What is so “special” about these TJ mini tote bags? (that’s making them viral?) [ or is this just some some “shady” person (or company) that’s artificially hyping them up, so they can can make a quick buck, by trying to monopolize the market, & then sell them online ]
Not fully sure! I think it is a mix between the “unique” miniature size of it, limited quantity and a few coincidental viral videos that had a lot of people all buy it at once and sell out which only fed the viral aspect and the resell market
@@ToriZienka I think it’s just a made up (artificial) FOMO hype, that attracts a bunch of (mostly ladies) into some sort of buying frenzy. I think the same thing happened with beanie babies and McDonald’s Cactus Plant Flea market toys. I once waited in the drive-through line at McDonald’s for over 20 minutes! two summers ago, while this (middle age) “Karen” was ordering 10 “adult happy” meals to get her CPFM toys. (& she would NOT pull over and wait for her order!) - I asked a couple of RU-vid creators, (who posted about this craze two summers ago) how much they’re worth today, and they said they’re worth about $5 each. If you’re buying the bag because you like it’s fine, but if you’re buying it as a collectible, I’m trying to monopolize the market, they’re wasting their time.
@@ToriZienka I think it’s more of an artificially hyped FOMO. & I think it mainly affects mostly females. I’ve seen the same thing happen with beanie babies, & recently with McDonald’s Cactus Plant Flea market toys. Just out of nowhere. All of a sudden they became popular. - & in the fall of 2022, I waited over 20 minutes at McDonald’s drive-thru, while some middle-age Karen was ordering 10 adult happy meals, that contained the CPFM toys, & she would not pull over to wait for her order. (it was a total nightmare) - I asked a couple YT creators of the CPFM videos, how much of the toys worth now and they all said about $5 to $10.
The craze over it shook me too! I just happened to be in the store and every color was stocked and no one was rushing to get them or buying a bunch like I saw in lots of videos!
