The obsession with Stanley-branded beverage tumblers continues to grip the market. Despite the recent arrest of a woman accused of stealing $2,500 worth of these popular reusable cups, the demand for them remains frenzied, as revealed by NBC News.
eBay: A Hotspot for Stanley Cup Resellers
On eBay, the bidding war for these coveted tumblers is still ongoing. Take, for example, the “Adventure Quencher Tumbler Parfait Pearlescent,” which had a staggering 59 bids. The price for this item reached an astonishing $375. Another edition, the “Pink Parade,” also attracted significant attention, with 51 bids that topped out at $147.50. Clearly, these cups are worth a pretty penny.
Facebook Marketplace: A Reseller’s Haven
Not only is eBay a hub for these resellers, but Facebook Marketplace also proves to be a prime platform for selling Stanley cups. Hundreds of listings can be found, indicating that the secondhand market for these tumblers is thriving. However, buyers should exercise caution, as it is highly likely that some of these cups are of questionable origin, just like the ones stolen in California.
The Better Business Bureau’s Warning
The Better Business Bureau has already issued a warning regarding Stanley cups being sold at prices that seem too good to be true. It’s essential for buyers to be vigilant and avoid falling for scams or counterfeit products.
Retailers Taking Action
One retailer, Academy Sports + Outdoors, has taken note of the situation. Customers seeking to purchase a lid for a Stanley cup are now required to go to the customer service desk. This change indicates that retailers are becoming aware of the problem and taking measures to address it.
F5 Magazine is closely monitoring the situation and has reached out to Academy Sports + Outdoors, along with Dick’s Sporting Goods and Target, for additional comments. Stay tuned for updates.
