Viral News Snippet: Miffy + Starbucks Collab: Resellers Are Making $500—But Are You Getting Scammed?

So you thought you were finally going to snag that adorable Miffy x Starbucks tumblr? Think again—unless you’re ready to pay triple.

The limited-edition collab—featuring Miffy peeking out from a coffee cup—dropped over the weekend, and within hours, shelves were bare. But here’s the part that will hit your wallet: resellers have already flooded eBay, Facebook Marketplace, and Depop—listing the $25 tumblrs for $100–$200, and the plush cups for up to $500.

But here’s the eyebrow-raising twist: Some of these “rare” cups aren’t even real. Buyers are reporting counterfeit Miffy merch popping up, with sloppy stitching and wrong colors. You pay $150, you get a knockoff that looks like Miffy had one too many espressos.

What this means for you: If you’re a collector, you’re now forced to either fight bots online, pay a scalper (and risk a fake), or just miss out. Starbucks hasn’t announced a restock, and industry insiders say this drop was intentionally tiny.

Wise up: Don’t buy from anyone who won’t show a real receipt. Use PayPal Goods & Services for buyer protection. And maybe—just maybe—save your $500 for rent. Because in this economy? A bunny-shaped plastic cup shouldn’t cost more than your car insurance.
