YOU MAKE THE CALL ON THIS ONE...

I don't know much about the Fingerlings. What I have found out is they sell for $14.99 in the stores. Seems this guy has gone around and bought out the stores and is selling them for $75.

It's true. People are price gouging on these Fingerlings. I saw a lot of people verbally attacking one poster because she was selling them for $50.00 each. I hope that everyone who bought an entire lot in a store gets stuck with them and are not able to make a profit off of a child's Christmas toy.

Overpriced at even $14.99. One more piece of Chinese produced plastic crap that'll end up in the waste stream.

Only 37,000 of them currently listed over on eBay and I am sure that Amazon has just as many listed. Be careful because there are a lot of fakes in this toy.

How's your Beanie Baby stock doing today?

We used to make finger puppets out of cloth scraps, tempera paint and papier mache. They could be any character we wanted. The kids got so much more out of the experience, planning, creating, naming and playing with them.

Is it the same guy who bought all the eclipse glasses selling for a dollar at Walmart (all of them, several hundred) and then resold them for 5 dollars?
Don't buy that junk.

Caveat emptor.. 'Let the buyer beware'.

If people are stupid enough to pay this kind of money, more power to him.

Good ole' yankee free market in action....

I agree with Jim. If people are willing to pay that much than more power to the seller. And if the seller gets stuck not being able to sell then he is so;. Free market, and unless stores put a limit on how many you can buy this will always happen. Remember those stupid Cabbage Patch Kids?

I think the Sheriff's Office needs to investigate this for so many reason. Price gouging, selling without a license. Selling one is one thing, but selling multiple of the same item you need a business license. They may be stolen. If he paid the going price for them then he is scalping them for higher prices. All of these scenarios is illegal.

Mike Lewis needs to know about this. Put a detective on it.

I just looked him up and he is no longer on that page. Someone tipped him off.
