I went to the target on coleman in san jose, ca. this afternoon. 4 empty pegs (I have not seen joes there in over a month) but they had 3 cases worth in the back. I asked when they will be bringing them out (they have had them in the back for over a week), the stock person of the toy section said that they are UNDER ORDERS to NOT stock any more joes due to the scalpers buying them all. I asked how can I, a collector go about purchasing any if they don't bring them out. She said she's sorry and that there is nothing she can do. I was rather stunned at this logic. I asked 2 more times just to make sure I understood this clearly.
What the hell is that all about? |

How do they know who is a scalper or not? I have seen stores limit how many you can buy, but never tell you that you cant buy them! strange.......I'd call and speak with the manager..
You know what is sad? I can almost garuntee that they will put them out as soon as the next day after you left, and when you come back in 3 days they will be gone.......always happens.

So...by this logic...scalpers just ignore everything else and focus soley on the Joes; scalpers do not survive on Joes alone.

That's bs dude, I would talk to a manager. There is no way they can differentiate between a scalper and a collector just by looking at them.

The Scalper is the person that told them not to put them out so he can scalp them himself. I would contact the store manager, and if that does not work contact the corporate office. My Mom did that one time for a problem she had at a Target and they responded the same day.
