Then it's a good thing you weren't here when I checked the weather before heading out grocery shopping before dawn this morning

Flying Fish is dead to me until they get a new chef. Jiko is life!

I'm sorry I had thought the chef situation had been fixed

I’m not sure!

 

[Cesar R M]

Yep, I have faith in this, that I don’t think is misguided, but, if they “F” us on this one I’m gonna’ be beyond ****ed…

Well, its paid by Amazon. As long someone foots the bill. Disney can do anything they can... XD

Yea, that’s the other thing I should have mentioned and didn’t, for some reason.
Amazon has money comin’ outta’ their money, which makes this totally feasible.

Some who stood out on line in the park to buy the item are reselling the Figment popcorn bucket with the bag of multicolored popcorn in a bag for $250 online. Taking advantage of capitalism! But nothing beats the 2 TN brothers in March 2020 when they drove all over TN and KY and bought 18K bottles of hand sanitizer only to resell at a higher price which they started doing. When eventually caught part of their stash was given away.

I remembered that hand sanitizer scalping. That true about those 2 brothers beat that popcorn bucket.

As far Figment popcorn bucket goes, there is one auction that is likely to go over $1,100. The money the seller will be getting is enough to pay for part of the trip at least or make a profit since the person lives in Florida.

I want one, I really want one to add to my Figment collection but that's just nuts

One female guest booked a room at the Poly ( room rate approx $500 per night and up ) to gain early resort guest entry to the theme park to get in line early to buy the Figment popcorn item. That's an expensive route to buy Figment.

I think Disney could put Mickey ears on a dog turd and call it limited edition and people would stand in line to buy it.

Elvis Presley's barber Homer Gilliland saved some of the King's hair and bottled it. The hair was auctioned and the winning bid was $72K.

At this point I'm pretty sure those accounts paying above 1,000 are just bots and trolls.

But if the Figment item gets sold for $1K plus online then that is a dedicated buyer with money is no object attitude.

I have never paid retail for any of my Figment collection

This goes along the lines of something my 89-year-old Pop told me many years ago…
“If you market and package s*#t just right people will buy it.”…!!!!!

Carolyn could have easily gotten one from a live streamer that also shops. She just thought $25 was too much.
The bucket looks pretty nice to me, and doesn’t seem too outrageous at $25, but, $1,100 is indeed nutso…!!!!!

or just a reseller trying to inflate the prices even further.

Tom C used to be a hottie, and still is even if I don't agree with some of his ideas.

I never got the Tom Cruise thing. Not my type, I guess!

And they could rationalize saving money by not going to the parks.

It’s an auction. The price goes where the buyers take it.

What I mean is that the buyer would resell it later on.

Thats what resellers have done many times with Very well sought video cards for PCs.

Just for the heck of it I checked eBay 6 pages of figment popcorn buckets one was bid on $399 crazy. I have 2 of the original figment plush toys from when my boys were very little and passed them on to the granddaughters, I better get them back they might be worth something

I’ve done it with music. That was my business for 12 years before opening my traditional stores. I would go to pawn shops and record stores and buy certain CDs they thought were junk, and sell them on eBay. Nothing wrong with that. The guy in Japan paying $50 for an obscure R&B CD single from 1994 is very appreciative that I invested the time to visit every pawn shop in Nashville until i found it.

No different than collecting coins, stamps, etc. Some go up in value, others do not.

Doing this is not without risk (chargebacks, etc.)

Disney could curb it easily - make more.
