Does anyone else feel like they’re getting over it
I only have 4 Stanley cups and I like them.
As much as I would like to get a nice bright pink cup, I am doubtful I'll ever find one at retail. So I am over it.
I refuse to wait on a line overnight at Target to then have to rush like a wild boar into the store and over to the display and grab one like an animal.
Now I read (on another thread) that the price is going up from $45 to $55 for the 40oz. I already felt $45 was a bit much, but I will not pay $55.
I can't fault a company for wanting to play the limited edition game, making certain colors very hard to get (yet somehow all the resellers seem to have a lot of them, what does that tell you), as it only drives interest. And I can't fault them for raising prices either, the craze for the cups will not last forever, so the company will get the money while they can......but I for one won't be paying it. No shade to those that will.
But I just wonder if anyone else is starting to feel a bit over it?
The Stanley Cup phenomenon has taken social media by storm, with avid fans showcasing their colorful collections and longing for limited edition releases. Many users have voiced their concerns about rising prices, especially with recent hikes from $45 to $55 for popular 40oz cups. The scarcity created by brands fuels the fervor, often leading to long lines at retail stores and significant competition among buyers. Collecting Stanley cups is not just a hobby for many; it has become a lifestyle that sparks discussions on various platforms, including forums like Lemon8. As some collectors express disappointment in not being able to secure sought-after colors, others claim they feel 'over it,' contemplating stepping back amidst ongoing price increases and limited availability. The release strategies employed by companies leverage exclusivity, creating a buzz that fuels demand. However, some voices in the community are prioritizing value over novelty, refusing to pay inflated prices. The conversation around the Stanley cup culture invites a broader discussion about consumer behavior and the role of marketing in creating trends that may not sustain long-term enjoyment.
