The item in question is a mini canvas tote being sold for a limited time at Trader Joe\u2019s, that has skyrocketed in popularity. The bag, which comes in four colors: yellow, red, green and navy blue, is available in stores for $2.99. But they\u2019ve proven so popular that listings are appearing on sites such as eBay, and they\u2019re boasting astronomical price tags as high as $999.99 USD. Still, there are other resellers who aren\u2019t asking quite as high a figure, with one listing sets of three for $69.99 USD.
