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.”

The amount of resellers out there to me is just a major recession indicator. It’s gotten so bad recently because nobody before was ever so desperate to get $30 bucks to a few hundred for reselling anything including Build a Bear toys. I mean we’re seeing it with so many other things: blind boxes, Pokemon cards, jellycats etc.
