Why are people buying Moz plush on Ebay

Moz the Monster plush toy came out yesterday in John Lewis and is available online and instore yet people are buying them on Ebay for more than RRP - why?!

  • Possibly because a lot of people still have the "it's on ebay so it must be a bargain" mindset.
    This may well have been true when ebay first started out and whilst it's certainly the case that there are still some good deals to be had, these are getting fewer and fewer.

    Because people are stupid and easily fall for an obvious marketing ploy.

    Same reason they are paying vastly over the odds for Jo Malone's advent calendar - either they can't be bothered to look on the official website and see it is readily available, or they make the daft assumption that all items ebay are at bargain prices...
