Not true, eBay revolutionized buyers being able to rip off the sellers so brazenly.

They almost sold their poo poo to a pawn shop, but this cool dude showed up, taught us about counterfeiting, and proved the pawn guy was trying to rip them off

Now they're gonna team up to make mad cash

They made a lot of money. And are talking with a appraiser and former counterfeiter.

We're in this for the long haul.

Actual spoilers for this arc: The way they resolve this is loving infuriating for how much buildup all this has. I know, I know, we get to meet cool guys like Zephile, but drat.

If getting to the arcs end just to get there is that important to you than Hunter just isn't for you.

Well it has a focus. Gon and Killua want to make mad cash. They plan to get the bounty on the Troupe to pay the bid.

Kurapika is focusing on finding info about the troupe and taking them down. As well as trying to get in deeper with the Mafia so to better track down the Eyes of his clan.
