The Collector's Cave at Bellevue Beer — Local services in Bellevue

Edit to review based on owners response: I am fully aware how distribution contracts work and how you are getting them below or at MSRP from your distributor. Charging $150 for a $59.99 MSRP ETB is purely criminal. You’re no different than the people waiting outside of Target, GameStop, Walmart, etc and then throwing them up on eBay at an insane markup. You’re a store front that is charging scalper prices and it’s disheartening your only response to these criticisms is our prices are lower than the other scalpers in the area.

Honestly super disappointed in this shop. Purchased many times in store and on whatnot on the funko side and was decently happy with the prices and experience. Got back into Pokemon card collecting and realized this shop sold cards! Went on their website to support a local business only to find out they’re charging scalper prices for mostly everything on the Pokemon cards. $15 for a pack of 151? $150 for the new Pokemon ETB? Literally getting shipments from a distributor and then gouging the customer. You’ve officially lost my business...

While well stocked, there's a reason for that. The prices are absurd. Plenty of shops are charging TCG market, but these guys beat it by 50 bucks on some stuff. Considering I've been to mostly every card shop in south western PA, I can tell you this place was the biggest waste of time. Sure he can give you the speil about distro gouging, but I don't even know how they stay in business charging what they do. You have to go out of your way to drive there just to get even more ripped off than what TCG/Facebook charge.

After response edit

If by compete, you mean 50% more than the overpriced vending machine in the Robinson mall, sure... You compete. Shouldn't have to overspend initially just to eventually get a deal. They are TCG packs, not coffee at a gas station. If buying master case is the only way I get them at market price, wouldn't I just buy them individually at market price and save my gas to the store? The store I drove to 22 minutes away didn't have a problem selling the UPC for 40 dollars less. She might want to take a drive and check out the...

It's a really great place to go if you like collecting POP! Funko figures. They have a huge selection of current figures available, and a smaller section of hard to find chases and exclusives, for a price. It takes time, but if you do your POP purchasing here exclusively, you build up rewards memberships that can become discounts on POPs. Once you hit a certain status, it becomes the cheapest place to buy them as well. The location is a little uninviting, it's built into the offices of a beer distributer and could be stressful for a first time shopper. It could really benefit from its own place, but that may be far off. Highly recommend if you collect even a few POPs, it's interesting to see what POPs...
