Years ago, the Ticket Me Elmo dolls were the hot Christmas gift, and nobody could find them. I happened to walk into Target after they had just set up a new display of their newly arrived shipment. I bought 10 them for about $30 each, and sold most of them for $150-200. The final one finally went for about $80 just before Christmas.
Pet rocks.
And every ridiculous “must have” Christmas toy craze.
Nowadays people spend their money on sensible crazes, like Stanley Mugs.
AKA “Big Dumb Cups”
In defense of pet rocks: the highest they were ever sold for was the modern equivalent of $24 and nobody was pretending they were worth more.

No, it’s the poor spell check version
