Pokémon scalpers are now targeting limited-edition Pop-Tarts, reselling them for high prices online. The Pop-Tarts, which feature Pikachu and other Pokémon on the box, are being sold for as high as $25 on eBay, despite retailing for around $3.
The Pokémon Company and Target recently released the limited-edition Pop-Tarts, which are standard Pop-Tart flavors but with special Pokémon packaging. However, scalpers have been buying them up and reselling them online, taking advantage of the demand from collectors and fans.
This is not the first time Pokémon scalpers have been in the news. Recently, a man was arrested for hiding in a Best Buy after hours to get an advantage in buying new Pokémon cards.
