I lost interest when I realised it is not a fridge (refrigerator) and it’s just a cooler. You can buy an actual refrigerator for this price.

I . . uh . . what??

Why the hell is there that kind of a demand for this kind of a product?

There's a sucker born every min in this world.
And as long as those suckers keep coming, scalpers are never going away.

I hope no one buys any of these from scalpers and they're forced to sell them in six months for half of what they paid. Actually I hope all scalpers die, but that's just wishful thinking.

Everyone dies. Everyone. So your wish will eventually be realized

I'm guessing it's a form of speculation as scalpers hope it's something that ends up becoming desired and that they made the right bet in stockpiling some to capitalize on a shortage. Maybe throw in some scarcity induced FOMO on top.

How many of these are purchased by dads planning to prank their kids this Christmas? 😆

LOL to the max. Scalpers "pounced" on a fridge that looks like an Xbox? Seriously?!🤣 So desperate to get something to flip.

Another interesting feature of these small novelty drink coolers, is that they also often use more electricity than a real fridge.

I mean, they couldn't have possibly made very many of these things.... Right?
