MJS Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 17 hours ago, What a Tuel said: I think that is because the supply was ramped in year 2 up after they saw the demand for the first run in year 1. It is just sickening to me to see these scalpers plotting already. I just imagine how many they are buying from Wegmans and holding hostage. I hope they eat a ton of losses and Fisher Price did a billion batch run of them. If it isn't worth it to you, don't buy them. They pay taxes on their sales and aren't doing anything illegal. I have no problem with people trying to make money. Get to the store earlier if you want to buy these children's toys. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it isnt just children's toys either, it also applies to ticket sales. So off base on both counts. The toy scalping are just extra scummy because money went to charity. Fisher Price lowballed demand on the 1st run, and scalpers took advantage. Fisher price shouldve made a 2nd run of the year 1 items and gotten more money for charity rather than the scumbags buying them up and selling them for $150 a pop. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like they helped the charity by buying them all up. This is the nature of collectible things. It has always been this way and always will. There is nothing scummy about it at all. They would not be selling them for that much if people were not willing to pay. And the same goes for tickets. If you can't afford them, don't buy them. Others are willing and able to. 59 minutes ago, LabattBlue said: What is the point of making so few of these, that they are gone in a 1/2 day? 😞 That is the nature of collectible things.

sven233 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I live 45 minutes from a Wegmans, but my wife and I were actually heading up that way this afternoon. Was there at 1:30 and they had been sold out for a while. Really tired of scalpers buying all of them up just to resell them. It's a charity item and it's just gross to see so many people trying to make money on them. Pictures all over Facebook with idiots having like 10+ sets stacked up to resell. Just trying to get 1 set.

The only truly difficult ones to find were the 1st year. Both parties involved have said since its for charity theyll make as many as they can sell. 1st wave is kept low on purpose for the sake of hype, and then next week there will be plenty avbl and any limits will be lifted. Last yr online sold out super fast and then for the next few weeks you could order whenever. Always good to have hype that 1st day though!!

JoPoy88 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 From sources outside of this board, yeah, people are for some reason getting nuts about these things. there is very little chance things like this will ever be worth anything. One-off promos can sometimes do well in the collector market, but it’s rare. Local folks - Remember 2005-2006 with the Sabres coins from Noco gas stations? What are they going for nowadays?

We’ve got them all. Ain’t worth s**t. And it’ll be the same deal with these stupid things - all they’re doing is adding stress to Wegmans’ employees lives.

Last year it was very easy to get some after the first couple of weeks and all season long. Remember that there is a difference between the ASKING price on ebay and the actual selling price. Just looked, of ones that were sold (sale completed) on Ebay, it's about $50 for one set. Edited August 12, 2023 by Just Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand it's a hustle for folks to earn money. But I don't want to pay for your lifestyle pal. You can keep your huge markup. This would be a cute gift from Glamma Muppy to her granddaughter to go with her other Bills swag. But I wont be ripped off. It actually gives me pleasure when they lose money rat baastids.

Clarence wegmans had sold 7 pallets by 2 and had 5 more otw for the afterwork crowd. Last year online sales were kept on, seemingly made to order - until they stopped weeks later. Not to mention the flipping of charity items is kinda frowned upon. They made it a point to ensure everyone who wants one gets one 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
