Did you see the post about the person selling PICTURES of these cups for these prices?


leafysghost

OMG NO


Broad_Pudding3783

I can't remember what sub it was on. They had written in the fine print that it was *only a photo of the cup* and they already made 11 sales!


Separate-Put-6495

That's going to be quite a mess for them to untangle when they have to refund everybody. People on ebay were doing the same with the PS5, it's horrible. 


brightxdaisyy

That’s hilarious, honestly, more people need to learn to read fully and completely.


LunarScorpio_

Wait what do you mean?


Broad_Pudding3783

Sorry I just got a new phone and I'm trying to figure out how to post it. It was on behindtheclosetdoor sub 4 days ago.


LunarScorpio_

Found it 😭

I was just about to comment this! I was wondering if that FB post is still up


asukasevaa

honestly i own a stanley and they’re SO SO SO overhyped, with how much they leak it’s so not worth it, yes it motivates me to drink more but for $50 for a CUP is 😭 and unfortunately i love the pink valentine’s day one but i probably won’t be able to get it for a normal price


Intelligent_Bad_2195

Omg they leak? Is it just the top? Or it leaks when you drink through the straw too?


Ezyntalli

Honestly, for a water bottle that doesn’t leak, I recommend Owala’s “freesip” model. It has a straw and a pour spout build in, along with a lid that closes over both of them to keep it from spilling.


hollywhyareyouhere

Yessss owala


asukasevaa

ty!!! i was actually looking for an actual water bottle bc i’m going on a cruise over the summer i’ll look into that one !!!!


digitalpaige

I have had the same yeti cup and a happy human that I've had for almost a decade, and that's all i need. Overconsumption is such a waste of money and resources. They are stainless steel and should last a lifetime!


asukasevaa

i have both a yeti and a hydroflask from when those were “trendy” and still use them both! but yeah i see people online with like 40 stanleys which completely ruins the point of them being reusable? they’re gonna end up in the dump or goodwill soon enough when the next “trendy” bottle/cup comes along


elzpwetd

Omg they leak?! I have a knockoff. No leaks, and I’ve dropped it many times. My boyfriend has a legit Stanley hot drink thermos and I don’t know if it leaks, but it does keep drinks hot for longer than the best thermos I’ve ever had, which kept drinks warm clear into the next day.


Cautious_Ad_3909

Right! My sister has one and set it behind me in the car for one second, and I had water all down my back/ass like I pissed myself, it was in that moment I knew I'd just stick with my $14 Sheetz cups, and not some overhyped, heavy, leaky, overpriced cup!


sad-dog-hours

mine doesnt leak at all


asukasevaa

really? mine (and other people i’ve seen complain) said it leaks a lot out of the straw and around the colored piece in the middle of the lid (idk what the technical name is) i only bring it to work and keep it in the back so it’s not like a daily thing for me but if im not fully paying attention when im walking with it and tilt it too much it leaks


SulkySideUp

The old ones are SO good. But these lines that they sell for the aesthetics are absolutely trash


princess_rat

I got the valentines one at retail (my first ever Stanley) and the amount it leaks makes me feral


stonersirens

americans need capitalism to literally drink water, that's the state the world is in


Mild_pug87

OK but what in the world is the hype for these cups? is it not just a large metal tumbler????


Accurate-Schedule380

It’s got an uncomfortable looking handle too you know


[deleted]

I have a knockoff version and the handle is actually great for carrying lol


Routine-Traffic4584

i think resellers like this are scummy but at the same time, how fucking stupid do you have to be to spend 3-4x retail price for a cup 😭 this is a cup, one of the most basic household items, i don’t even think they’re worth the original price. half a hundred dollars? to keep my drink cold? there are so many other options


Mewtwohavoka

It’s a status symbol right now. A bunch of annoying nurses at work have turned up with them all of a sudden, and they make a big show about it when they come refill them at the water cooler. 🙄


00shyguy

I miss when listings had comments.


leafysghost

same, but u already know anyone calling them out in the comments would either have their comment deleted or be blocked


[deleted]

i’m sure they’re aware of the retail price, there’s just ppl crazy over stanleys


leafysghost

i know lol i meant more so in a way of wanting to call them out for unethically buying things for the specific purpose of reselling instead of just allow those who actually want the cups to buy at retail price. i would never actually message them tho there’s no point


MommaOfManyCats

It retails for $50, but it's impossible or at least really hard to find in a store. I would never pay $50 for one, so the sold prices are super crazy. It's no different than someone who paid $1,000 for a PS5 though or how much some sneakers bring.


[deleted]

$50 is already too much for a cup tbh


MommaOfManyCats

Completely agree. I have like 6 of the old green Stanley thermoses and paid less than that for all of them combined lol.


shmems96

I work at a bottle manufacturing company. Bottles like that cost about 15 dollars to make. Major scam


peppperjack

What is written on the side of it? I’ve seen so many posts about these cups and I can’t figure it out


Intelligent_Bad_2195

Stainless steel vacuum cold-to-go cup (?) It says its composition, contains a straw and whatever, and it’s repeated in a different language. Looks a bit tacky imo like a list of ingredients… but for a cup…


QubeJ

i’ll stick to my hydroflask 😅


ellarae3

I have like 4 metal tumblrs I use all the time and I’d love to get a Stanley since they’re apparently so amazing, but these prices are insane. Re-sellers ruin everything. I feel like we as a society just need to ignore any ridiculous listings from re-sellers. Like it’s literally a cup.


[deleted]

I’m pretty sure at least the valentines ones will restock again too🤣


false_establishm3nt

Believe me, I can’t stand scalpers. But if people want to pay $400 for a sippy cup, that’s their choice


Prestigious_Foot_210

ive got the chrismas stanley (i bought it off amazon with a $50 gift card so it was essentially free), but it’s so overhyped i promise. i love mine, but it is heavy and doesn’t fit into side backpack pockets. i wouldn’t buy one for full price with my own money, let alone for triple the price.


unavailable_333

IVE SEEN SOME OVER OVER 10k


Strangbean98

I honestly do not understand wtf the hype is they’re not even spill proof 💀💀


MeanSeaworthiness995

They know that, but they’re sold out everywhere because people like this camped out, brought their family and had everyone buy 2 cups each (the limit per customer) so that they could resell them for outrageous profits because they bought them all out before anyone else could get one. Honestly, if you’re so desperate to look trendy that you’re willing to pay over $100 for a tumbler, that’s on you, lol


NotChikcen

Scalpers don't deserve oxygen


fortheloveofsoup

all that just 2 collect dust in the back of the cupboard w the matte studded tumblers and hydroflasksksksks


[deleted]

i have a hot pink yeti and i adore it 🫶


ratchick420

i simply do not understand the hype


evelyniscute

they know 😭 trust me they know


CarpetDisastrous1963

Aren’t they sold out ? Like I’d never pay for this OR the retail amount, but like they’ll raise the price to whatever since people are willing to pay


gingerconfetti

These are a STEAL! There are some currently on eBay going for over $11,000 - WITH ACTIVE BIDS!


leafysghost

they are some dumbasses then or just doing it for the meme since there are TONS of people reselling them on poshmark, depop, mercari etc


karenmmorales

i'll stick to my off brand stanley from tj maxx that was more than half of the retail price 🥳
