Saw on the news that a eBay listing of Rare Furry Simba ended up selling for $100k (yes you read that correct). Have we gone all mad for these plastic things or what! There were others recently sold for $8-10k but apparently the one sold for $100k is numbered 100/100.
Some people on Facebook posted comments about it was a marketing ploy by Woolworths (to take a jab at Coles competing Little Shop 2). So Woolworths sells and buys it (paying 10% eBay fees) to have national news about it. This gets customers into the stores to buy extra unnecessary groceries in the hunt for that rare furry Simba.
What’s your take everyone? If all is legit imagine how much 1/100 is worth! But who knows in today’s word of social media and advertising.
of course its real, but the person selling it has probably spent tens of thousands on grogeries to try and secure it. Look at some of the mums facebooks pages with people saying which items o buy to maximise ooshie numbers.
Have seen people constantly buying 5x soaps etc everyday for the past week or so justifying it by saying things along the line of we use it anyway and now have 5 years supply.
