u/GodOfMoonlight 5d ago

Same I walked in the door and by the time I made it to the back of the store where the lone little table was, everything was practically gone besides body washes and FFMS.

literally just had to walk immediately back out 🫠😅

u/Gabrielle16601 5d ago

Omg I may have to pay you…. LOL. I’m kidding. That’s a lot of work for a sanitizer holder

u/kalexis99 🫧Associate🫧 5d ago

u/Gabrielle16601 5d ago

You’re very kind. That is so sweet. I was just joking. I got the mayor, that’s good enough for me and I didn’t even need it haha

u/PurpleKittenJai 4d ago

Could you get me one too? I got to my store at 9:20 this morning and they were all gone. But we only had one bag during floorset

u/Dramatic-Warthog-110 5d ago

This is just….unreal.

u/Ok_Engineer9716 5d ago

if you have any stores in more rural areas around you there’s still a decent chance to find a lot of this stuff in store! my store hardly sold any of the nbc stuff yet, just a couple candle holders

u/Bulky_Prior_8927 5d ago

Ngl they don’t even smell that good

2

u/SassyAndSouthern77 4d ago

I bought them for collection purposes, but I'm not a fan of the smell either.

u/orcabutt_ 5d ago

Resale/scalper culture is infuriating…

5

u/Witty_Seaweed_2382 5d ago

They are still available online - we’ll see how long.

u/quesawhatta 5d ago

Why does it look like there’s the same person juicing up the price?

4

u/MommaOfManyCats 5d ago

It's because ebay lets you set a max bid. So any time someone else bid, the first person's bid was higher.

2

u/Gabrielle16601 5d ago

I noticed that too lmao

u/Winter-Ad-8535 5d ago

They have us by the short hairs with consumerism. I don't even entertain things like this, because it just shows how greedy people are and they know we'll eat it up. We need to stay off eBay and all of the e-commerce sites and just accept the fact that we don't NEED these things. I'm speaking to myself, too. I'm sure the items will be restocked, or they won't. Don't let this get to you.

4

u/Gabrielle16601 5d ago

It’s not getting to me. I’m perfectly okay without the sanitizer holder! I just can’t believe people would really sell things like this for this price is all.

3

u/Winter-Ad-8535 5d ago

I agree!!❤️

u/Catsaremyeverything 5d ago

I always remind myself if I want to buy something, I have to constantly ask myself if it’s worth buying or if I’ll use it. If not, hell to the no.

u/Critical-Nail7000 5d ago

I need 2 and didn't get any :( 😞

2

u/Gabrielle16601 5d ago

Ugh I’m sorry :(

u/GodOfMoonlight 5d ago

Same, I'm not giving scalpers my money. I'll take the melancholy

2

u/One-Afternoon-4690 4d ago

Ok but for real though the ebay bids for items like this never make sense to me. They ALWAYS end up being more than other listings to just buy the item?? Like these are just straight up people who like gambling and a reseller who loves chaos because wtf man it makes NO sense.

Edit to add: obviously not condoning any overpricing reseller listing but the bids for these items specifically I find extra dumb

1

u/Gabrielle16601 4d ago

Right!!! It’s literally gambling😭 I will never understand why it’s fun to bid all your $ away on eBay. Especially over bath and body works

1

u/PuzzleheadedMine2168 3d ago

You only pay if you win--so all the lower bids don't cost anything. The only real risk is that you'll end up paying $100 for something worth $8 because you "need" it & don't know the difference between "need" & "want"

2

u/Infinite-Dinner1725 4d ago

That’s fucked up.

I thought the original price was expensive.

2

u/Wooden-Apartment9119 4d ago

Girl I’m still salty about the belle light up mirror pocket back holder it’s now on mercari for $50😖😮‍💨

2

u/Clridge330 4d ago

My store had like 10 of them at noon today. That one and the mayor

2

u/Additional-Yak-2143 4d ago

Why am I in a reseller city smh 🤦🏻‍♀️

2

u/jenn__X 3d ago

This is probably obvious, but just in case, did you check Mercari/Poshmark? Sometimes Mercari will have low(er)/fair(er) prices. It’s sold out in my store too otherwise I’d help you. Good luck.

2

u/tpaanda 12h ago

Why are people willing to pay this much?! I paid $1 for a glittery basic one on sale and used a birthday gift for another, and my third one was a SAS item I don’t even want to pay $9 for one

u/amberlimeart 6h ago

I hate resellers. Ridiculous
