  back in about 2013-ish I asked my mom for a lego set for christmas. I accidentally saw it in the back of her trunk and got excited. Christmas came and went and I didn&apos;t get the lego set. I thought she&apos;d returned it. Turns out she bought it because she saw you could sell toys online around the holidays for higher prices.<br><br>I got the lego set 3 months later, as nobody wanted to buy a $300 lego set from some rando

  i remember my local savers would sell &nbsp;wiis, xbox 360s, even ps3s for 30 dollars in the electronics section in the open around pre 2020. Now they sell for 70 or 80 dollars enclosed so now you have to ask an employee to get the wii at checkout

  Hustle culture in general Is a blight of modern existence. Hobbies that are meant to be fun escapes from the grind of work ot schooling HAVE to be another way to &apos;get the bag&apos;. Why bother in painting Miniatures when you can sell your service online? Why are you making Linolium block paintings when you can shove it on Etsy for a profit?<br>It turns everything into the capitalism game of &apos;infinite money machine&apos; and it&apos;s just tiring.

  This kinda situation happened with the Tickle Me Elmo toys and the Beanie baby craze. Folks were buying up these &quot;allegedly&quot; rare variants of toys as some weird investment scheme, but eventually they all would lose value and be stuck with entire rooms of beanie babies in glass cases. <br>It&apos;s funny cause they reaped what they sowed, but sad because they deprived children of items specifically meant for them. It&apos;s scummy behavior and it inherently is exploitative, the whole reselling market is pretty much a grift.

  I used to know a women that did this as her “hustle” only she would steal most of the stuff she was re-selling for a higher price. So even worse than just re-selling.

  Being part of the SW lego fandom I was laughing my ass off when lego decided to release a captain Rex figurine in like a $10 set and resellers were loosing their fucking minds.<br><br>Also I know other people have said this but the quality of your content is up there with the bigger commentary channels. You&apos;re gonna make it big bro

  I worked at thrift store for over a year. Do you know how hard it is to stand there and watch as you see the same resellers day by day, snatching some squishmallow or some other product from a child, just to make a few extra bucks? Disgusting and heartless people.

  this stuff is so frustrating. i collect toys and theres a lot of lines that are just impossible to buy second hand. even ones that are still out which is just insane and should never have happened. one of the first things i always say to ppl about my hobby is how much i hate resellers.

  The thrift store one is what irks me the most. I used to go to the thrift store to get nice things at a low price and also to help the environment by preventing it from going to a landfill. But now it feels super hard to do that and enjoy what I used to love because the store has to compete with scalping.
