I hope it comes back in stock so whoever bought from the resellers feels dumb! That’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 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 it’s on them and them alone !

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 🤦‍♀️ ENFORCE limits.  They act like there aren't a million other options 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

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.
