OK I usually am a mellow guy and a hard core capitalist but this get my goat.
I have a big beef with hello kitty gouging on Ebay. For example
SANRIO BUILD A BEAR x HELLO KITTY PLUSH DOLL RARE! BIG
First somting wrong flag is call somthing rare when it is not. One can find the same bear at Buld a Bear for $22.00
This not to say one can not find good Hello Kitty deals on Ebay but the buyer need to beware of Knock-off and ripoffs.
It starts with a teddy bear I just want to know how it felt sleeping with a stuffed toy again. The only problem all my bears are guys Then became a fan of the cute one. It has been two years and no sign of stopping. It started with one 18in Hello Kitty plush I got here from ebay but became matty when I found out they do not machine-wash. The I got a replacement (second form the left) then more from eBay or garage sales (the two and first from the left). The two the right, I have two of each, on to cuddle and one on the collection shelf.
Recently I learned there is no cure; I might need a bigger bed.
Not shown: if I cannot take the one second on the right traveling (no room in the suitcase), I do have a small Build a Bear plush. I plan to get one of the large sleeping Hello Kitty plush. She can be compacted to fit in a suitcase.
ps. there are others, it a furry thing.
