Bloody jellycat teabag

I love Jellycats but the tea bag is poorly designed and a bit shite.

I dont think the op will find one for £25.
I seen the teabag locally for £39.

So they vary in price ? @Teasforfears wanted one for £25 And in the shop @AngeloMysterioso found it was £35 is that right ?

wrong for shops to sell at Diff price but guess that’s sell and demand

the Vinted buyer actually would have paid more as has the extra on top of protection or whatever Vinted call it

guess could have sent it second class so be more like £2.9/3.00

either Way a nice thing to do to get two @AngeloMysterioso and glad not out of pocket yourself

@Teasforfears Hope you find one for £25

*Winterflowers6 *Albie Bee is now in stock on the JC website 🐝 🐝 !! (as of 10am this am).

Oh the irony….! Jellycat do an Amusables Popcorn.
It’s out of stock.

It's such a shame this thread has ended this way. I guess sometimes doing a good turn for others can end up with a pain in your own ass.

I bought two of these on Monday - one for OP and one as a gift for my MIL who saw mine and thought it was adorable.

I asked OP for £35 (plus postage - first class small parcel is £5.09) which as you can see from the pictures is how much I paid. I didn’t ask for a single penny more than that. I was unaware of how much the RRP was…

OP asked to see a pic of the receipt, I asked for her email address as I couldn’t work out how to attach a photo in PMs and she then ignored my messages until I replied to her in this thread this morning.

For anyone who’s interested, I stuck it on Vinted after not hearing from OP - again, for the amount I paid - and it sold in less than half an hour. Buyer messaged me to say she was thrilled to find one that was fairly priced!

I look forward to your apologies for the shitty profiteering accusations, whenever you’re ready @Teasforfears@SkinnyOatFlatWhiteForMePlease

There are a LOT of fakes around!

@Teasforfears, I seen the teabag jellycat in a local shop but it was £39 .
Maybe they vary in price??

Some posters say not to buy into the hype.

Other posters call them mean and joyless.

The former wasn't always worded quite as rationally and politely as that. There were a fair few aggressively rude people posting!

OP posts about profiteering and artificial scarcity.

One poster comes to the rescue and gets one of these toys for OP. Praise and "aw how lovelys" follow.

OP says they're trying to sell it to her for £10 over the RRP.

This thread is absolutely mad 😂

I'm guessing she calls her children sweetheart, pickle and spud

The op’s whole point was around profiteering and creating scarcity though…..

Was she a war baby? Could it be that as part of it (obv. there may be other issues too) my Mom was the same and she has given it to me too. I’m trying really really hard not to pass the same problem on to my kids. We were all brought up with those issues about food too (can’t leave anything on your plates and so on)

Maybe certain people on this thread would like to start one on Capitalism instead? They could fun sponge to their hearts content on there

I think it’s fair enough to have a discussion about capitalism and how ethical it is for a company to behave like this.

What is unpalatable is your vitriol to those who want to buy this toy and your sneering at someone who was trying to help the OP out. Completely unnecessary and distracting from the issue you apparently are concerned about. You have been pointlessly unpleasant and personal when you could have discussed it without condescending sarcasm. Maybe you cooks own that.

Selling it for a profit isn’t exactly doing @Teasforfearsa favour. Profiteering on these things is just shitty. Our local shop were above RRP and the price increased between the first delivery £27 to second delivery £29.

I’ve raised this point multiple times on the thread. Jellycat are well known to have ethical issues with their business practices - including what they did to small independents earlier this year. As well as the enforced scarcity discussed on this thread.

I have no idea what the second half of your post is about it didn’t seem to make much sense. Who smells of poo? If you are suggesting I target influencers (who I don’t follow) to be mean then, no, I don’t. And that’s a very different kettle of fish to raising issues of unethical business practices.

Here we go with the "I just have genuine concerns about ethical business practices..." crap that always gets trotted out to hide behind on these types of threads lol.
Bigots get "I just have valid and reasonable concerns, honest..."
Bloggers /IGers get " I'm just concerned they're not displaying their adverts properly, honest" ...
When if they're left to it for 5 minutes it becomes clear that all they want to say is stuff like "yeah but I bet she smells of poo" and "have you seen her hair today, what does she think she looks like?!" in peace
Now we have a jelly cat and cuddly toy version 😁

Claiming jealousy if someone has a different opinion to you is a lazy trope.

I have also specified a number of times, I have no issues with collecting teddies or toys but I do have issues with unethical business practices like Jellycat have. If you disagree with that use proper adult words to debate instead of being ridiculous

@Teasforfearssince you haven’t answered my message I’ll assume you don’t want it now ☹️ that’ll teach me not to do nice things for strangers! Will stick it on Vinted
