Girl Scout Cookie Shortage Sparks Resale Market
This year’s new Girl Scout flavor Raspberry Rally, a raspberry-flavored version of the Thin Mint, sold out in hours, and fans are desperate to get their hands on them, and now they can, on eBay. The limited-edition cookie was only available online and typically sold for $4-$7 per box but is now being listed on sites like eBay for exorbitant prices. Boxes of cookies are showing up for upwards of $20 a box, including a listing for 12 boxes being sold for $499. The Girl Scouts of the USA said, “When cookies are purchased through a third-party seller, Girl Scout troops are deprived of proceeds that fund critical programming throughout the year.”
