They are getting them the same way most of us are.
I was at a local shop last week and a dad comes in with his son looking to buy Prizm basketball. He had no idea on what the difference was between any of the offerings and this shop had everything from blasters, cellos, fast break to even a few hobby boxes. When he asked the owner what the difference was at no point did he mention that that most of the products are actually intended for retail and the odds of pulling anything of value being absolutely terrible. The entire exchange made me sick to my stomach and left me feeling terrible for not speaking up.
pretty much. They either have people stalking Walmart/target for retail product to mark up or they buy from people and mark it up themselves. Just always wondered if they are allocated retail product as well
Oh well
