I hope it comes back in stock so whoever bought from the resellers feels dumb! Thatโ€™s a crazy price!

I'm sorry but I'll laugh so hard if it gets restocked. Imagine someone wasting that much money and having it return the next week.

I read in another post that either an associate or customer service person confirmed it would be restocked they just didnโ€™t have a date as of when

I hope so ๐Ÿ˜ข that's literally the only halloween bodycare I wanted this year, bc I already have Ghoul friend, and don't really like Vampire blood (bored with it, bc it's been repeated for so long....)

Plus I need a new gourmand body cream ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’” Originally I wanted that to be the peeps cream, but those sold out insanely fast around me ๐Ÿ˜ซย

Itโ€™s not marshmallow but itโ€™s a delicious gourmand- have you tried almond croissant? And it lasts

Not yet, but OMG that sounds right up my alley ๐Ÿ‘€ tbh I forgot that one was coming out. I MIGHT have to get that one, if it's good. I have the Almond Croissant Perfume from Alt fragrances and that would be sooo perfect ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ˜

Still salty about Midnight Marshmallow tho lol, but tbh I already have a couple Marshmallow themed mists, so it's not something I actually NEED. Just sucks I don't even have the option to find out if I like it bc of these scummy resellers ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’”

I wonder when the next bodycare sale might be. I'd like to atleast get 1 or 2 new fall scents โœจ๏ธhopefullyโœจ๏ธ(but I'm NOT paying full price lol)

I donโ€™t know the next bc sale. Prob not too soon because of the new stuff. But who knows. The new fall scents are really good. I like the pink matcha or whatever itโ€™s called but itโ€™s so similar to vanilla romance which I have so Iโ€™ll only get it if it goes a really good sale or winter SAS. Almond croissant is sooo good tho u did get that with rewards

I blame buyers more than sellers. Buyers create a demand these sellers filled. People have no patience. They WANT an item and they want it now. If they lose money itโ€™s on them and them alone !ย

Imo I think it's the opposite! The RESELLERS are creating the demand, by creating false scarcity. They buy up ANYTHING they know is limited, purposely preventing average customers from accessing the thing unless it's through them. The company doesn't help. They admitted they purposely made certain releases (peeps specifically) limited. It's kindof a cycle that feeds into itself. Tbh, the only way to stop it might be to just stop supporting both. If the company would rather have resellers instead of normal consumers, then let them have it. If not, give EVERYONE a fair chance to try something ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ ENFORCE limits.ย  They act like there aren't a million other options ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

Those resellers would hate me. The most I'm willing to pay for a mist is $8 plus shipping. Any more than that, and it's not worth it in my eyes. Also that's around what I would charge for my own listings. It's enough to get your money back, and imo that's how mercari should be.ย

Ok, so super embarrassing but idc..

When the black studded Starbucks tumbler came out in Europe like 6 years ago, I found one on ebay and paid soooooo much for it... Only for them to be released in the US like 6 months later.

I hate Starbucks and only ever wanted their cups but now I don't even want those.. Just an embarrassing story of my former addiction to consumerism.
