And then the stuff gets thrown away. And it's people like that that waste perfectly good product, and are the reason for increased prices and limited production.I feel the same way about some of the items, but I would rather spare myself the potential regret. hehe. You can always buy, sit on them for a few days and return what you don't want.
I could see the validity of what comes off as a crass and demeaning comment had I suggested that she or anyone purchase items they had absolutely no interest in or even for the sole purpose of collecting, or an investment they could later profit from due to it's high demand and limited quantity. Let me clarify my viewpoint on what I thought was an otherwise simple and friendly suggestion to a mutual makeup lover who was undecided on a purchase that she was drawn to. Being that this is a limited edition collection and released as such for the sole purpose of making a profit off of the hype and the fact that eBay, as you mentioned, has increased that hype by who knows what, due to internet scouts grabbing up the items availability for no other reason then to flip for profit from the consumer, I suggested that if she was undecided that she go ahead and purchase only from the standpoint that in my experience I have regretted passing up an item in the past that I was undecided about. Thus leaving me to then seek the product from such venues as you suggested, at unreasonable markups. Normally in a situation where time is not of the essence so to speak, and a consumer has an attraction to an item but is apprehensive over the shade/texture whatever, they could obviously try it out in the stores and decide. But in this case it is likely to sell out within hours both online and in stores, bringing me to the conclusion of my previous comment. I don't see why anyone would discourage any fellow makeup lover from purchasing a product to try who more likely then not, will end up absolutely loving it.To throw my two cents into the mix, when you do stuff like that, not only does it deplete the items that would have been available for someone who truly wants it, but also wasting a perfectly good item for nothing. If you are take it a step further, it!s possibly driving up sales for the eBay sellers. They will love you for it.
It was not my intent to ruffle any feathers over what I thought was an innocent suggestion. I definitely would've appreciated polite feedback or alternate suggestions rather than the slightly demeaning responses.And then the stuff gets thrown away.

Don't worry @Gellydonut I understand where you're coming fromI could see the validity of what comes off as a crass and demeaning comment had I suggested that she or anyone purchase items they had absolutely no interest in or even for the sole purpose of collecting, or an investment they could later profit from due to it's high demand and limited quantity.
