I'm having a hard time dealing with the fact that people are re-selling the ghost Mickey popcorn buckets for profit on ebay..... discuss
I don't care for the idea either! - Calypso

I don't see the point, how much are you really gonna make? $20? Leave them in the parks for the people who really want them! - KelBelle
452.8 #271 9:05PM
Agreed! I can't believe someone would spend $30 on a plastic bucket either. - CravingDisney
150.1 #2289 9:06PM
Me either. - BillE
340.7 #428 9:06PM
I'm not for it. Plenty of people here want them. Pay it forward!!! - CharLovey

They may make a few bucks, but it does not seem worth all the effort to have to pack it, ship it etc... - DesperateMousewife

Crooks! (()) - WickedWench

It's for people who live in another state and can't come over to buy them. - DisneyAPpass

When I look at those eight little black eyes staring at me - how could I ever do that? - PrinceCorey
4242.2 #6 9:10PM
I think its such a bummer. I guess not everyone appreciates the magic like we do! They're probably only making 10 bucks plus whatever else they can scrape together out of the shipping fees... - michelledork
658.3 #159 9:10PM
That's the American way. Make a profit on anything. - gratefull
32.1 #4269 9:11PM
Awe that's nice of you but we have plenty of MWs outta state I'm sure would love this!!!! Tell em to paypal you if u want to get your money back... Just a suggestion! eBay takes so long for an auction to end - rachyboo
72.7 #3363 9:12PM
I've been thinking the same thing. I want to be able to walk in the park and buy one for my son so we can enjoy the popcorn together (and I can tell him about how "mama used to make popcorn for Mickey Mouse"). When they sell out because people are buying "31" one of them, it makes me sad. Saying that, DL needs to do better with their supplies, like have a focus group on MW determine if something is going to be "hot or not." "Up" grape soda pins? Hot. Duffy the cute but generic bear? Not. - Polkadobo
372.1 #370 9:13PM
I'm not just selling to anyone. I'm selling to someone who really wants it out-of-state; I'm also giving one away on Sunday for MW anniversary. How is that not good? - DisneyAPpass
38.8 #4027 9:15PM
lol @ "duffy the cute generic bear" - michelledork
658.3 #159 9:18PM
I think putting them up for out of state people is great... but not for $12 more than what it cost in the park plus shipping. Selling for $9.95 + shipping is what should be happening, but its not. - michelledork
658.3 #159 9:20PM
Disney AP.. I'm more talking about the people who go in and buy a ton strictly to make a profit. - Calypso
812.9 #113 9:20PM
After eBay gets their fee, you're not going to make squat. - John
312.0 #547 9:22PM
It's been happening since the first day they were sold, which was Sept. 17 - BaseballMickey_CM
2827.7 #16 9:22PM
If I had one, id keep it. If people wanna sell it to make a profit, I really dont mind. But if someones gonna go and buy like, alot, just for selling, then its kinda disappointing. Because there couldda been like, 5 more people who could buy buckets because they love them, not because they want to sell them. - DisneyBaby
7.9 #7628 9:23PM
DisneyAp if you can sell one to someone out of state and it pays for you to give one away in the MW community I say go for it. - YTheRum
2072.7 #33 9:24PM
I agree with Rum! - PrettyPixie
759.2 #132 9:26PM
I just think it sucks when people sell them for 3x the price at DL! - KelBelle
452.8 #271 9:31PM
Easy money. I have a annual pass, live 3 miles away, and go 3 times a week. I have shipping supplies at work. I can pay for my annual pass. - Leatherneck
7.6 #7787 9:42PM
i think it sucks because we go for the fun and magic a my two girls want one but there sold out mean while someones making 3x off of it not cool boo - i-airbrush-Disney
40.9 #3967 9:58PM
Thanks guy that's exactly what I'm doing. I'm kinda broke but I really wanted to help people out w/ the buckets. I only want a MW to win the bid so I can give one away for free. ^_ - DisneyAPpass
38.8 #4027 10:07PM
I don't see a problem with selling a few to make up for money spent at the park or to pay for the bucket you bought just don't believe in buying more than 5 for resale you gotta remember Disney does the same thing to us with food and drinks $4 for a little simply orange juice is outrageous - Vinnymation
164.6 #2092 10:08PM
I'm glad someone brought this up because I don't plan on bidding on eBay. I think it's all well and good to make a profit on stuff, but people on here have been pining away with all the pictures. I feel stuck back in the tickle me Elmo rush when some woman told me I could have one for $100 and she had just paid $20. There have been so many examples of Disney magic on here (thank you again Marieezy) that this bucket selling thing kind of bothers me. - Missshelly
690.3 #147 10:08PM
lmao missshelly or the furbees - Kittymeowmeow
271.3 #815 10:17PM
You can't control who wins your bid so you have no sayso on whether it is a MW'r or not. And if it is really about the MW'rs who are out of town then post them here and not ebay. There are so many here that want them I am sure no one expects them for free and would be more than happy to pay a reasonable price (for the person's time) and shipping to have one. Putting it on ebay is not about MW in anyway. It is about making a profit. - SupremeLeader
393.9 #339 10:18PM
I love my popcorn bucket, I just need to figure out what to do with it. - mstiauna27
89.3 #3153 10:19PM
Oh I forgot about Furbees! Creepy little things. Lol - Missshelly
690.3 #147 10:22PM
Oh dear. I think perhaps some people like the buyer/seller protection offered by going through eBay. Granted, we may feel like we know each other, but based on recent events, how well do we truly know who is on the other end? Personally, I already bought one for myself when they came out. I offered to buy some for mw'ers about a month ago, for cost plus shipping. Some people replied and I bought those buckets for them, and no, I'm not making them bid on eBay for them. Didn't mean to upset anyone with pictures of buckets. :( - bluefairy
627.1 #174 10:36PM
bluefairy, will you be going back again? - DisneylandFan2
427.2 #296 10:42PM
It is possible. I may go on Sunday. If not, maybe sometime next week. - bluefairy
627.1 #174 10:55PM
I was wondering, if possible, could you pick me up a bucket please? They were out when I was just there and I wont be going back until November. - DisneylandFan2
427.2 #296 10:57PM
Let's take this off mw, my email is theblueforest[@]hotmail[dot]com. Basically, if I have any extra or can get more, I will make them available to mw'ers. - bluefairy
627.1 #174 11:15PM
This is how a free market works..Its supply and demand...Disney buys them for .25 each, they sell them to us for 10.00, 9.75 profit..AP buyer, 10.00, Somebody in BFE who loves Disney sees it, cant get to disneyland has too have it, starting bid 12.00 final bidding price maybe around 35.00 plus shipping....This is the USA not the USSR...I think its pretty cool that so many MWERS are buying them and giving them to others who cant get to the parks but the market for Disney stuff is crazy esp on ebay..Im sure you could go on there and the free maps they gave out for the 55th will be pulling in money..It is what it is...Maybe Disneyland should put it limit on them like they do other limted editon items for this reason - Dave
8637.0 #2 11:47PM
Dave I totally understand. I had to buy the 55 map because I wasn't anywhere the park that day. It sucked but at least I was able to get one. - DisneyAPpass
38.8 #4027 12:50AM
I know!! I want one but everytime I've gone they have been sold out! - Briana
225.7 #1293 1:23AM
This is like the Jessica pins on disneystore.com. The LE 250 Jessica costume pins sold out within hrs of being released in the middle of the night last week. People bought them for $15 and they are on ebay for $40, $45, even $60!!! It's one thing to buy a pin you don't want for a good trader, quite another to get one to be greedy and make a large profit. Heck, there's one that's not even sold out on Disney's website yet that is going for $20 when they can get it from Disney for $15. To me that's just not right or Disney-like - TickledTink
352.8 #406 8:11AM
it just greedy.. - GoofyJoe
1864.1 #41 6:47PM
People thought this way when I was in the dream fastpass business. In this economy, it's necessary to seize the opportunity. - BCC
4640.6 #5 7:23PM
Dave hit the nail on the head! We all love Disney and have this grand vision of what Walt wanted his park/ company to be, but bottom line is the Disney co. Is about PROFIT. free market capitalism is what America is all about. I would gladly pay a industrious MWer a fair price for one of these buckets for my wife, she wants one so badly. (rant off) - connielu
672.2 #153 7:35PM
I have some going on eBay right now - BCC
4640.6 #5 7:42PM
those are such cute buckets, can you buy them tomorrow at Disneyland? where do they sell them there, everywhere? or just in a certain store? - Aahcapella
25.6 #4609 7:43PM
@connielu. Please text me later with your email, I've got a surprise for u. - Ht
614.0 #177 8:26PM
Done! (the anticipation is killing me!) - connielu
672.2 #153 8:32PM
@Aahcapella you can get them at the popcorn stands. That is if there are any left. Good luck friend. - PrettyPixie
759.2 #132 8:33PM
Welcome to America - JohnnyFairfax
26.5 #4553 8:41PM
thanks prettie! I hadn't noticed them the last two weekends, maybe they were sold out by evening time. - Aahcapella
25.6 #4609 8:42PM
What about for the people out of the area who would gladly pay for than the value for something they can't get on their own? - Jessica
325.7 #497 8:45PM
There were a lot today when I was there. I was lucky and got one and also got some great fresh caramel corn!! - LilSterner
2656.0 #17 9:10PM
I'd be happy to pick some up for other MWers for the cost plus shipping if I end up at the parks tomorrow. I'll post and let people know. - LilSterner
2656.0 #17 9:13PM
Let me know! I've looked on eBay and they are all going for $30. - Missshelly
690.3 #147 9:30PM
That is so nice of you Lilsterner. I can't make it tomorrow and all I could do was cry. So frustrated. Not sure I will be able to make it up before they are all sold out again. I will watch for your posts just in case. The last one I looked at on ebay a few minutes ago was $26 plus $25 for shipping. :( - SupremeLeader
393.9 #339 10:18PM
$25 for shipping??? I've sent messages to everyone I promised, so we will see if there are any left for others. - bluefairy
627.1 #174 12:12AM
Yea bluefairy. My husband said just buy one because I was so upset about not being able to make it up there. But, I just couldn't. I saw more the other day but could only find 1 tonight. Also, not everyone has text so they may not be able to get your message. - SupremeLeader
393.9 #339 1:00AM
Jerks are greedy. :(. - Autobot1978
