eBay Resellers Cash In on Early MagicBand+ Release
You guessed it – eBay resellers are already cashing in on today’s erroneous release of Disney’s new MagicBand+! We’ll back up a bit to fill you in on the whole story if you’ve missed it, but first check out these items selling up to 4X their retail cost on the popular resale site!
To recap, this morning we were excited to share the news that the long awaited MagicBand+ had hit the shelves at Disney Springs! MickeyBlog was there to give you your first look at all three available styles!
It wasn’t long after though that we learned that these new MagicBands+ had been sold prematurely, with the remaining items pulled from shelves! Still, many eBay resellers had already purchased items and we immediately saw these coveted items hitting the site!
While the new MagicBand+ hit the shelves this morning retailing for $29.99, you can see them listed on eBay for as much as four times that cost, from $90 all the way to $120. One thing to note is that you must search the words “MagicBand Plus” to find them, the official MagicBand+ will not return the correct bands! Since they were pulled from shelves so quickly, there are not many available on eBay, and those that are available are selling fast.
This pricing proves the excitement of the market to get their hands on a brand new MagicBand+! Although it also reinforces our disgust with eBay resellers! Of course, the real irony of this story is that while the purchasers of these eBay MagicBand+s will have them in hand, they will still not be functional until the full rollout of features later this summer!
New MagicBand+ coming soon!
While this has been a crazy story for those of us excited to try the new MagicBand+, we are excited to have seen the design and price point and to know that no matter what, we don’t have that much longer to wait!
