Two months ago Tobias Graefensteiner posted a story on Reddit regarding how attempting to sell Chromanticores for more than they purchased them for landed him in court. A couple updates came down the pipeline as things progressed, illustrating the shady allegations that TCGDiscount made.
In the most recent update, Tobias informed the community that the judge offered him a deal after assuring him that while TCGDiscount's actions were dubious, they were in accordance with German law. This doesn't serve as a legal precedent in an official capacity, but it's something to be aware of. Here in the U.S. reselling is legal, but this case will hopefully serve as a good warning to those looking to resell cards in other countries. You just might need special licensing.
Laws are complex and often arbitrary. Even when things are perfectly logical, that doesn't necessitate their legality. Be careful out there- it's a crazy world.
Wow, that was mind blowing. Thank you for sharing. Some vendor’s desperation in the magic community is sad. I really pity the soul of that guy from TCGdicount.
I hope the global magic card community will boycott TCGDiscount until the day the business has no sales and has to close its doors.
Then the magic community can have the last laugh.
Can anyone say “Pariah” and TCGDicsount in the same sentence?
Also in the reddit post they spoke of the TCGDiscount running bot chains, can anyone say what bot chain they own so I can be sure myself and no one in my clan ever uses the bots again that belong to this pathetic human.
