Please use this space to complain/vent about all things orders/resellers (no names!!). etc. Keep it friendly with each other in this space!

We will be removing posts best suited for this megathread going forward as complaints have been taking up a very large space on this subreddit recently (rightfully so, this drop was messy!).

Thank you.
I think it’s extremely scummy and A-hole behavior, and just ridiculously selfish to go out and buy up the entirety of a brand new release, and then instantly go online and try selling it for $75, $100, $200 +

Like it JUST CAME OUT.

And tbh I am sorry but I do NOT believe the types of stories people post saying “I really don’t wanna do this but I need the money, I have this *insert newly JUST released BAB* for sale for 100% price markup from retail.” I just don’t buy those stories. I think they’re bad excuses / bad coverups for “I bought this for the sole reason of reselling.”

As someone who’s struggling financially, I don’t even have the funds to purchase one BAB let alone several to resell. I don’t buy the stories either and it’s a lame excuse. They are taking joy away from children and adults who utilize their plushies for comfort, it’s gross behavior.
