Ok, this one just makes me laugh. The product may be great, but the commercial is ridiculous. My 12 year old son and I laugh at the family wearing these to a football game. Come on, get real. No 12 year old kid is going to go anywhere with that thing on - he'd get beat up.
The commercial says you get two Snuggie blankets for $19.99. (So that would be about 10 each plus shipping.) These are selling on eBay for an average of $20 each. Some sellers are profiting on the shipping, charging $24 or more. This item does NOT cost $24 to ship!
The week before Christmas, they were selling for over $100 each. The issue was shipping time: If you ordered it through the 1-800 number or online, it took 4-6 weeks to ship. Some smart eBay sellers bought them ahead of time and had them on hand to sell to the highest bidder. (This tip was announced on my Facebook group back in December.)

Happy Selling,
rarsSuzanne, every time the commercial would come on, our family would laugh hysterically at the people in the football stands.
ReplyDeleteOne of my husband's family members gave me a Snuggie "wannabe" for Christmas-in my favorite color purple. It is now listed on eBay..but with the keyword/name of snuggler. Probably won't get quite the same hits as the "seen on tv" snuggie...lol.
don't you think they make the men look like monks
ReplyDeletethe two best infomercial products ever have to the Snuggie and the Shamwow... i wonder if it's possible to combine the two, and make a single, super-absorbent robe?
