The year is 2024, and an unusual scene unfolds in the reselling realm, breaking away from the conventional limited sneaker releases. Picture this: resellers queuing up at 3 am, not for the latest exclusive kicks, but for the limited drop of Stanley x Starbucks cups. Yes, you read that correctly.
 

The Texas Target heist ends in madness as a man steals a tumbler

In a Target store in Cedar Hill, Texas, the release day took an unexpected turn. A mix of avid collectors and resellers gathered to snag the limited edition Stanley x Starbucks cups, numbering between 35 to 40 per store. However, one individual had different plans. Video footage captured a daring attempt as a man leaped over the Starbucks counter, grabbing the entire box of coveted tumblers. A courageous bystander blocked the exit, leading to a scuffle where two others managed to restrain the suspect. Despite the scuffle, the audacious thief managed to escape with one prized Stanley x Starbucks tumbler. The incident begs the question: is the world of reselling spiraling into the absurd?

Reflecting on the Stanley Galentines Day tumbler resell craze

As the Stanley tumbler phenomenon infiltrates the reselling arena, questions arise about its unlikely journey onto a platform traditionally reserved for sneakers. The escalating demand and resell prices prompt contemplation: will 2024 see a shift from reselling sneakers to reselling Stanley tumblers? Of course the answer is no, but it is very surprising to see a tumbler have more demand than Jordan 1's. It even crazier to see them resell for higher prices than Jordan 1's also. The peculiar intersection of tumblers and reselling continues to captivate attention in the reselling community because with every year, we just do not know what to expect. Anything will go, as long as there is a demand for it.
