Would you wait outside all night to buy this?

I heard this on the news earlier--Starbuck's is having a ''special release'' for the 60th Anniversary of ''It's a Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown'' and of course people are lining up to buy one of the cups, or various other items connected with this, all for crazy high prices. Who in the world would pay $39.95 for one cup like this? Oh, and the limit is 2 per person. People are having trouble buying gas and paying for groceries, and this is a priority?

No. Especially when you can order them to be delivered to your home on Amazon.

Someone commented that same thought, and would you believe they said they were afraid it would never arrive because it would be stolen? How would anyone even know what it was in an Amazon box? I don't think it's going to say ''Starbuck's new Snoopy cup'' on the box, but maybe it would, I suppose.

Yes, they do. Regardless, I have no desire to own one!

Well, we have one Mylotter from The Philippines who really seems to get into these new cups Starbucks is always coming out with. I think her friends are the ones getting them for her, but she seems to take great delight in them. I don’t understand why as I could not care less. It’s an expensive cup. Maybe it’s a status symbol they are really keen on having, but it’s such a waste to me.

So were $50 Stanley Cups or bottles for your elementary kids. At least those were more useful, even if overpriced.

Even if I had the money to blow on one, I still wouldn't buy one. It seems silly, as I have plenty of coffee mugs and several insulated to-go cups, I don't need any more of them. Maybe it IS a status symbol, but I will pass!

I can buy groceries for several days with that money. I could make a long list of things I´d rather buy with it. And normal mugs can be bought for maybe $2 or so.

I feel the same way, Marga. I can make a lot of food for that amount, that would sustain us for several days . I don't care to waste money, either.

I don't like their actions or support at this time, either. Not to mention no coffee is worth the amount that they charge. When I leave the house, my insulated coffee mug goes with me, it keeps my home brewed coffee hot and fresh for a long time. I never go out for coffee.

Some people must think it's important to get these, I just don't consider it to be something I need to spend money on.

@MarieCoyle I do too, but limited in the caffeine. So far the only coffee I have found that doesn't give me an instant UTI is Farmasi's Delish. It has less than 40%. The 50/50 blends in stores do not work for me. and I don't like total decaf. Most of it doesn't taste like real coffee.

There is no way I would consider paying the prices they charge. So ridiculous. I make my coffee at home.

Some people collect Starbucks merch. I guess for some it's a big deal.

I have read that people have bought them and are selling them online for an inflated price today--I suppose that's why Starbuck's set a limit of 2 per person on the cups.

@MarieCoyle Yeah. I have the Molly collaboration one and it's the beartista cold cup. It's too cute. Now I'm just waiting for the Snoopy one and I might get the bag too.
I don't resell them though.

Son looked online to see if the resellers have hit and oh, they have...many were asking over $100 for the cup.

No, I would wait until someone sold it on Ebay for cheaper.

I don't even want one. I just don't get the hype involved with it all.

@MarieCoyle - I surely do not need those things. I have more than enough of nice elegant stuff.

I suppose, but to me in the end it’s just basically more stuff. And I have plenty of cups!

I have no desire for one, even if I had $40 to blow on it, I can think of tons of other things I need, it's just not even a temptation to me to buy these things.

I would not pay a heavy price for the "It's A Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" even it is an anniversary show.

Here I am shaking my head. People are hard to figure, and it is surprising what they think will make them happy.

You are so right, people are hard to figure out. And things like this are so not worth it to me...maybe they are to someone, but it's not me.

Even if I had unlimited cash I wouldn't wait in line nor spend that much for a cup.
I do agree that with the high price of everything how this is so popular because you know they're going to sell out.

It just seems so strange that people flock to buy stuff like this in hard times.

It's all promotional hype and they are making money on stuff that cost them next to nothing. No, thanks.
