If you wish to strive the latest addition to the Woman Scout cookie lineup, you’ll have to move to eBay
EBAY,
— and pay as a lot as $50 a field.
The Raspberry Rally cookie, which was launched this 12 months as a part of the annual Woman Scouts cookie drive, has certainly been a sizzling vendor. The cookie was offered by the Woman Scouts solely on-line, however if you happen to test the ordering platforms for many scout troops, you’ll discover it’s not out there.
Therefore, some eBay sellers have stepped in to fill the Raspberry Rally void…at a worth.
“Laborious to seek out,” mentioned one vendor providing two packing containers for $100.
“Offered out on-line,” mentioned one other vendor, who’s hawking 10 packing containers for $220, which quantities to $22 per field.
The packing containers usually go for $5 apiece, based on the scout ordering platforms.
The Woman Scouts didn’t instantly reply to a MarketWatch request for remark.
This isn’t the one cookie problem this 12 months. Some troops have run low on Samoas, a longtime fixture within the scout cookie lineup.
All this has led to consternation amongst cookie followers. As one tweeted, “Woman Scout Cookie shortages are NOT THE FUTURE I WAS PROMISED.”
