Same with Disney items. Especially Annual Passholder merch.
I do think some of this stuff should have a purchase cap, especially limited production member items. I do think it is unfair that someone can come in and buy out all of some product and members who pay additional fees in part for access to that merchandise cannot get it because scalpers bought it all up.
(Disclaimer: I have been an AP, but I do not care about the merch. I just think it is unfair that if someone wants to get it, they can't because scalpers got so much of it.)

So I have a weird obsession with Starbucks cold cup tumblers and coffee mugs. I use them though, they are not cheesily displayed in some glass case never to be touched. So there were some super cute glass mugs they had at Christmas with silver iridescent glitter in the handle. I knew the day they were putting them out for sale and went to a location I knew would have them on my way to work. Some lady came in that morning and bought every one of several of their holiday items. Granted she could have been buying gifts but most likely they ended up on eBay. So they released come new stuff for Valentines. I found the cold cup tumbler I wanted over the weekend. But have not been able to find the glass mug with heart confetti in the handle. So I checked eBay. I CANNOT FUCKING believe how inflated they jack the prices up. I actually found a listing that had the holiday and the valentines mug I’ve been looking for $100!!! They are $14 in store!!! Most listings for this $14 item are At least $30. Many are $50. Grrrrrrr!!! www.ebay.com/itm/2X-Starbucks-Glitter-Handle-Glass-Mug-2019-2020-Valentine-Confetti-Handle-Mug/293416444053?pageci=ce6de0c5-a4de-419d-9a8d-80323320b0fdI know they are doing this for a profit ,but that’s beyond ridiculous. Okay first world vent over. I’ll validate your frustration! I ALWAYS get whatever the Starbucks Christmas cup ornaments are every year. This year, they either didn’t make as many or the stupid bag ornaments or the crappy ass plush bear ornaments cut into their offerings. I didn’t get any ornaments this year. They retail for $3.95-$9.95 and right now on eBay I cannot even find one that is less that $25.

I just remember bears and bags. Bastards.

It's amazing what they get away w/isn't it? People sell things for absurd prices on EBAY. I'm always shocked when those items sell.

eBay doesn't infuriate me. What infuriates me are the assholes that go in the second something desired goes on sale, buys them all up, and sells them for exorbitant prices on eBay, making it so the average person can never get the things. I really wish stores would put a limit on things. Grocery stores put a limit on how many of a certain thing you can buy, why can't other stores?

Average working people that can’t get there the minute the merch comes out are the ones that lose out. OP I’m glad you are getting your mug and it’s not coming from an ebay scalper!

I don't fault Ebay or the sellers.
It's the buyers who stupidly pay exorbitant prices who cause the stupidly exorbitant prices.
Capitalism 101

It still pisses me off though when someone fills up their cart and buys every single thing, just so they can resell it on Ebay. I still wish stores would not let people do that.
I remember years ago when some line from a famous designer was coming out at Target, and by the end of the first few minutes, most of the merchandise was gone because people were literally grabbing all they could hold and filling up their cart. I just think it is wrong for stores to allow people to do this.

Yea you got it.. I was going to offer to look as well.
Funny about the ornament thing.. I usually get one every year as well.. and a lot of times I get them after Christmas on clearance... I don't even remember seeing them this year... except once there was a small display of them but it was really early in the season. I totally forgot to snag one.
My current obsession are the coffee cups. You Are There and Been There... I like them both... I keep hoping I can get someone who goes to Disney to get one for me.. Still waiting. LOL... Usually I don't hear about the Disney trip until it is over.. And I am making a point to actually USE my cups.. not just stare at them.. although they do make me happy!

I collect their cards and it's just as bad on eBay with those things and they're free!
Valentines cards (set of 5 hearts this year) were cleared out of my regular store - someone got all of them. Sure enough there's listings on eBay with the cards from a local seller to me. $14.95 for the 5 heart cards and the rest of the "Valentine set".
I just went to another Starbucks, found them and grabbed a set for a friend as well as he's in Seattle and couldn't find all 5!
You might want to look into the Starbucks Fan pages on Facebook as people network on there to trade stuff.

Having a store limit things can go both ways. It may stop the ebay problem if you limit it to say 2, but if a store only caries 6 of an item then you also limit then you have a problem with someone who wants to get 3 for a family of 3.
But I do get the irritation over the raised prices.

I love my mugs, the last design, not the current design. I put them in the RV so people don’t get their coffee cups confused when we have large gatherings.

I kinda collect those too but only the holiday ones usually for my December Daily album. I was kind of floored when I saw them being sold on eBay. The manager at the one I frequent the most said it’s usually the employees selling stuff on eBay.

Yeah, that’s irritating! I blame the people who buy all of them up and jack up the prices! That happened on the FB Marketplace around Xmas. People were listing those tall SB travel cups that looked “spikey” for crazy prices. It’s one thing to be in business and buy things at wholesale prices and mark them up to retail price. These other people are just being greedy, in my opinion.
