My mom works at a store and a customer came in and started at check-out bragging to my mom about how she got a Spectra and how she'll sell her for 500 dollars and go on vacation with the money from her.
Mom knows my hunt for Spectra is still on even though I'm saving up for my BBB girl and she even knows what the doll is called and my mom told her this: "You remember the beanie baby craze?" Everyone who's buying up Abbey and Spectra and thinking they'll make a killing off these dolls are going to find themselves with a lot of dolls giving them The Stare when Abbey and Spectra are in abundance.
That is so dumb. She's not going for that much on ebay right now or ever. I don't have a job right now, so that is what I do, I keep track of new toys that are coming out try to find them at the stores when they stock. No, I'm not a scalper. I put them up on ebay for a little bit more than what I payed for them and the bidders jack up the price themselves. Last week I sold a Spectra for $28, and that was high for then. Spectra's value has decreased a lot. Abbey is going for almost twice of what she is in the store. The Abbey I've got on ebay has 15+ on it, and it's at $36.
Back when I could find lalaloopsy's they were going for $50 - $70 depending on which one. All I can ever find is Dot now though...
And when the Wii U comes out, I'm going to be waiting in line for that thing so I can sell it on ebay. xD
[EDIT:] oh, keep looking for Spectra, I've been finding her every time I go to the store. Our TRU down here has a large display of Monsters and most of the Walmarts do too. She'll turn up.
