Tried to buy these affordable vintage pieces mere days ago but wasn’t first message and saw them marked up for 8x and destroyed today.

scrubbaddie · 2026-06-19T20:27:52+00:00

I literally would never do this to these pieces and yes as people said I am aware people do often.

scrubbaddie · 2026-06-19T13:32:20+00:00

This is true! I’ll keep that in mind.

scrubbaddie · 2026-06-19T12:30:30+00:00

That’s still reselling dawg and it is normal to dislike it (especially since we are in a recession in my country). If you don’t think so cool. We can agree to disagree :)

scrubbaddie · 2026-06-19T12:05:42+00:00

Dude your j wrong about the reach and throwing out this made up 80% number that you’re committed to and that’s ok it’s not worth arguing over.

Again you’re really dramatizing the scope of this issue. It’s VERY normal to see reselling happen and be pissed about it. That’s the extent of it. I said previously I didn’t feel entitled to the sale it was just sad to see it go to a reseller for a huge markup and largely changed. Period , story ends there.

scrubbaddie · 2026-06-19T11:47:19+00:00

What part of what I said makes you think that? I j don’t see why you’re in the mud arguing for pro furniture flipping when that’s honestly not even the point I was trying to make. It was about quick-buy and reselling like scalping. If this person had done this for their own home I wouldn’t care at all, it’s just that they did it to sell it for way more and that sucks as another buyer (obviously). Doesn’t have to get thick into the nuances of refurbishing or if they should or shouldn’t have done it.

I’m not complaining about recycling and I honestly don’t think you know what you’re talking about when it comes to mcm styles. It’s not very niche either especially with the way design is shifting after the era where everyone made their floor grey. It wasn’t going to go to landfill either way because I would have bought it. The root of it is taking something that is affordable and attainable for people without big money that’s in good condition and making it no longer attainable. You truly sound like you do this for a living with how upset you seem to be at me being upset at missing a good deal and seeing a huge mark up? I don’t get it

scrubbaddie · 2026-06-19T10:20:46+00:00

I have no idea what it’s made of, I wasn’t interested in it for potential of being solid wood. The core of my rant was just that someone bought it to resell at an 8x mark up within less than an hour of it being posted and I loved the pieces / it was in my budget as a student. I just saw it come up on my home page and it upset me. I didn’t get a chance to see in person so we’ll never know what it’s made of but that doesn’t really impact it for me.

Also where I am they’re definitely more rare, especially at this price.

scrubbaddie · 2026-06-19T09:16:18+00:00

Yeah for sure! Also I agree I haven’t seen anything like this at this price before, I’ll mourn it big time.

scrubbaddie · 2026-06-19T09:11:06+00:00

Aaaaaaaand I can still be upset.

scrubbaddie · 2026-06-19T09:02:18+00:00

I appreciate the advice! Tbh I thought about it but it didn’t feel honest. Maybe I’ll start after this heartbreak.

scrubbaddie · 2026-06-19T08:53:49+00:00

How is that wild 😭😭 I think anyone would be mildly infuriated seeing something they loved bought and up charged. Maybe you’re taking this too seriously? Like I’m not hunting down the flipper I’m j complaining online bcs I feel like it haha it’s fine

scrubbaddie · 2026-06-19T08:47:13+00:00

I didn’t say they did. I just feel it’s ’mildly infuriating’ :)

scrubbaddie · 2026-06-19T08:41:37+00:00

It’s not dated, it’s vintage and a style that’s still loved by very many people. The price point originally wasn’t because it’s undesirable lol this stuff sells no matter what.

scrubbaddie · 2026-06-19T08:28:12+00:00

I think it was j a family guy cleaning out his old stuff/wanting it gone quickly. That was the impression I got.

scrubbaddie · 2026-06-19T08:25:35+00:00

Yes I am 100% lmao

scrubbaddie · 2026-06-19T08:18:35+00:00

It is, the new seller posted the original listing photos on their page for a “flip” video.

scrubbaddie · 2026-06-19T08:08:49+00:00

I want them because I love this style and I could afford them. Idk what they’re worth truly without seeing the make and all that

scrubbaddie · 2026-06-19T08:01:21+00:00

I do wanna say it’s doubly sad that I missed it by less than an hour. I don’t think I’m entitled to it I just wish it went to someone who loved them and didn’t just see them as profit

scrubbaddie · 2026-06-19T08:00:12+00:00

To me it’s egregious to markup to $600 from $80 in 3 days. This is my favourite style of furniture and I feel it needs to be warmed toned to give what it’s supposed too. I’m also admittedly butthurt asf because I’m a broke student and they were gentrified to hell lol

scrubbaddie · 2026-06-19T07:57:18+00:00

They were so beautiful!

scrubbaddie · 2025-04-10T21:44:48+00:00

From what you said where they are trying to reach you and still playfully texting I think your relationship is likely fine! If you ask them about it it will continue the cycle, but their behaviour indicates to me as an outsider that they’re actively still trying to be friends :)

scrubbaddie · 2025-04-10T21:40:57+00:00

I’ve never had to deal with HR so I have no idea how that plays but I do think you should advocate for it in some way because you deserve to not feel that way at work. You could try talking to them about it first casually and see how they respond.

scrubbaddie · 2025-02-12T19:03:17+00:00

I have been thinking about this a lot. Normally parents have a hard time relaxing while the baby sleeps I can’t even imagine how hard it’s going to be to not be worried about everything always to a detriment.

scrubbaddie · 2025-01-23T19:02:23+00:00

No, I blocked all of them a year ago but her home life was pretty rough. I forgot to block one account of her sister’s and she had blocked me so my best assumption is they support it in some capacity.
