) reduction? Or, since many of us bring all sorts of our own holders to shows (to house the cards we buy), you can take the twenty cents off of the price if the buyer hands you one of their own toploaders as a replacement?

Just some ideas.
