I am sitting here in total disbelief. P-Lease, somebody explain this to me!
There have been 3 Dot U.B. Funkeys sold on Ebay in the past week or so. One had 48 bids that drove the final price up to $355. Another had 72 bids, driving the price up to $365.51, the third was sold as a "buy it now" for $360.
Come on now, we all know I love U.B. Funkeys, right? Writing this blog for over a year now, I like to play the games every once in a while, I get excited when it's time to hunt for the newly released Funkeys and there's a thrill to finding them.
BUT, PLEASE.........$350 or more to buy Dot? My jaw hit the floor, and it's still there.
I mean, Come on, even "Obsessed Funkey" thinks that's ridiculous and she's obsessed!
Uh, oh, was it you AkaAbbey that bought one of them? LOL. I think she already has one.
To put this in perspective a bit more, I figured out that $350 could buy you 56 Funkeys from Target at their price of about $5.99 plus tax. Target sells some Funkeys for less, and so does Walmart, but I'm taking the conservative approach to make my point. You can vote in my poll (see sidebar) to let everyone know what you think!
Okay, I know I need to let this go, but just one more thing.......I would like to ask these people who were bidding on the Dots once it got over $200:
~ You do realize it's just a piece of vinyl, right?
~ If you want to play Dot's game, you can buy a "familiar" for A WHOLE lot less (it may not be available right now, but I would think it will come back around soon)
~ Mattel should be releasing Dot to retail stores at some point.
~ You have to pay with REAL MONEY if you win the bids on Ebay. Okay, just checking to be sure you know that. It's not just virtual coins like in the game.
Maybe I am just missing something here. Please, someone explain it to me!
