Obviously, someone is unfairly cornering the market on this mug (a cast member with inside info, maybe?). I have an annual pass and live within an hours drive, so I can (and do) check every so often, but in the dozen times I've been there in the past few months, there's never been a single Pele mug to be found. Sour grapes? Yeah, I suppose... Might be the same person who's had a bunch of them on ebay with the $35 BIN. The $35 BIN seems like a good deal (only $10 over retail). The person that has been posting them must be content with less than 50% profit(is my math right?). Doesn't make much sense to me.....seems they could space out the postings and make a killing. Anyway, I still have a few left if anyone wants to trade.
