The heartache of Japanese plush toy creator Da Guo Zaomiao: ordered products sold at high prices by scalpers
Recently, the name of Japan’s name is the first name of the Japanese chestnut toy maker, Sanae Okuni.
A customer ordered a large bear doll for 55000 yen, but unexpectedly, the bear was resold to a second-hand goods website for a high price of 165000 yen in less than a month, and the scalpers earned a profit of up to 110000 yen from it. This incident shocked and disappointed Da Guo Zaomiao and his fans.
The process of reselling ordered products
Da Guo Zaomiao posted on X platform, revealing his anger and helplessness towards this matter. She stated that this customer not only frequently urged during the customization process, but also made many specific requests. Although Da Guo Zaomiao was somewhat dissatisfied with this, he still worked hard to complete this order.
On August 20th, the bear doll was completed and sent out on August 22nd.
However, recently she discovered that this teddy bear appeared on a second-hand goods website with a price tag of up to 165000 yen, far higher than her original selling price.
The effort put into the production process and the shock of discovery
Da Guo Zaomiao put a lot of effort into making this bear doll and shared the production process on social media.
Her works are usually sold for around 50000 yen, but this customer not only did not process them during the resale process, but also blatantly marked her name in the product description.
This made her feel extremely cold, especially when her fans discovered that the doll had been resold at a high price and asked her about it, she realized the seriousness of the problem.
That bear was delivered to the other party on August 22nd, and it wasn’t until today when an unfamiliar customer asked me, ‘Which event did this bear come from?’ that I was surprised. I have never sold a work for such a high price, and it was just a custom-made item
He really kept urging me at that time, asking when it would be okay and saying he needed to coordinate with the payment schedule. But what should I think of buying something for 55000 yen and reselling it for this amount in less than a month? I’m really dumbfounded
The anger of netizens and the response of scalpers
The experience of Da Guo Zao Miao has sparked strong dissatisfaction among Japanese netizens, and many people have started searching for this scalper through information on second-hand product websites. However, after the incident was exposed, the scalper seemed to realize that the situation had escalated and quickly deleted the relevant transaction information. Even the X account was cancelled, and the private message record disappeared.
The helplessness of creators and the chaos in the second-hand market
For handicraft creators like Da Guo Zaomiao, every piece of work is a work of art that has been poured with effort and time. This resale incident not only made her feel exploited, but also exposed the chaos of scalpers profiting from the labor of creators in the second-hand market. This incident has also sparked extensive discussions on how to protect original works and safeguard the rights of creators.
This incident has made Da Guo Zaomiao and her fans feel angry and helpless. The behavior of scalpers not only damages the interests of creators, but also breaks the trust between them and customers. I hope that through this incident, more people can pay attention to the value of original works, respect the labor achievements of creators, and also hope that the market can introduce more measures to protect the rights and interests of handicraft creators.
