View Full Version : YETI Tumblers - .22LR Shortage Ver. 2.0

Has anyone tried to buy a Yeti tumbler lately? Some people apparently learned well from the .22 ammo shortage and are applying the same flavor of capitalism to Yeti tumblers. They're still available on Fleabay and Amazon, for roughly double the list price. I've seen the 40 ounce tumbler, MSRP $40, offered for $80-$95. Create an artificial shortage and profit from it. An employee at a Buc-ee's (chain of huge convenience store/gas stops in Texas) told me last weekend that someone came in right after they received their last shipment and bought $7,000 of their tumblers.

How do you fit 175 tumblers in your vehicle?

Sounds like a windy only a Texan could spin.:bigsmyl2:

I drive a Pontiac Vibe, easily could fit a lot more than 175 tumblers into it, even with my wife riding along.
