Customers pay over $150 for picture of pink Stanley cup TikTok: suszii3The demand for the coveted pink Stanley cup has seen several people being duped into paying $150 \u2013 for a picture of the product. Despite only being released in January, the illustrious pink Stanley cups are undoubtedly the most prized items of the year so far. People have been clamoring to get their hands on one, leading to insane resale prices on eBay. Unfortunately, however, scammers are now trying to sell the coveted pink Stanley cups under false pretenses. One eBay listing showed a photo of a pink Stanley cup, but what many didn\u2019t realize after purchasing the product, is that they wouldn\u2019t actually be receiving the order they expected. The item\u2019s description from the seller reads, \u201cStarbucks \u00d7 Stanley (Pink) \u00a940oz Limited Edition Cup.\u201d \u201cThis was extremely popular and off the shelves in seconds to minutes. The prices are skyrocketing to above $300. But we all can\u2019t afford a $300 cup So why not get the next best thing to it, a picture! Yes! A picture of this stunning cup with free shipping. This is only \u203a photo of the cup on 11\u00d78 printer paper. You won\u2019t regret purchasing a photo of a beauty like this.\u201d People angered by eBay seller\u2019s Stanley cup trick After the listing was posted, several people on Reddit were \u2018disgusted\u2019 by the tactic used by the seller. \u201cThat\u2019s legit the most disgusting seller I have ever seen,\u201d one user wrote. To which another replied: \u201cNothing new. I remember 10+ years ago sellers selling empty Wii and Xbox 360 boxes for hundreds of dollars.\u201d One had some insight on such scams, stating: \u201cMy cousin (who is now 36) used to do something like this with iPhone boxes. He\u2019d sell on eBay and make it look like buyers were receiving an iPhone, but the description outlined it was only a box. He made hundreds of dollars every single time he did this. He got his buddies in on it and he\u2019d buy their boxes when they got new phones. It took a really long time for him to be shut down by eBay.\u201d Some, however, felt the blame lay at the hands of the buyer: \u201cIf you\u2019re gonna pay $300 for a CUP\u2026.. yeah you kinda deserve this,\u201d one said unabashedly. \u201cI mean it\u2019s on you\u2026.if you can\u2019t read,\u201d another concurred. One thought that the blame lay on both ends, stating \u201cPeople need to do a better job of reading but this seller is a scammer targeting people who are excited or have low literacy or are vulnerable to scams for a variety of reasons.\u201d Avoid the fuss and pick up your own Stanley cup from the official site: If you click on a product link on this page we may earn a small affiliate commission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
