Why? Boots bought these for less than £27 and sold them for a lot more than £50+. Im sure plenty of genuine people with genuine kids wanted them. Did you complain then? No.

Shops buy and sell things all the time nobody cares, you or I do it and everybody loses their minds.

Disclaimer: I'm not doing it, just illustrating a point.

I agree

The point is...these people buy for the sake of it!! Yes shops have their mark ups we all know that.
But sticking 3 on Facebook the day after the sale is just pure cheek.
It's like saying to parents.....ahh haha I got one, u can have one if u pay double.

It's not buying it for the sake of it, it's usually buying it to make money and pay bills. Not everyone has a reliable income.
Yes it's not fair, but life isn't

In Bath they had loads of the Leap pad 2 and the innotab, best part was that the leap pad was showing on the shelf edge as £90 reduced to £45 and then was under the 70% off label so I questioned it with the floor manager! and he said it was 70% off the £45 so we all paid £13.50 and like wise with the Innotab it was showing as half price at £100 down to £50 and he made an error with his reductions and put it down as £35 with 70% off so we paid £10.50 for those , I had one of each and so did mum, for friends children's birthday presents, certainly not to sell on....

I accept fully that people buy stuff up and sell it on eBay to make an income.....as long as they are a business seller and pay tax on the income same as the rest of us mere mortals!!!!

Oh wow I was actually debating going to bath as went in the week end before and saw 3-4. Was worried it would be manic with a pushchair. Was it manic? Or civilised?

Many thanks

Agreed. It's annoying, but it's called business/entrepreneurship/life.
