WHAT? It's all about THE EGG. It was selling on eBAY for over $200, even if it retailed for $60 last month. Today, now that 11,000 of them are on the site, the price has gone down to a more reasonable $100 average.
I'F I'M BEING HONEST, I had no idea that this year, there's some "MUST HAVE" toy that brats are pestering their scummy
I assume this mechanical "hatching egg" is a variation on past crazes like the Furby. The Furby would say more things the more you touched it, rubbed it, and stuck a finger up its ass. The gimmick here is that the more you "play" with the egg, the quicker it will hatch, and reveal some stupid collectible BIRD inside.
Jesus Fucking Christ. This is a MUST HAVE?
The other night, Jimmy Kimmel explained this phenomenon, with many a snicker. That was the first I heard of it. Then today...the news that a twat named Sara Gruen got stuck being a greedhead.
A "best selling author" (thanks to ONE book), she decided to buy a ton of these stupid things on EBAY, figuring to wait a week or two, and re-SELL on eBay for a higher profit.

That's quite a fucking gamble. Any experienced seller knows that any time something starts selling, there's HUGE COMPETITION. For example, when Obama became President, tyros ran out and bought up every copy of the NY Times or Chicago Tribute or Washington Post, ready to sell the historic morning edition for five times the list price. Sorry. THOUSANDS of sellers had the same idea, and within hours, the site was so flooded with newspapers, sellers could hardly break even.
The gamble here took an unexpected turn: EBAY decided to put a cap on the number of items any seller could offer. AMAZING.

Why in the world would EBAY limit the number of these stupid toys a seller can sell? Sympathy for the manufacturer, who let 'em go for about $40 wholesale?
Actual MORALITY about holding up parents by scalping toys at a huge profit?
How nice that this stupid twat Sara Gruen has had to go Network on Farcebook and push her crap on her own fucking website...and toss in signed (worthless) copies of her book to entice people.
How CLEVER of the preening bitch to use her publicist and her wiles to make a news story out of "Greedy Cunt Needs to Alert People Via the Media That She's Selling Shit On Her Website."
A surprise twist is that SOME people are NOT buying, because they don't like Greedy Sara Gruen's antics. No, they don't like her greed, any more than they like scalpers who grab up all the good seats and don't let anyone else have a fair chance.

Speaking of TYPOS, Sara Greedy Gruen's stupid fucking book "LATER" became a movie, not "ALTER."
This situation reminds me a bit of what happened after 9/11. As soon as the buildings came crashing down, EBAY parasites and maggots began putting up 9/11 memorabilia. They hawked "souvenir" NYC newspapers with the day's blaring headlines. They sold World Trade Center post cards and statues. And...eBay, in another rare show of morality, began shutting that shit down.
They created a new rule: sellers could NOT sell 9/11 or World Trade Center items UNLESS all the money went to charity.
Funny, they don't seem to mind the maggots who sell "R.I.P." buttons and dupe photos the moment a celebrity dies. They are usually thrilled to death if something happens that causes people to suddenly want some previously worthless product. It's truly remarkable that eBay (and its twisted sister Paypal) are willing to lose the percentage on inflated prices for a stupid toy that kids will forget about a day after they (and Eat and Lick Her Horst) open the package.
What's much more amusing is that greedy Sara Gruen is continuing to find fewer and fewer "nice comments" on Farcebook, and more and more people disgusted with her, AND with parents who can't just tell brats "no, you're NOT getting this stupid toy. You can't always get what you want, Mick."
Clever Sara, however, figures that no publicity is bad publicity, so she's been telling the world how mean people are, and how it's "insanity" that is driving people to say bad things about her. This includes rival sellers who point out that she's been over-charging on the eggs, and that for quite a while now, the average price has been NOWHERE NEAR what she charges on her website.
Here's hoping there will be no more publicity for this stupid toy or for Greedhead Sara Gruen, worst-smelling author.
