Anybody hear about the The 7 Line Mets Home Run Apple Pom Pom Cap? The company made an extremely teeny tiny limited number of those caps, which sold out in minutes. Now they're selling on ebay for hundreds of dollars. One seller (link below) is asking almost $600 for his/hers.

These are seriously fucking amazing, and I tried to get one when they first went on sale but they sold out immediately. I read that they'll have more later in the winter.

So why are people paying hundreds for that cap? They can't wait a little more?

Because some people are dumb. Or missed Darren's tweet.

Did you try and buy one online? Because I think I read that the only way to have successfully gotten one was to personally go to their physical location. I read that people formed a line hours before the doors opened.

They had them online a few weeks ago -- and sold out immediately -- and said they held 150 back for their warehouse sale, selling them two per person that morning.

I see. I missed the part about the caps first selling out online. Jeez, these caps are like Led Zeppelin concert tickets from the mid-70's with the selling out and the demand and the scalping.

I said "that's cool, I want one" and underestimated the demand. Oops.

They are probably getting snapped up as gifts. I'll bet you can get them later

They're cute, but not $600 cute.

Scalping hats. There's a good pun in there somewhere.

I love that hat. I'd happily shovel snow in that hat.

$600!?!?!

I'll make myself one.
